Orlando Premium Outlet Mall – VIP Coupon Book

Orlando Premium Outlet MallWe all love shopping and finding deals!   Recently I had received a VIP coupon book for the Orlando Premium Outlets that included a specific deal at each of the 110 stores.   Depending on the store the savings could be applied to one item or a specific dollar amount or % for the total purchase.   You can purchase a VIP coupon book at the Information Center for $5.00 near the Food Court.   The savings were HUGE for a $5.00 investment.
