Frugal Family: Week of 2/24-3/2

After scouring the neighborhood Mar Vista Patch has come up with great deals for children, teenagers and even grandparents.

This week we’ve found some great deals for all ages. Pick-out a baseball cap at Washington Sportswear and get it embroidered with your chil’s name. Treat grandma to a new 'do' at Bella’s Hair Styling,  or enjoy a free art class with your teen at the Rediscover Center. Take the entire family bowling and buy some healthy produce at the 99 Cents Only Store (who knew?).
