I managed to get my hands on a copy of the Winter 2013
publication of Frugals earlier than usual and I’ve already used 2 of the
coupons in there! Hurry, go find your
copy today! It’s packed full of GREAT
coupons to use at local businesses throughout the Delmarva peninsula.
New year = new style?
If so, then head to H&H Furniture in Pocomoke. They have a large showroom with a wide
variety of décor from primitive to modern, including items such as candles,
lighting, linens and even appliances. On
the inside front cover, you can save $50 on any furniture or appliance purchase
of $500 or more OR 20% off any in stock accessory item.
With the cold weather setting in, your kids might get bored
of playing with all their new Christmas gifts.
When they come asking to do something, why not try out Delmarva
Trampoline Arena in Delmar? Fun and
fitness for all ages, it’s Maryland’s first indoor trampoline park and offers
great family fun as well as birthday/group party accommodations. Not the jumping kind? Not to worry…they have softball pitching
machines to help pass the time also.
If you have never been to Delmarva Discovery Center in
Pocomoke, I highly recommend taking a visit there soon! My kids LOVE the place, especially the touch
tank with creatures local to our waters.
They will be holding their Winter Wonderland Gala on February 16 from
7-10p. Prices start at just $40. Perfect for your Valentine’s Day weekend
dinner celebration, but also a great way to help support such a great learning
tool.
Right next door is the Riverside Grill, Pocomoke’s
riverfront restaurant, sister business to the well known Back Street Grill in
Salisbury. On the back cover, you will
find several coupons for Riverside Grill, including BOGO 50% off entrée, a FREE
appetizer or $3 off your total check.
Don’t have time for a sit deal meal with your busy schedule? There are lots of coupons for fast food in
this edition also; Hardees (multiple locations, page 9), Sonic (Fruitland, page
17), Primo Hoagies (Salisbury, page 12), Subway (Crisfield/Pocomoke, page 27 or
Oak Hall/Onley/Exmore, page 42), Domino’s (Pocomoke, page 32) and 1 Fish 2 Fish
(Salisbury, page 16).
February is the month of love in case you didn’t already
know. Waterside Inn in Chincoteague
(page 40) has a “Lover’s Special” where you can receive a $100 gift certificate
for only $80 if you purchase before the end of March. Why not take your special Valentine there for
a weekend getaway at their low off-season rates and enjoy the same full
amenities that the tourists do during peak summer travel season!
Looking to take in a movie at not a lot of cost? Then head to the MarVa Theater in Pocomoke,
just down the street from Delmarva Discovery Center and Riverside Grill. They routinely offer $5 admission on
Friday/Saturday night movies , and also offer Classic movies on the second and
fourth Thursdays every month. On page
33, you will find a coupon good for a FREE drink when you purchase a large
popcorn. Don’t worry though, the snack
prices aren’t anywhere near what they are at the “big” movie theaters at the
malls and won’t break the bank if your entire family wants something to eat.
It might be too cold for the pool, but now is prime hot
tub/spa season. What, no hot tub? Not to worry, Dover Pools can help! With several locations in Maryland and
Delaware, there’s sure to be one close to you that can help you cure the winter
blues. Don’t forget the coupon on page 4
which can get you a FREE set of steps with any spa purchase.
The rodeo will be in town at the end of January. If you need some western wear for your night
out, check out Chick’s Discount Saddlery.
They have weekly online specials, and even a 20% off any purchase over
$20 (page 11).
Need the kids to run off some of their energy? Send them to Breckenridge Farms in Linkwood
where they can play paintball OR have some fun in the ATV park consisting of 3
trail systems over 14 miles long! You
can get 25% off admission using the coupon found on page 15.
While you might not be ready for retirement, certainly you
know someone who is. More and more of
those retirees are finding themselves in need of assisted living. Chesapeake Cove in Crisfield (page 31) is an
amazingly beautiful place with exceptional round the clock service and care for
your loved one. There’s NO application
fee (limited time only) and if you sign a lease by March 31, you can received
HALF OFF your 2nd & 3rd month’s rent!
Have you started looking for child care for the summer
months? Maybe you need somewhere
now? Try Mitchell’s Martial Arts in Salisbury. They offer an after school program, including
pick up at local school, homework and snack time, and martial arts
instruction. Their daycare program
employs fully licensed staff, teaches a state approved Pre-K curriculum, and
features early drop off, full or half day care with NO forced naps! It’s a fully secure facility with metal doors
and requires ID when picking children up.
With the coupon on page 23, you can save 50% off the registration fees
and also get a special discount for summer camp!
It’s officially tax season, the time of year most of us
dread! Need your tax refund fast and
cheap?! Liberty Tax Preparation is your
place, and has a coupon valid of $31 off your tax prep fee. Don’t forget to wave back to the Statue of
Liberty waving at you as you drive by.
Some find their tax refund helpful to buy larger items they need, like a
new car. If that’s the case, check out
Buchanan Subaru in Pocomoke. Not ready
to car shop yet? Consider them for your
next vehicle servicing. An oil change is
only $14.95 with the coupon on page 35.
Need some work that’s going to cost a bit more, then use the 20% off any
service over $100.
If you’re looking for something educational, check out the
12th annual Eastern Shore Heritage Celebration (page 42) at Eastern
Shore Community College in Virginia on February 23 from 10a-3p. There’s food, live music, children’s
activities, lectures, artists and other exhibits, and admission is FREE! Or, you could attend the Frontier: The War of 1812 ballet (page 37) put on by
the Ballet Theatre of Maryland at the MarVa Theater in Pocomoke on February 9
at 2p & 7p.
Spring will soon be in the air, and spring means flowers and
prom to many high schoolers in our area.
I remember my senior prom like it was yesterday. Russell’s Formal & Bridal in Parksley, VA
(page 43) have top name brand gowns in many styles and colors available. Special ordering is available, as well as
“dress registration” for MD/VA schools.
You can also get FREE alterations on current gowns AND a FREE pair of
earrings with any current gown purchase.
We all know the flowers help accent the outfit, and Four Seasons Florist
in Chincoteague (page 42) is a great place to help you do just that. With 70 years of combined experience, they
are sure to have the perfect flowers for your special occasion. Don’t forget the 20% off any one item coupon
in this Frugals edition.
Many of our local fire departments are purely based on
volunteers. This means they also rely
heavily on donations from the communities they serve to help maintain their
equipment, pay for training, and occasionally purchase new equipment. Because many of us hate the old-fashion
door-to-door soliciting for monetary donations, several departments have come
up with fun alternatives to help them earn money. For example, Parksley Volunteer Fire Company
has their Boat & Bucks giveaway on June 8th (page 41) where you
can win a 2013 Caroline Skiff DLV 19’.
Only 1000 tickets are sold, and even if you aren’t the lucky winner of
the boat, there’s also drawings for $250 cash every 15 minutes and 50/50
drawings also. Tickets are $40 each for
all this fun which also includes all you can eat & drink as well as
entertainment from 6-10p. The Girdletree
Volunteer Fire Company has a Cash Bike Bash on June 1 (page 36), which has many
of the same features as the Parksley event, except a Harley Davidson motorcycle
is the grand prize! You can order
tickets online using code FRUGALS and get 3 tickets for $100 (normally $40 each).
New in 2013, Frugals is organizing Cash Mob events
throughout the Eastern Shore at some of your favorite places to shop. Its main purpose is to support local
businesses, because it’s no secret that many are suffering from these tough
economic times, but the consumer also wins because they get awesome deals
available only for a short period of time, similar to Black Friday sales! To find out about the Cash Mob events, simply
“like” Frugals on Facebook and send an email to info@frugals.biz to request to be added to
their weekly email blasts. If you
snooze, you lose!
