Living Social has a great deal for anyone in or around Carlsbad. For only $24 you will get a 2 hour Aquacycle or Paddleboard rental. That’s a great way to try out something new without putting a lot of money into it and this would make a fantastic family activity.
We’ve lived here for nearly a year and half now and we have never been to the Carlsbad Lagoon so we’re definitely taking advantage of this deal as a way to test the waters.
Snag this deal before it’s gone!

My kids love going out for frozen yogurt because they can pick whatever toppings and flavors they want and because you purchase the yogurt based on weight, you can make it a frugal treat by only getting the perfect sized treat. FroYo has a great Groupon going on today that is good for $6 worth of frozen yogurt for only $3. I usually have some credit at Groupon from referring a friend so this was free for us. You can’t beat that! This is good for 2 North County San Diego locations (San Marcos and Oceanside).

I absolutely refuse to pay full price for a movie ticket. For the price of two tickets I could buy the movie when it comes out. Fortunately there are usually some great deals on movie tickets if you take the time to look for them. Living Social has a great deal for 2 Fandango movie tickets for only $9. That’s a great way to have a frugal date night! This deal will go for today only so hurry and grab your tickets so you have them for your next night out at the movie theatre.

I wear my contacts 99% of the time so I haven’t bothered replacing my glasses that are at least 5 years old and a good 2 prescriptions outdated because it just wasn’t worth the cost to me for the amount of time I wear them. Coastal Contacts has an amazing deal for California residents on Thursday, February 10th. They are giving away 5,000 pairs of free prescription glasses – all you have to pay for is the shipping which is under $15. That’s a GREAT deal if you need to buy prescription glasses anytime in the near future. I’ve never bought glasses online but I’ve talked to more and more people who have had good luck doing that and for the price, I’m willing to give it a try.
To get your code for a free pair of prescription glasses you have to go to the Coastal Contacts Facebook page now and claim your code. The code will be valid starting at 12:01 pm PST on 2/10. I’m going to give it a try. If you’ve used Coastal Contacts before, let us know how you liked them.

Amazon has the Scotch Thermal Laminator on sale for only $16.99. This frequently goes on sale but this is the lowest price I have ever seen it at. This is great for educational activities or protecting papers that you use frequently and for the price, it’s much cheaper than heading out to the store every time you need to laminate something.
Be sure to follow Frugal SoCal on Facebook so you don’t miss any of the great deals we find this holiday season.

Toys R Us is giving you a chance to start your holiday shopping before the Black Friday rush with some great deals this week through 11/24. There are some great opportunities to stock up on games and other toys.
After a $3 mail in rebate, selected games, such as Twister, Scrabble, Trouble, Sorry, and Operation are on sale for only $5.99. This is quite a bit cheaper than even the Amazon.com prices and they usually have the lowest prices.
Blokus is one of my family’s favorite games – and I’m not a huge board game fan. This is generally a more expensive game but even at the higher price, it’s worth the cost. Toys R Us has it on sale for $19.49, which is the lowest I’ve seen it.
Break the Ice, Ants in the Pants, Candyland, and Memory are on sale for $4.99 and after a $2 rebate the final price is only $2.99. These are always a classic at this price I’d stock up on them for birthday gifts throughout the year.
If you have any Toy Story fans on your holiday shopping list you’ll be thrilled to see that all Toy Story 3 action figures are 20% off. They don’t have specific prices listed in the ad but I haven’t seen these go on sale yet so this could be a great discount.
The Dinosaur Train Interaction Boris is on sale for 25% off. Keep an eye out for a Dinosaur Train giveaway coming up soon on Busy Mommy Media. If your kids are into dinosaurs at all, these are fun toys.
Get a FREE copy of “Mario and Sonic at the Olympics” when you buy a Nintendo Wii. The Wii is sold for $199.00, which is pretty much the same price it is everywhere else. Those rarely go on sale.
The Step 2 Naturally Playful Countryside Cottage is on sale for $199.00. This is at least $100 cheaper than I have seen it anywhere else and Step 2 is a great brand so if you are searching for a great deal on a playhouse, this is it.
