Saving money these days is something most of us want to do. That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to hunting down deals where we can find them.

This column is all about you and saving your family money. We invite you to take part, too! Just share the savings you’ve found in your local travelers with other readers by using the comments sections. If you own a business that’s offering a big special, you can e-mail Sherri.Lonon@patch.com for consideration in next week’s Frugal Family.
