I'm redoing my kitchen and putting ceramic tiles on the floor.
Should I cover the entire floor with the tiles then install the cabinets on top of the tiles or should I put the cabinets in first and then tile around them. Is there a difference? I'd be saving a bit on tile cost and work doing it the latter way.

I would tile the whole floor first. Just for the sake of knowing it was all done right. You are already saving tons of money doing it yourself.
