Frugal Family: The Best Deals in Town

In this week's edition of Frugal Family, we cover everything from a sweet petite at Starbucks to a new group-buying site aimed directly at frugal families, with some Hungarian intrigue thrown in for good measure.

1. Starbucks There's a lot of great coffee to be enjoyed in Mill Valley, so even if Starbucks isn't your favorite cup of joe, it's still worth acknowledging their 40th anniversary this week. Join Starbucks for Tribute Days on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and they'll treat you to a free petite sweet with your beverage purchase.

2. If your kids guzzle milk like it's going out of style, then don't miss Mill Valley Market's special on Clover Organic milk half-gallons: they're just $2.99 (regular $3.99).

3. Neighborhood residents swear by their enchiladas tropical, but you might also appreciate the $2 draft beers (regular $3.75) and bite-size dishes under $5 available during their daily Happy Hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

4. Ever wondered about the skin-care secrets of Hungarians? Well, you will after reading about Evo Spa's "Hungarian Secret" facial, an  all-organic fruit acid peel layered with a warm paprika treatment. Thankfully, no ghoulash seems to be involved. Get 10 percent off the regular price of $140 (75 minutes) through the month of March.

5. Family Deals Marin Finally, we want to point you to a fairly new group-buying website aimed at Marin families. Sign up at familydealsmarin.com for their weekly deal newsletter, which come out every Wednesday. Recent deals have included deep discounts on ballet, art and music lessons, pizza, and salon services.
