Frugal Family: Presidents Day Deals

The cost for everyday needs can really take a toll on your budget. This week,we found deals for the things every Cranberry Township family needs, every day.

Presidents Day is right around the corner, and there's nothing quite like a holiday weekend to stock up and save. We at Patch found lots of great grocery deals from meats to produce that will slash your grocery bill in half.

We also found money saving coupons for  prescription medications and a way to enjoy dinner out with the family without having to dip into the college fund.  And for those of us with little ones who are in the need of a new spring wardrobe, there are some great deals for children’s clothes.

1. Giant Eagle Pharmacy

The Deal: Use the coupons in this week's flyer to fill any new or transfered prescriptions and get $1 off per gallon of fuel (up to 30 gallons) during your next fill up at GetGo. That's up to  a $30 savings, plus the pharmacy at Giant Eagle has tons of medications for only $4!
