Check out Frugals spring 2014 edition



I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for warmer temperatures and more sunshine!  This winter has been a doozy, that’s for sure!  Luckily, Frugals can offer a bright spot in your day with their newest Spring edition publication.

Prism Pools & Spas in Onancock, VA is the cover feature this quarter.  Love your pool but not a fan of the work it takes to get it swim ready?  Let them do it for you, and save $50 off the service.  We all know it’s expensive for the chemicals to get it swim ready, so if you’re one of those DIY people, you can save $25 off your $50 purchase or any other service offered.  They’re not just pools and spas either; they also do storm clean-up, pole barns, house additions and concrete patios, are licensed and insured and offer free in-home consultations.

Looking for a new place to call home?  Check out Marley Manor luxury apartment homes in Salisbury.  They are offering a $99 move in with NO fees, which is a total savings of $450!  Their new floor plans include dual master suites, spacious walk in closets, extra storage and larger living rooms!

Looking for an exciting evening out?  Come to the Lucas Oil Pro-Pulling Tractor Pull at the Pocomoke Fairgrounds on June 28th--Super Pro, stock diesel tractors, modified tractors, 4WD & 2WD pickups!  This is usually a sell-out event, so get there early for the best seating!  Gates open at 4pm, show starts at 630pm.  There is also a “Romp in the Swamp” Jeep event being held on April 26-27th. 
Maybe you’re looking for a more relaxing outing?  Consider a cruise to Tangier Island.  There are daily cruises available aboard the Steven Thomas where you can discover the history & charm of Tangier Island as you walk the same paths that were visited by John Smith in 1608, or meet the island residents who still speak with an Elizabethan accent.  Check out page 4 for $2 off your day cruise ticket and $1 off a souvenir mug.

We all know that with the warmer months come a multitude of outdoor events, including the carnivals!  Salisbury Festival kicks things off on April 25th – 27th.  Friday night there’s a “Block party” with live entertainment, rides, games & shopping.  See page 20 for more information. 
Pork in the Park is May 9th-11th this year, at WinterPlace Park in Salisbury.  This is a KCBS BBQ cook off event, so the food is absolutely divine! 
Not a fan of BBQ?  Check out the Strawberry Festival in Marion, MD the same weekend.  Sponsored by the Somerset County Arts Council, they offer FREE admission, entertainment, kids activities, lots of food & drink, and even a parade. 
Hebron carnival starts May 28th and lasts thru July 5th, with fireworks on July 4th.  Check out page 3 for several $4 off rides coupons.
The Girdletree Volunteer Fire Company is hosting their 10th Anniversary Cash Bike Bash on Saturday, June 7.  Tickets are $40/person in advance or $45 at the door, which includes all the food, beer & soda you can consume!  See page 43 for more details about this event! 
The 89th Annual Chincoteague Fireman’s Carnival begins on June 27th and runs every weekend through August 2nd, with fireworks on July 4th, and the world famous Pony Penning July 28th thru August 2nd.  See page 5 for $3 off a wristband for rides. 
Parksley Volunteer Fire Company is holding a Boat & Buck$ giveaway on June 14th.  There are only 1000 tickets to be sold & you could win a 2014 Carolina Skiff DLV 19’ boat, not to mention the $25 cash drawings every 15 minutes!  Tickets to this event are $40 and include all you can eat and drink, entertainment and benefit the PVFC. 
The hottest day of the summer is almost guaranteed to be on Wednesday, July 16th, mainly because that is the day of the 38th annual J. Millard Tawes Crab & Clam Bake in Crisfield.  $40 will get you a FREE mug & mallet (while supplies last), and unlimited steamed crabs, fried fish, clams, corn on the cob, watermelon, soda, water, beer & more!  If you walk away hungry from this event, it’s your own fault.
The Chincoteague Blueberry Festival is July 25th - 27th and will have great music, food, fun kid stuff, as well as ultimate blueberry pie and fresh blueberries.  Save $1 off adult admission when you present the coupon found on page 48.

Let’s talk about food!  There are tons of eateries featured in this issue, including some new locations that I can’t wait to try for myself, like Captain Joe’s Shrimp Boat in West Ocean City.  On page 37, you’ll find a 20% off coupon.  They have a seafood market or you can dine in on their fresh shrimp/lobster, beer & wine!
Chesapeake Crabhouse & Tiki Bar is located in the quaint city of Crisfield.  They boast of the freshest seafood, including steamed crabs, hand cut steaks, Smith Island cakes, and offer waterfront open air dining.  Save $5 off your total purchase using the coupon on page 34.
Maybe you’re one of those people always on the go & don’t really have time for a sit-down meal, but want to enjoy the same delicious food others experience.  The solution to this problem is simple:  Chesapeake Treasures Seafood Carry-out on Riverside Drive in Salisbury.  They opened on April 2nd, with new management, but the same fresh seafood, delicious desserts and scrumptious salads.  Save 15% off your carry out order using the coupon found on page 28.
My family has an unspoken rule about having ice cream after eating crabs, despite being stuffed to the brim.  Naturally, I suggested Cold Stone Creamery so we could utilize the 2/$5 coupon on page 24. 
The kids might enjoy a nice, cold, refreshing ice pop from Frumex located in the Goliath Shopping Center in Salisbury.  Page 18 has a Buy 2 Get 1 FREE coupon just for you!  They are 100% natural and offer over 40 flavors, including coconut, lime, kiwi, mango & more!
The country’s best yogurt can be found at TCBY, where you can Buy 1 Get 1 FREE at their Dogwood Drive location in Salisbury.  Coupon is located on page 29.

The Emporium in Snow Hill serves breakfast all day long, but they’re NOT Denny’s, that’s for sure!  You will find exquisite items on the menu such as the Prime Rib special, the Wus burger, chicken Caesar salad, hot paninis and freshly baked muffins.  See page 37 for their hours and address.
JT’s Grill in Salisbury has a “signature burger” which is to die for!  Use the coupon on page 27 to treat yourself to a Buy 1 Get 1 half off deal.
If a hand cut, charcoal grilled steak is more your style, the Club Car CafĂ© in Parksley is the place to go!  Enjoy 20% off steak entrees when you present the coupon on page 49.
After all this eating we’ll be doing, we’re going to need to work it off somehow.  Stratosphere Trampoline Park is now open under their new name (formerly Aerosports Trampoline Park), but it’s the same GREAT place!  Enjoy BOGO admission when you bring the coupon from page 25. 
For the younger crowd, Coco’s Funhouse located in the Twilley Center has 8000+ square feet of fun, including an inflatable playground and party packages.  They also have comfy chairs and a sitting area for mom and dad to enjoy while the little ones are off playing.  Save $1 off admission using the coupon on page 20.

Wan to go shopping?  Or maybe a girl’s night out is on your calendar.  Stop by Holly’s Top Nails in Salisbury for your next manicure, pedicure, or wax job.  You can save $5 off any service when you use the coupon on page 19.

Frugals winter 2014



Happy New Year!  In case the frigid temperatures have kept you indoors, the Winter 2014 edition of Frugals is now available, and as usual, there are TONS of great coupons and offers to be had!

Despite the fact that I’m supposed to be eating healthy, the front cover advertiser, Dairy Queen, has my mouth watering for a thick & creamy “Blizzard.”  Banana cream pie is my favorite flavor.  What’s yours?  On the inside of the front cover, there are coupons for BOGO FREE double cheeseburgers and Orange Julius drinks.  The coupons can be redeemed at the North Salisbury location (next to Bob Evans) or Nanticoke Road (by the Rite Aid & Food Lion shopping center). 
Old West Steakhouse is the back cover advertiser, and their meals pictured are enough to make your mouth water, too.  Save $3 off your total check with their coupon.  Maybe you got a LORA gift certificate for Christmas & aren’t sure where to spend it—why not right here?
If you’re looking for a family friendly setting, then Andy’s Place is it.  On Monday nights, kids 12 & under eat FREE!  On page 4, they have a coupon for a $10 large pizza with 2 toppings OR a FREE appetizer of your choice with the purchase of 2 entrees.
My kids new favorite place to eat is Hardees.  Their kids meals are MUCH cheaper than the competitors, and no matter where you’re located, there’s one not far from you.  On page 9, you will find several coupons for both breakfast and lunch/dinner meals.  Don’t forget their “Pick any 2” deal for $5 (no coupon required).
On page 12, Uno Chicago Grill has a coupon for BOGO entrĂ©e when you also buy 2 drinks.  The picture on the coupon looks absolutely devine!
Don’t have time for a sit down meal?  Try Sonic, America’s Drive-In, and save 30% on your entire order OR enjoy BOGO footlong hotdog.  This coupon can be found on page 13.
Need warming up?  Looking for a cozy place to relax while you enjoy your meal?  Check out Get’N Grounded in Princess Anne.  They have fast service, and live entertainment on Friday & Saturdays from 7-9pm.  They’re more than just a coffee shop, offering breakfast & lunch meals, lite fare and Wi-Fi!  Find their coupon on page 26 and get BOGO half off a sandwich or salad.
Down in Crisfield, they have Side Street CafĂ©, offering steak, chicken, pasta, fajitas, and of course seafood!  They’re open daily at 11am, and feature a buffet on Sunday from 12-4pm.  Use the coupon on page 29 to get BOGO half price.

No doubt you’ve noticed the cold temperatures we’ve been experiencing.  Peninsula Oil doesn’t just provide oil & propane—they also offer heating and A/C service, plumbing, drain cleaning, and trash/recycling (only in Sussex County).  On page 5,  there are 3 coupons valid on a service call, new installation and UV lamp installation.  Check them out!
Do you live in an area that doesn’t receive the benefit of plowing when we receive snow?  If so, check out the ad on page 6 for Clamshell Driveways.  They offer lot clearing and plowing in addition to their namesake, clamshell driveways.  They specialize in large lots, chicken farms, and offer FREE spreading.  No job is too big or too small!
Because it is so frigid, I can almost guarantee you’re not thinking about powerwashing your home.  Well, A&J Powerwashing is!  They’re a locally owned small business, focusing on both residential and commercial cleanings, trucks/heavy equipment, condos/duplexes, and even sidewalks/patios/decks.  See page 18 to save $20 off whole house gutter cleaning or $25 off any booking in 2014.
January is typically the beginning of tax season.  Why not try H&R Block this year?  Page 36 has a coupon where you can save $20 off your tax preparation and no return is too complicated.  Let them put their expertise to work for you. 
Use your tax return at Prism Pools & Spas to make your backyard a vacation destination this summer!  There are many options and payment plans available to suit your budget.  See page 40 for more details.
Maybe your kids have been asking for a new swingset for the yard….Backyard Escapes in Pocomoke has you covered.  They have sheds, swingsets, playhouses and cabins.  There’s NO credit check and everyone’s approved.  With $199 down, they will make the first payment (March 1-31 only).  They have the best prices all year long.  See their ad on page 32 for directions and more information.
Golf your thing?  Captain’s Cove Golf & Yacht Club in Greenbackville has a few coupons on page 43.  You can enjoy 18 holes of golf for only $20 any time, walk or ride.  You can also enjoy a half price appetizer or soup with the purchase of two entrĂ©es. 

I’ve used layaway in stores before, but have never considered it for a vehicle, but maybe that’s because it’s not offered anywhere.  Wrong--Buchanan Subaru in Pocomoke does!  Page 3 has more details, but for the full info, see any salesperson.  Buchanan Subaru also offers the lowest price guarantee, Saturday service hours, a plush customer lounge, and is the top in owner loyalty in the region!  Don’t overlook the coupons for 20% off any recommended service and an oil change “plus” for $24.95.
Matrix Tinting in Delmar has a coupon on page 11 for $50 off tinting on vehicles, businesses and homes.  Tinting cuts down on glare, blocks 99.9% UV rays and keeps interior from fading.
Do you have a teen in your house who’s getting ready to get their driving permit, but still needs Drivers Ed?  Drive Time in Berlin & Salisbury offers a variety of classes, including Driver Education and Driver Improvement, in both day & night time slots.  They’re the best value shorewide at $299.93!  See pages 13 & 33 for their ads.

Who wants to win $250?!  (I do, I do!!!)  See Mr. Go Glass’ ad on page 23 for more information, but I will tell you that it’s as simple as the click of your mouse!  With locations in Delaware (Lewes & Dover), Maryland (Salisbury, Ocean Pines & Easton), and Virginia (Accomack), there’s a location near you.  Not to worry though, they come to you at no extra charge!

Honeysuckle Painted Cottage is located in Pocomoke and is a unique shop that features painted antique furniture, chalk paint and even painting classes.  You can save 30% off one item with the coupon found on page 32.
Prom dress shopping season is upon us.  Check out Russell’s Formal & Bridal in Parksley where y ou can save $20 off any current 2014 style prom gown, when you use their ad on page 42.  They have “Trunk shows” coming up in February and March, featuring top name brands in many different styles and colors.  Special order is available, FREE alterations, and dress registration available for MD & VA schools.

In case you haven’t heard, the film industry is eliminating the use of 35mm films effective immediately.  You may think that this doesn’t impact you in any way, but if you have ever been to a movie at the Mar-Va Theater in Pocomoke, it does!  In order to upgrade their equipment to industry standards, they are being required to raise a significant amount of money in a short amount of time, or close their doors.  Until the equipment is upgraded, movies can not be shown.  But, that doesn’t mean that they’re not featuring anything.  Check out Pirates of the Chesapeake ballet on February 1 or the Valentine Cabaret on February 13.  If you or your organization would like to donate, please check out their active online fundraiser, and of course they can accept donations at all of their events.  This is an important part of Eastern Shore history, especially in Pocomoke, but provides entertainment for families throughout the area.

Also, I'll be hosting coupon classes again this spring!  There will be 2 "beginner" classes and 1 "extreme" class.  Look on the right side bar for a link for more information, to register & pay.
Don't forget to "like" my blog Facebook page but also Shore Coupons where you will find coupons/offers in addition to those on my blog.

Fall edition of Frugals now available!



The fall edition of Frugals is now available!  The cover is absolutely stunning, featuring the Riverside Grill restaurant in Pocomoke.  They even have 2 coupons on the inside cover, one for $3 savings on your entire check and the other for a FREE appetizer!  Hurry and pick one up for your family today as there are TONS of new money saving offers just waiting to be collected, and now’s the perfect time to start your holiday shopping!

With fall comes cooler weather…which means higher heating bills.  Matheson Gas in Salisbury has an offer on page 5 offering a propane special for any first fill.  They pride themselves on their competitive pricing and dependable delivery, servicing commercial and residential properties in MD, DE & VA.  Hobbs Gas Service is offering a gas fireplace or heater cleaning for only $70 (page 16).  The service includes cleaning of the burners/pilots/logs, check of pilot safety, thermocouple or MC generator, service remote control, light pilot, and operation of unit through a complete cycle.

One of my favorite things to do in October with my kids is visit some of the MANY area farms/pumpkin patches we have in the area.  Adkins Farm Market (Salisbury) has a fall decorating special for $25 which includes half bale of straw, bundle of corn stalks, 1 large pumpkin, 1 small pumpkin, 5 small gourds, 1 large gourd & a mum for only $25!  There is also a BOGO coupon for entrance to their corn maze (page 15).  Just a little farther north in Vienna, there is Breckenridge Adventures, which offers 2 coupons valid for savings in their corn maze or paintball fields (page 17). 

In case you haven’t heard, shopping local is important to the economy.  Are you tired of paying astronomically high prices from big corporate internet providers?  Why not try Bloosurf, a local high speed internet company who offers free standard installation and your first month FREE.  Plans start at only $29.99 per month (page 18).   
Consider gift cards to local restaurants as gifts for any occasion.  LORA stands for Locally Owned Restaurant Association and there are lots of GREAT eateries to choose from.  When you purchase $100+ in gift certificates, you can receive an extra $20 worth of FREE gift certificates (page 6).  Looking for something quick and easy for a gathering?  Consider Domino’s for your pizza needs and treat yourself to a carry out or delivery BOGO deal for large pizzas (page 36).  Pickles Subs & Deli (Onley, VA) has a coupon good for $2.50 off any purchase of $10 on page 45.  Saladworks is opening a new location in South Salisbury soon, across from Salisbury University.  If you’re looking for a job, you can apply at the current location in North Salisbury.  You can take advantage of 10% off any entrĂ©e by presenting the coupon on page 22.  In the mood for some Irish-American comfort food, or maybe just a good beer?  Check out the Irish Penny Pub & Grill in Salisbury.  Use the coupon on page 23 & get $5 off a purchase of $30+. 
 
Market Street Boutique in Pocomoke has a unique gathering of fine items you’re bound to love, from jewelry, apparel and handbags to perfume, soaps and collectibles.  Get 20% off your total purchase when you use the coupon on page 33.  Just down the street, you will find Heart-n-Home Gifts.  Their Christmas open house is to be held on Nov 15 & 16.  You can save 20% off your purchase with the coupon on page 32.  They have Baci beads, Willow Tree angels, tervis tumblers and even inspirational giftware.  Another great shopping opportunity is the same weekend (Nov 15-17) at H&H Furniture, also in Pocomoke, during their Spirit of Christmas weekend, where you can save 20% off any in stock accessory using the coupon on page 34.    I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t love to get jewelry.  Bailey Jewelers in Princess Anne is one of the most unique jewelry stores you will ever visit as many of their pieces are handmade and original designs.  Check out their coupon on page 3 to save 50% on any one item either in store or online.  I have to say that I can personally attest to their service, value and quality as my engagement and wedding rings both came from there, along with my husband’s band also.

With all this shopping you’re going to be doing, you might just need a storage unit to hide it all in.  Why not consider Greenbrier Self storage in Delmar, with units starting at just $45 a month.  You can save 25% off storage unit rental all year with their coupon on page 8, and they even have office space available should you be looking for a location.

With the holidays comes an increase in the mail we send.  Why not try Print & Ship in Princess Anne for your one stop shopping.  They’re more than just a copy center, offering services related to bulk mailing, business cards, wedding invitation, vinyl banners, vehicle magnets, and they are even a Fed-Ex shipping center.  Check out their ad on page 29 for more services they offer!

Girdletree Volunteer Fire Company is holding their 5th annual fall cash bash on November 2nd from 6-10pm.  Tickets are just $25 and there is $200 cash given away every 15 minutes, with a grand prize of $2500.  Buy 5 tickets for the price of 4 when you order online using offer code FRU1113.  Ticket cost includes all you can eat & drink clam fritters, pork BBQ, fries, beer, soda & much more!  There will also be bull riding, door prizes, silent auctions & raffles.  For more information, check out their ad on page 40.

Don’t know what your kids want for Christmas?  Stop guess!  Head right on over to AeroSports Trampoline park in Delmar and purchase their “Frequent flyer deal” of 7 jump hours for only $60--That’s a $45 savings!  See page 24 for more details.
For the big kid in your life, PASCO sells high quality products at a great price with highly trained staff and quick service for automotive, marine, agriculture, industrial, powersports, heavy duty truck & more!  You can save 10% off any alternator, starter or battery with the ad on the back cover of Frugals.  They have multiple locations across the Eastern Shore, so there’s one close to you.

I’m not one to push religion, but the Walk Through Bethlehem at Lynnhaven Baptist Church in Pocomoke is one of my most favorite holiday activities.  We’ve done it twice, and the kids are already asking if we’re going back this year (Of course!).  It’s not a play, but an interactive, unique, outdoor experience that’s FREE with refreshments available.  Get there early, because lines tend to form outside once inside the church is full.  Did I mention there are live animals—even a camel?!  See page 4 for more details, dates and contact information.

You’ve heard of a flash mob, right?  Well, the newest thing is a CASH MOB!  A Cash Mob is similar to the Black Friday experience, but a local business will offer awesome discounts of 50-75% off regular retail price for a short period of time.  Sometimes there are light refreshments and door buster deals in addition to the already reduced savings.  There was one at Season’s Best Antiques in Salisbury last weekend, and one coming up at Olive Street Mall in Salisbury on November 16 from 10a-1p.  Attending a Cash Mob is an exciting experience, but it also supports local businesses!  For directions to either location, check out pages 12-13 in Frugals.
