Frugal Family: Save 15 Percent Off the Whole Enchilada

Patch presents readers with five opportunities to save money this week.

Patch is looking out for families who like a good deal, and that would be most  of us.

Each week, we share five discounts at a variety of businesses nearby and/or free events, so Patch users can save cash on the basics and entertainment. This week's edition includes an idea for families looking to add some value to their homes with new tile.

The name says it all; the Tile Shop at 3628 South Lindbergh has a huge selection of tiles of all types and prices.

Deal: Take 15 percent off your purchase the first time you use a Tile Shop credit card. Save 10 percent for each purchase afterward. The card comes interest-free for the first six months, and tile prices are negotiable.
