Frugal Family: Tune Up, Dental Exams, Rebates and More

Savings are hiding all over the place — in newspapers, online and in your own neighborhood. We snooped around town and found some fun and practical savings.

This week, your family can get full mouth dental exams for less than $100. If you’ve got some healthy chompers but want them a little brighter, the same dentist will whiten your teeth for less than $300.

An online deal will earn you a check if you qualify for one or more of their rebates. Take a look at your washer and dryer. You might get some cash back.

And we’ve got some last chance deals at a tune-up shop and a liquidation store.
