Frugals Winter edition!

One of the things I look forward to most after the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season is getting the newest copy of the Frugals publication!  As always, the Winter 2015 edition is packed full with TONS of coupons at local retailers in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

Buchanan Subaru graces the cover, and on the inside of the front cover you will find a variety of coupons towards one of their many services.  A few minutes south, into New Church, VA is where Davis Auto Center is located.  They want to give you $200 off when you present the coupon on page 41.  Just north of Buchanan, in Westover, you will find R W Motors, who is featured on page 6.  Here you will find an offer for $750 off any car or truck on their lot!  Just a little farther north to Delmar, DE, is K&B Auto.  On page 12, they have a coupon for $100 off your down payment with any vehicle purchase.  For those who may be lucky enough to already have a vehicle, but still need driving school, check out Drive Time with locations in Salisbury and Berlin.  Classes start at only $49 & there is a $10 coupon on page 17.  On the same page, you will also find coupons for Grease Monkey good towards $15 off a full service oil change & tire rotation package or $10 off brake service.  

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner…Instead of giving the same old gift, give your Someone Special something special this year!  Try an Edible Arrangement and save $5 off an arrangement or dipped fruit box with the coupon on page 17.  If a romantic dinner out is more your style, then check out the Mar-Va Theater’s Valentine Cabaret event.  It features dinner and wine pairings on February 13.  See page 33 for more details.  I don’t know too many women who turn down jewelry….well, none actually! CD Marsh Jeweler (page 40) is your one stop Valentine’s shop with gifts starting at $25.   Of course, we can’t forget flowers!  Four Seasons florist in Chincoteague has a 20% off any one item on page 36.  Fun fact:  Many might think that Valentine’s Day is the #1 holiday for flower purchases, but according to www.aboutflowers.com, Christmas & Mother’s Day are ahead of Valentine’s Day.  Also in Chincoteague is the Waterside Inn, family owned and operated since 1987, providing all the tranquility you’re looking for without the high cost!  Page 23 has a Frugals exclusive offer for 20% off your stay.  This particular place is of special memory to me as it is where my husband proposed to me.  We will celebrate our 11^th anniversary on Valentine’s Day!  While you’re in Chincoteague, head on over to Island Creamery for some delicious ice cream, and enjoy BOGO FREE coffee drinks with the coupon on page 42.  Maybe you want to help your significant other relax this Valentine’s Day…Then Massage Envy in Salisbury can help!  With massages for only $49.99 and facials starting at $59.99, you can’t go wrong!  See page 19 for more details.  For the boater in your life, take them on a date to the 32^nd annual Seaside Boat Show in Ocean City.  Hubby and I actually went here during our Honeymoon stay in OC.  You can find more details on page 4.

If you’re looking for a new radio station to listen to, flip to 96.5 FM, CTG, the Variety Station.  CTG features a blend of rock & pop hits from the 70s thru today.  The on air team is unique in that all the programming is live with local personalities.  That old saying that “variety is the spice of life” has proven quite true as CTG Variety has become a fast growing entertainment and information source for the shore.  Check out pages 7-9 for more information on this station!

Many people dread the start of a new year, because it means tax season is lurking in the shadows.  Nothing takes away the joy of the holiday faster than a tax bill.  Luckily, you don’t have to fret over doing them yourself.  Liberty Tax has a coupon on page 16 good for $31 off your tax prep fee.  They have locations in Salisbury and Pocomoke.  The Book End in Exmore, VA, offers income tax preparation, bookkeeping services and payroll, including direct deposit and debit card.  Check out their ad on page 37.  H&R Block in Pocomoke has a coupon on page 32 valid for $25 off your tax prep for new clients.  This year, it seems as if our tax refund might already be claimed as my son was recently told he may need braces…I’ll admit it, the thought of that bill scares the crap out of me!  But, with the coupon for Dr. James Crouse on page 18, maybe it might not be so bad after all.  Hey, every little bit helps!

Russell’s Formal & Bridal in Parksley is having a Trunk Show January 23-25!  Visit them to try on all the new 2015 styles:  top name brands, tons of colors, special order available and MUCH more!   See page 43 for more information and a coupon to save you $20 on any current 2015 style prom gown!
