Frugal Family: Coupons, Electronics and More

We're all watching our family budgets these days. Whether shopping with coupons or looking for two-for-one deals, we're taking advantage of all sorts of offers and savings that help us stretch our dollars.

This column will be dedicated to giving you five great local deals each week that will help your family’s bottom line, and since we do the scouting for you, you can save time as well as money.

You are a big part of this column. Let us hear about the deals you've seen. Just add them to our comment box.

Then come back each week and see what we've uncovered together.

This week, Frugal Family dug up deals on electronics, shoes and much more.

1. Best Buy Weekly Sale
Deal: Lots of stuff throughout the store, but notably, a Panasonic Blu-Ray player for $99. How often do you see "Blu-Ray player" and "$99" used in the same sentence?
Good through: March 26

2. Dependable Land Maintenance & Tree Service 10th Anniversary
Deal: 10 percent off through the end of April. If winter hit your trees and shrubs harder than usual, this might be for you.
Good through: April 30

3. Philadelphia Soul All-You-Can-Eat Packages
Deal: Since the NFL's not going to be back any time soon (or maybe at all this year), get your fill of football and food with the Soul's three all-you-can-eat packages. Even if you're not a glutton, those stadium concessions aren't cheap, so chow through a few hot dogs and some nachos, and you're ahead of the game.
Good through: All season, either single-game or season-ticket plans available.

4. Payless In-Store and Online Savings
Deal: 15 percent off any purchase with this coupon. Now you really have no excuse for walking around in those worn-out kicks.
Good through: March 31

5. Gertrude Hawk
Deal: Free chocolate-covered pretzels when you spend $25. Chocolate lovers, you only have a little more than a week left.
Good through: March 31, or while supplies last.
