Frugal Family: Girl Scout Cookies and Glasses

We've all learned that money doesn't grow on trees. 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 week, Frugal Family scoured our local sources to come up with great deals on clothing, dining  and eyeglasses.

These deals will help your family’s bottom line, and since we do the scouting for you, you can save time as well as money.

Remember to check with the merchant for additional conditions, and add any deals you come across in your daily travels into our comments field below.
