Frugal Family: Chic Shoes and Flattering Jeans

Welcome savvy shoppers to the latest Frugal Family column, where we at Santa Monica Patch search high, we search low, and then we search the middle to bring you the best offers, discounts and sales so your buck is stretched a bit farther. Please, please, lavish thank yous make us blush.

This week we’ve got bargains on shoes, all things cooking and more.

We knew it—you heard of an upcoming sale! Spill the details in the comment box below please. Oh no! We missed out on the bargain of the century? Let us know of our embarrassing mistake as well. We at Patch always want to hear from you!

• WILLIAMS-SONOMA

Deal: This cook’s mecca is having a summer sale, so stop on by its Montana Avenue or click on over to its retail shop to find items at up to 50 percent off. I personally plan on hoarding their Monkey Bread Mix.

• PIPERLIME

Deal: It may be summer, but no need to let your feet go completely bare—especially not when this online store is having a huge shoe sale. Trendy brands like Boutique 9, Cole Haan, Via Spiga and Dolce Vita are all up for grabs at a major discount, plus free shipping and free returns. Nope, it’s not to good to be true!
