Massage, Zumba Deals Up For Grabs

With the economy still struggling to recover from recessionary levels, saving every dollar possible at local shops and restaurants may be a necessary evil to help make ends meet.

To help readers find ways to save money we'll feature five deals offered by area merchants and establishments in our weekly "Frugal Family" column, which will run every Wednesday.

However, we also want shoppers to contribute to the conversation by posting deals they're familiar with in the comments section below on this column.
