Frugal Family: Free Gas, Deals For Dad

Check in with us every Wednesday for family friendly deals around town. This week check out the deals on FREE gas, FREE generic Allegra and deals for dad.

This week, our Fruglista of Forsyth scoured our local sources to come up with great deals on your very own summer waterslide, gifts for dad and free gas. Also, try generic Allegra free!

1. ALDI

Deal:  Aldi is a grocery store fairly new to the area (12990 Highway 9 North). They do not carry name brand foods, but do have everything a normal grocery store would carry including produce. It is well-known for its low prices that can theoretically cut your grocery bill in half. It is worth checking out if you don’t get hung up on branding.
