It’s no secret that money and time are tight these days, which is why Frugal Family is dedicated to finding you five great local deals each week.  From day-to-day needs to home services to special occasions, we’ve got you covered.

This week, Frugal Family sought out deals on sporting goods, gardening supplies, flowers, child care and dining out.

If any of these specials catch your eye, feel free to share this column with your family and friends.  If you uncover another great deal, tell us about it in the comments below.

Frugal Tip: Coupons usually run on a six week cycle.  If something you buy often has coupons, you can try to wait for the new coupons to run.  This can also help with waiting and finding sales to use coupons for even more savings!
