We're all watching our family budgets these days. Whether shopping with coupons or looking for two-for-one deals, we're taking advantage of all sorts of offers and savings that help us stretch our dollars.
This Frugal Family column is dedicated to giving you five great local deals each week that will help your family’s bottom line, and since we do the scouting for you, you can save time as well as money.
You are a big part of this column. Let us hear about the deals you've seen. Just add them to our comment box.
Then come back each week and see what we've uncovered together.
This week, Woburn Patch scoured our local sources to come up with great deals for you and your family!
Deal: Lots of good deals this week, including American cheese at $2.99/lb., Hood Ice Cream 2 for $5, Synder's Pretzels at 2/$4 and Q-tips, 2/$3. Also of note: Folgers coffee is on sale for $6.99.

Deal: The sun will eventually come out and when it does, you should be prepared with sun block. This week, when you buy two Coppertone products you’ll receive $8 in Extra Bucks (EB). Stop at the CVS kiosk before you purchase and a coupon for $5 off any Coppertone product will come out. Adding in the kiosk coupon and the EB rewards, that’s a $13 savings (prices range from $9.99-$12.79), a great deal!
