Shoppers planning to explore Flea Across Florida in search of the best bargain may benefit from the following tips:
- Not every vendor will accept card or digital payment, so carrying cash in small bills will prevent missing out on a deal
- Sun protection such as sunscreen, hat, and shades will help protect shoppers from harmful UV rays
- Stay well hydrated to avoid heat related injuries
