Hey guys.....
My husband and I just bought a condo in Garden City and I'm not sure about "locals" discounts. I asked at the Aquarium and there was a 50% discount! I'm not sure if restaurants offer them or not...is there a list somewhere? Also, our DL say Greenwood SC so do places make you prove your residency and if so, do I just carry around a power bill or something?

I don't want to be impolite or seem pushy but I do want to take advantage of every dollar I can put into savings

Let me know your thoughts......

Most of the attractions offer a local discount.
I shop at Tiki Jims at the mall and they also offer a locals discount.

You can also purchase a VIP discount card for $10.00.

Thanks. I guess I'll just have to remember to ask for the discount whenever we go to local restaurants.....

I found this in our local paper today. Here is the link about local discounts at Broadway at the Beach.

A lot of places have them. You'll just need your driver's license.

Hey USCGAL --
Great Link!! Thanks so much!!!!
I will spend 6 months there and 6 months in the upstate...I wonder if I can have two DLs or how I will handle getting my local ID if I still have my Upstate SC ID.

Should be able to get a local ID card by showing proof of residency, light bill, phone bill, tax bills, etc..

You are not allowed to (legally) possess two DL's... ;-)

I just thought to ask about this at a mini golf place Saturday evening.. The gentleman offered my wife and I the same kid rate that my 7yr old niece was charged! Very neat indeed..

Yah, I'm going to take the Cable bill to the DMV down there to see if I can get a resident's card.....makes the most sense. And heck yeah, folks....we need to help each other find ways to save $$ and still have the extras that make life fun.
