$30 on the 30th
The Northwest Florida Daily News is starting a program called “$30 on the 30th.” Advertisers are to promote a $30 or 30% discount at their store on the 30th of July. In turn, readers register to win a $30 gift certificate by telling what they would do with an extra $30. A daily drawing will be held from the 15th until the 26th, and those winners will be paired up with the advertiser that offers something close to what they said they would spend the extra $30. For more information, call Heather Clift at (850) 315-4356.
