A Look at Local Bargains

Savings on spring essentials.

Has the arrival of spring (officially this time, right?) got you scouring the local ads for deals on screen doors, spring clothes and sunscreen? Does the fair weather make you want to spend less time in the kitchen, more time in the garden? Then look no further, we've got great options for you this week in Frugal Families.

But if you've also found more fabulously frugal deals yourself, please let us know in the comments.  You're a big part of this column and we'd love your deal-finding insights.

Be sure to check with your local merchant for additional conditions.
