Sightseeing / Attractions

Seattle is famous for some of its well known attractions like the Space Needle, zoos and more. If you plan to visit some of these, I highly recommend looking into the City Pass. It will allow you to be a tourist in your city for a week at one set cost. There are also more affordable alternatives to some of the more well known attractions like the towers. Here is a list of great Seattle attractions you can explore this summer.

Under $10 Attractions:

• Woodland Park Zoo - Go on one of their Half Priced Rainy Day Specials for discounted admission
• Ballard Locks 
• Ferry Ride - Fares range from around $5-$8 pp (youth fares less) for walk on passengers. Find current Washington State Ferry Fares here.
• Columbia Tower - Don’t want to spend the money on the Space Needle, then head over to the Columbia Tower Observation Deck for amazing views and a much friendlier price (Adults – $9, Children 6-12 – $6, Children 5 & under – free). It is the tallest viewing area west of the Mississippi River. You can ride to the 40th floor for free (and get a Starbucks  there) or continue on up to the 73rd floor observation deck for $5.
• Smith Tower - This observation deck is on the 35th floor and provides views of The Wheel, The Space Needle and more! Its $7.50 per adult, $6 for seniors and students. $5.00 for kids 6-12 and kids 5 and under are free. It is also where you can see the Seattle Chinese Room, a piece of Seattle history!
• Washington Park Arboretum  

$10 & up Attractions:

• City Pass - If you want to visit more then one of Seattle’s main attractions, the City Pass is a great way to save. You can visit the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, EMP Museum, Woodland Park Zoo or Museum of flight, and an Argosy Harbor Cruise all for one price. Current price is $74 for an adult, so if you visit all 6 attractions it works out to $12.33 per attraction.

Discount Tickets for Sporting Events, Theater & More

Looking for ways to get a deal on event tickets for sporting or theater events. Here are some resources we have used to help us save with our families:

• Goldstar - Offers discount tickets for many different Seattle area events (everything from Pike Place Market Tours to Argosy Cruises, Sporting events and comedy shows). Its a great way to save!
• Teen Tix  – Teens can get $5 tickets to over 40 Seattle area art venues.

Open Air Markets

The markets are a wonderful way to purchase everything from fresh produce and meats to great flowers and keepsakes. They are also lots of fun to just to hang out and people watch. There are often street performers you can enjoy and other events. Turn your grocery shopping into a fun day out!

• Pike Place Market
• Freemont Market
• Ballard Market
• International District Night Market
• Madrona Farmers Market
• Wallingford Farmers Market

Staycation Tips

So now you know where to go…here are some of our favorite tips for saving while getting here and throughout your day:

• Plan your trip around one of the Free parking days in Seattle
• Consider taking mass transit rather then pay for parking. You can ride a bus, or use the Light Rail.
• Pack lots of snacks and water, and then splurge on a humbow or mini donuts at the Pike Place Market. Neither will cost you what it would to eat a meal out, but you still get the fun of eating something someone else cooked for you!
• Park in West Seattle (free street parking in the neighborhoods) and ride the Water Taxi over to downtown
• Use coupons. You can find various deals on restaurants in the Seattle area on sites like Groupon, Living Social and Amazon Local.

Are you new to shopping at Target with coupons?

• Target allows you to stack 1 manufacturer’s coupon with 1 Target store coupon. The total of the coupons must be less than or equal to the price of the product (they do not allow overage). They should mark the price down of the coupon if the coupon value is greater than the price of the product.
• Target Coupon Policy – I recommend printing off the coupon policy & keeping it in your coupon binder in case you run into any problems. Their policy says they do allow internet printable manufacturer’s coupons.
• Target Price-Matching Policy- Target will match any competitor’s printed ad price for the exact same product. You must bring in the complete competitor’s ad & it must be local & current. This is another policy I recommend you print & keep in your coupon binder.
• Target Printable Coupons – Print Target store coupons & manufacturer’s coupons
• Target Mobile Coupons – Do you have a smart phone? If so, sign up to receive exclusive Target store coupons on your mobile phone (scroll down to where it says “Coupon Alert” to provide your mobile phone number.) They will provide up to 5 messages per month. Standard text messaging rates apply.

Bobs Red Mill Gluten FREE Pizza Crust is just $2.76 per pack on Amazon.com when you buy a 4 pack. That’s a great price for this product. My family uses it for Pizza Crust, and really like it for a Gluten free version.

Here’s how it works:

• Choose the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix, 16-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4) currently priced at $11.56 at Amazon.com.
• Select “Save 5% with Subscribe & Save” (under “Add to Cart” on right sidebar). I always choose the 6 month option – gives me a little cushion time if I choose to unsubscribe. Once your order has shipped, you can continue with the Subscribe & save feature or easily cancel it, if you choose.
• Total will come to $11.02 or $ $2.75 per pack, shipped!

My favorite thing about this product, is that it does not need to be refrigerated. That means I can keep the makings for a good start to a homemade pizza in the cupboards. When I need a quick meal, or have left overs to use, its a great meal to throw together.

You can read about how we use left overs to make great homemade pizza here too, if you need a little inspiration for a cheap meal, or how to re-work those left overs.

These Melissa and Doug reusable sticker books are priced between $4 – $7 dollars ea. If you are planning any road trips this summer with young kids, these are great for passing time in the car. I discovered them when I was planning for a long road trip our family was taking this Spring, and they worked great! They provided great entertainment in the car for our young kids, and they still love to play with them at home. We have had one of them for over a year now, and they still use it!

They also make great gifts. They are very large (size of those giant coloring books), so just one would be a cool and affordable gift (buy 4 or 5 to stock up your gift closet and get free Super Saver shipping for orders of $25+).

If you have more then one kiddo that would enjoy these, we were able to easily pull out each scene and then we store the stickers for each scene in separate zip loc bags. That way they can both plan with the same book, and then we just store it all back in the book when they are done – and no fighting!

We are going to try posting the Walgreens deals for a few weeks to see if you like them & if so, then we will be bringing these as a regular feature each weekend. Let us know if you like shopping at Walgreens and give us your feedback!

Here are a few things to know when shopping at Walgreens:

• Print a copy of the current Walgreens coupon policy
• Sign up for the Walgreens Balance Rewards program (you can sign up online, in-store or call them at 855-225-9225). You need to sign up for this in order to get the sale prices at Walgreens. Basically you will be earning points based on your purchase with the Balance Reward program. You will be earning points based on buying specific items in the ad (which will be clearly marked). These Balance Rewards can then be spent online or in-store.
• Walgreens Register Rewards – These are manufacturer’s coupons that print out from the register after your transaction is complete & based on your purchases. These look similar to catalinas from the grocery store & you can use it as dollars off on a future transaction.  You will only get 1 Register Reward per transaction for that specific item/promotion. So if you want multiple Register Rewards for that same promotion, you will need to do separate transactions.
• Coupon to Item Ratio – Walgreens requires that “the number of manufacturer coupons, including Register Reward manufacturer coupons, may not exceed the number of items in a transaction. So, the number of manufacturer coupons needs to equal the number of items you have. This means that you may need a filler item if you have 1 item and 2 coupons – you will need a filler item for that 2nd coupon to apply to.
• Coupon Order at Walgreens – The best way to hand over your coupons at Walgreens to make sure they all apply is to give them the manufacturers coupon first, then the Walgreens store coupon and lastly the Register Reward coupon.

• Walgreens In-Ad Coupons – You will find coupons in the Walgreens ad which are typically Walgreens store coupons but may occasionally be manufacturer’s coupons (it will say that it’s a manufacturer’s coupon at the top)
• Instant Value Coupons (IVC) - These are basically store sales but you will need to clip the coupon or have them scan the coupon for the sale. These can be found at the front of the store in a monthly coupon booklet or sometimes in the Walgreens store ad.

*** These are the best deals of the week in our opinion.

Walgreens Deals 5/19 – 5/25 is a post from: Thrifty NW Mom

Here are this week’s Fred Meyer weekly deals & coupon matchups through May 25th, thanks to Thrifty & Thriving. Make sure to check the store ad yourself & use the Thrifty NW Mom Coupon Database if there are specific sale items that you’d like to match with a coupon.

You can use E-coupons paired with Fred Meyer store coupons. So, make sure to load E-coupons from these sites to your Fred Meyer card before you go: Shortcuts.com, Cellfire.com & FredMeyer.com. You can no longer pair E-coupons with manufacturer coupons, though.

Fred Meyer Coupon Policy:
Fred Meyer has their coupon policy online, which means that you can print it off & stash it away in your coupon binder. One important change to their coupon policy recently – you can use Catalina coupons from other stores at Fred Meyer! Another recent change is that only 2 internet coupons per manufacturer, per customer, per day will be accepted.

Rite Aid Deals 5/19 – 5/25 is a post from: Thrifty NW Mom

Ace Hardware is having a sale on some great summer items for the next few days as part of their “Ready for the Sun” ad. Some of these sales may only be going on thru May 20th, while the rest of them will be taking place through May 31st, 2013.

Here are a few of the best deals I saw – let us know what other deals you find!

10′ x 10′ Gazebo with Canopy Top & side netting – $99.99 (regularly $179)  - looks very similar to a Target Daily Deal we posted earlier in the week for $150 for a Grill Gazebo  - definitely one of the lowest prices I’ve seen on an item like this!  *This sale should only be happening through 5/20/13  (Thanks Diana!)

Tomato Cages – 3 for $9.99 – this equals just $3.33/ea for a tomato cage!
