Here are a look at a few deals you can find this week for you and your family.  Also, a way to give if being frugal has left you with a few extra dollars to give to some families in need this week.

Certifikid

One of the many deals featured on Certifikid this week is $88 dollars for three hours of home cleaning ( a $175 value).  Maybe this is the deal to SPRING you into that spring cleaning.

Target

Need something to help baby get rid of that winter dry skin? Johnson’s Natural baby care, 9 or 10 oz bottles, 2 for $9!

CVS

You know you have to get diapers, wipes, snacks and anything else for your little one. What if buying all of that got you a free stroller?  When you spend $25 on select baby care products, you get a free umbrella stroller! See site for details.

Rite Aid

Need some batteries to change out the ones in your smoke detectors? We changed the clocks, now it’s time to check those batteries.  If you need new ones, Rite Aid is selling Duracell Coppertop batteries AA and AAA 20 packs for $9.99.

American Red Cross

If this column, or your own frugal habits have made it so you can give to those in need, consider donating to the American Red Cross as they send help to victims of the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami.
