Frugal Family: Discounts and Deals Around Town

Welcome back to Frugal Family, a place where we share deals to help you out with penny pinching. Times are tough for all of us, so each week, we’ll give you five local (and sometimes not so local) specials to take advantage of.

This week, Patch found some savings around town and beyond. Check out the deals on snack foods, dessert for a date and home décor. We also found a new local art wheel studio that’s offering a can’t-believe-it discount for studio time for first timers.

Remember that you’re a big part of this column! If you’ve spotted some stellar specials around town, tell us in the comments! And don’t forget to check with each merchant for additional details.
