Books, Movies and Toy Deals
We know everyone likes a good deal, so we decided to find five great deals for families each week. This week we're telling you where to find book, movie and toy deals.
This week’s deals are for books, movies and toys. A few local stores are closing and there are savings opportunities as a result.
But, as some businesses fall, others rise and the grand opening of a business nearby promises savings now and in the future.
There also are deals at local stores that are thriving with the support of the community.
