Frugal Family: Birthday Breakfast, Free Fitness, Hands-On Relaxation and More

Spring is just around the corner and you can already feel the excitement in the air.  Trees are blossoming, singing birds have become more plentiful and we might even be able to fire up the grill a bit earlier than usual.  No matter the time of the year, we all still have to eat well and exercise to stay healthy, and we've come up with some enticing and delicious opportunities for you.

This week, Frugal Family scoured our local sources to come up with great deals on meals, fitness and services.  Enjoy the bargains and freebies, and if you have any suggestions for us, we'd love to hear about them.
