Frugal Family: Frappes, Samples and Cookware

Hi there! We're much obliged to you for checking out the newest edition of Frugal Family, where we at Santa Monica Patch scour the earth (or less dramatically, Santa Monica and the Internet) to find you the best local deals, steals and coupons.

We’ve got bargains on fancy cookware, skincare and more this week—and they are all in our lovely city or just a mouse-click away!

Did you come across an amazing deal? Hear of one coming up? Well, please don’t keep it to yourself! Share all the details in the comment box below! Oh the agony—did we miss a grand offer? Give us that info too; we at Patch always want to hear from you!

1. STARBUCKS

Deal: Hmm … so many delicious choices. Caramel, strawberries and crème; mocha coconut; java chip; or café vanilla? Heck, try them all during Frappuccino Happy Hour! From 3 to 5 p.m., all these blended beverages are half-price, so feel free to indulge! (Also, they come in light versions, so you can really treat yourself.) Curious, if I get the light version, does that mean I can also eat one of their scrumptious baked goods?

Good Through: Sunday

2. SUR LA TABLE

Deal: Feel like a Top Chef even when cooking your kids’ favorite macaroni and cheese with super luxe cookware from Sur La Table. It’s their biggest cookware sale of the year, and most items are 50 percent off! Plus, you’ll find other fabulous items for sale as well at their close to the or their online store—bon appetit!

Good Through: While supplies last
