Frugal Family: Mother's Day Freebies

This "new" used book store in the heart of Enumclaw has a selection of poetry books on display. These books have been specifically chosen for that special mom in your life. In celebration of Mother's Day, The Sequel is offering free lattes to every mom. Recycled books on the cheap and a free latte, that's one sweet mom's day deal!

Kids, this one if for you.  Bring your mom into Old School Frozen Custard this Sunday, May 8th, and get her a single scoop cone or cup for free! Touted as the Northwest's freshest ice cream, this homemade treat is whipped up fresh with the standard choices in addition to a single flavor of the day. I found this deal on their Facebook page, which is always a great way to find local deals.  Plus, with this page you get updates on the flavor of the day. 

These two locally owned Enumclaw businesses are teaming up to offer a special dinner for Mother's Day. Don't gasp a the $50 per person price tag!  This is a steal for the goument meal and professional wine pairing, which starts with bubbly and ends with a surprise chocolate dessert. Patch called and confirmed there is still availability, but don't hesitate to make the reservation if this is how you want to go because there are only a few seats left for this limited seating wine experience. The price includes includes four courses paired with wines from  Knipprath Cellars Wines from Spokane, WA. Click here for more details and the full menu.

This week, the pastry chefs at The Orting Bakery are working on a special selection of delectable Mother's Day Cakes. They will have single layer cakes starting at $10.25 and double layer cakes starting at $15.25. Customers can choose from any of the cakes in the display case or call the shop and order a custom message. Plus, when looking for something to go with those flowers you bought, don't underestimate Mom's love for the variety of other baked goods such as breads, pastries, and cookies all made fresh daily. 

Some of us just can't shop local for things like flowers only because Mom lives in another town. If you order a Mother's Day bouquet from the FTD website, many of the arrangements are on sale for up to 25 percent off.  In addition, you can save $5 by using the coupon code "SAVEFIVE" during checkout, which can take the sting out of the delivery fee. The main website will locate a florist where ever your delivery is headed, but if you do have the option to shop local and still want to use the coupon code here are the local FTD shops I found online: Wesley Berry Flowers delivers in both Bonney Lake and Sumner and Buds & Blooms delivers in Enumclaw. Order soon because the weekend and holiday cut-offs are in effect!
