Frugal Family: Local Deals to Save You Time and Cash!

Take advantage of the thaw, or get away from it all.

With Presidents Day coming next Monday, you can expect some sales commemorating the holiday, which happens to fall on George Washington’s birthday this year. We want to look a little beyond your mailbox or newspaper with the usual Presidents Day sales for really good bargains.

On to this week’s deals:

• Quality Scrub Car Wash, 2960 State Rd., Cuyahoga Falls, 330-928-0613; 86 Merz Blvd., Fairlawn (self-serve only), 330-864-3020. With temperatures expected to climb into the 50s this week, it’s time to wash the winter crud off your car. Quality Scrub offers a broad selection of washes, from self-serve bays to a $5 basic soap-and-water wash to full-service detailing. Lines were almost backed onto State Road in Cuyahoga Falls at times during the last thaw (your intrepid reporter drove away in frustration), so get there early or plan on some quality sitting time.

• Chima Travel, 55 Merz Blvd., Fairlawn, 330-867-4770. Had enough of winter? Maybe this is a good time to go somewhere warm and sunny. Chima Travel has just the ticket: in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, a three-night, all-inclusive (transportation, five-“apple” hotel, meals) stay for two, $1,684.38. There's golf, water sports, white beaches. And it’s an average 82 degrees during the day year-round. Agent Cari Patterson can get you there, but availability is limited. You’ll need a passport. 

• Barnes & Noble, 4015 Medina Rd., Fairlawn, 330-665-5199. If you need a quick getaway with a lower price tag and no passport required, a good book could be your thing. Get a 30 percent discount or better with a coupon download on select titles. Barnes & Noble has books, magazines and newspapers in store, and a café with free Wi-Fi for lounging and surfing.

• Motherhood Maternity, 3265 W. Market St., Fairlawn (Summit Mall), 330-873-2631. Baby showers help defray the costs of bringing a child into the world, but in the meantime, expecting moms need to accommodate that baby bump. Motherhood Maternity has some affordable goods, including spring tops starting at $9.98 and maternity dresses starting at $24.98. These are not your mother’s maternity outfits.  

• Winking Lizard, 25 Ghent Rd., across from Summit Mall, Fairlawn,  330-836-6129. Lunch specials this week include a small Santa Fe chicken pizza, $7.29; burgers, $5.79; and chicken sandwiches $6.29. The Winking Lizard has several other Northeast Ohio locations, including Route 303 in Peninsula.
