Frugal Family: Five Deals to Stretch the Family Budget
We've scoured the neighborhood for deals, so you won't have to!
Welcome back to our weekly rundown of five local deals to help with your family’s bottom line. Since we do the scouting, we're saving you time as well as money.
This Presidents Day week, we scoured our local sources and came up with deals on taking the family out for pottery-making or dessert (or both); mom's shopping; clearing some space in your house; and a steal of a deal on hair care products. Remember to check with the merchant for additional conditions, if any.
