Our Favorite Deals

• Woodman's Food Market is a grocery store with great selection and good prices (most everything is cheaper than Pick 'N Save anyway).  There is one just off of Highway 45 at the WI-145 exit.  They accept EBT, checks & debit but not credit cards.
• Aldi's has really good prices but limited selection.  Also no credit cards.  You need a quarter for the shopping cart.
• Your child can read OR listen to books to participate in the Summer Reading Program at the library to receive a packet of prizes, that includes a pass to the Milwaukee County Zoo and a free ticket to a Milwaukee Brewer's game.  
• If you have a .edu email address you are eligible for 6 free months of Amazon Prime through Amazon Student.
• American Express Delta card is a good card for earning free miles (and 1 free checked bag per person traveling with you--up to 9).
• Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay is a fun little amusement park with no admission charge and parking is free.  Buy tickets for $0.25 each.  Rides cost 1 to 2 tickets.
• Groupon--if you've never tried it, check it out. 
• Grow live herbs:  fresher, cheaper and last a lot longer.  (I can never use all of a bunch of cilantro before it goes bad.) 
• Check out babysteals.com, kidsteals.com or scrapbooksteals.com for great deals.
• The Splash Pads and Wading Pools in the Milwaukee County Parks system are all free.  Great summer activity for the kids!  Check out the locations & hours for wading pools here and splash pads here.
