No jokes here, just some good options for your weekend.

First, Clipper Magazine is arriving in homes this week. Mine had coupons on the front for the new Japanese restaurant in Avondale, and inside there were two good coupons for TGIFriday’s–a $5 off $15 and a 20% off entire table.

Borders-no events listed.

Lowe’s-no events listed.

Barnes & Noble-events are very location specific. There are a few kids storytimes listed in our region.

Home Depot-first weekend of month=kids clinics. This month’s clinic is a planter basket.

Saturday-for Chester county and other southern counties it’s opening day for trout season. Licenses are relatively inexpensive and there are many places to borrow rods & tackle for free. And kids don’t need licenses. Can’t get much cheaper than that-especially if you catch your dinner.

Saturday-the CC Exton Library is having a class on photoshop. Call 610.280.2666 fmi.

The Kennett Library is having an Anime club at noon on Saturday. Ages 13+, call 444.2702 fmi.

Kennett Square if having First Friday. Ironically the theme is Beach Party, and the weather forecast is for snow. Ok, ok, I know that it’s probably not going to snow down here. If you come to town, please stop in at The Growing Tree. We have gotten in so many neat things this week for girls and for women. All the good names-Seven for all Mankind, Ann Taylor, Chip & Pepper, Laundry by Shelli Segal, Baby Lulu….all at half of retail price or less. There also will be various artists featured at the different stores and it’s just a great opportunity to stay local and have a good time.

If you feel like venturing up to Montgomery county, check out the smartmomsale. This is a big sale and it gets very crowded, get there early if you want good selection.

If you want Chinese take out, order online from PFChang’s, use the codes HOOPS and get 20% off your order-Sat/Sun/Mon.

And, like every other Saturday, join us at the Kennett McDonald’s at 8 am on Saturday if you want to learn the ins & outs of couponing. Lots of deals to discuss this week!
