I don't live in Florida. but I found things like pelleted food and toys are always cheaper at a bird show compared to pet stores or online websites. If the admission is free, then that's even better. lol. If there is something in particular you are interested in purchasing, do your homework first so when you see it there, you will know if you are getting a deal. I bought a Kings cage from a vendor at a bird show and I am really pleased with it. I suggest you buy in bulk unless you know the show makes frequent appearances in your area.
