Living Social Family-Friendly Local Deal: Medieval Times in Lyndhurst

Living Social has a deal posted for Medieval Times, in Lyndhurst, which sounds like a really fun kids activity. I am thinking about buying tickets for us. I've actually never been to a Medieval Times, but have heard good things.

Get an adult ticket to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Lyndhurst for $39 ($67 value), or pay $27 ($41 value) for a child's ticket. (Price includes all taxes and fees.) Watch and eat from your seat as the drama of the royal court unfolds around you. You'll take in jousting, romance, dancing, and more in a grand setting fashioned as an 11th century Spanish castle while enjoying a traditional dinner feast of oven-roasted chicken, herb-roasted potatoes, tomato bisque soup, garlic bread, spare ribs, and a pastry, plus two rounds of soft drinks, coffee, or tea.

20% off at the Christmas Tree Shoppes

Yay! I love the Christmas Tree Shop. There is one right in the Rockaway Mall parking lot. You can find great deals on things that didn't sell well at their sister store, Bed Bath and Beyond. Comforters, curtains, window shades, picture frames and more. This store also includes a Harmon's beauty product area. I have found good deals on toys, as well as party supplies here.

Here's an awesome, 20% off your total purchase coupon.

A Few Local Deals for Halloween Goodies

If you're still in the market for some Halloween candy, here are the deals I thought were the least scary!

ShopRite

• ShopRite (in-ad coupon 3/$5 for Hershey's). You can combine it with the $1.50 off 2 bags coupon from the Sunday 10/16 SmartSource coupons. This makes each fun size bag just $1.16!

Walgreens

• Hershey's, Mars or Nestle snack-sized bags are $1.99 with in-ad coupon, which you can pick up in the store. You can do a little better on this by using a coupon from Sunday 10/16 Redplum coupon insert or by going here or here and printing. As low as $1.49 each after coupon.
• Small, individual Halloween goodie bags are available at $.99 for 20, no coupon required.

Party City

• If you're looking for a festive way to store your candy, you can pick up a cool witch's cauldron on sale for 50% off and the large, 12" cauldron is under $5.
• You can print a coupon for $10 off 50, $20 off $75 or $30 off $100 here.

KMart $.99 Summer Clearance Sale

It's definitely worth mentioning that KMart has $.99 racks up in the store, with summer clothing.

In the Parsippany store, there was a good selection of kids shorts and t-shirts. There were cute tank tops and t-shirts, as well as plaid and denim shorts. I also saw some cute athletic/running shorts.

I picked up around 5 t-shirts and several pairs of shorts for both of my kids.

It's a great time to stock up for next year. For this price, you can stock up on play shirts.

A few other deals I saw as I shopped:
- Halloween costumes are 50% off
- My store had LED Princess nightlights on final clearance for $7, which could be cute Christmas stocking stuffers

Haunted House at the Willowbrook Mall (and Coupon!)

Phantasmal Haunt is located at the Willowbrook Mall, outside the Sears wing, by the Food Court. It's open now through October 31.


Their description states, "Phantasmal Haunt was inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Clive Barker, and Mary Shelly. Its creators are less prone to implement chainsaws for frights, but instead to weave an intricate web of dark delights aimed steal your sleep." 


From the looks of it, I'd say this is not for young kids. I hope to get there one day soon, after which I will post my review.


Here's a $1 off coupon for you!

Wed-Fri 4pm-10pm
Sat-Sun 12pm-10pm

Imagine That! Thursday Deal $5/Person Admission

Follow the link below to print out a coupon for admission on 5/12 for $5 for adults and $5 for each child. Normal admission is $9.95 for each child and $7.95 for each adult, so this is a nice savings!

This museum is located on Vreeland Road in Florham Park and museum doesn't aptly describe it.

 It's an interactive, creative learning space that basically encompasses everything kids love in one space. 

 Real cars (like the ones in your driveway) to climb in and out of, a playhouse replete with a garden that can be worked on, a large train, a painting area with smocks, easels and huge cups of paint, a music room with a variety of triangles and other easy-to-use instruments and a decent sized boat that the kids can climb on. There are more, but these are the things that come to mind.

This is not an overly glossy place - it's a bit worn looking, but for good reason - everything there is touchable and amusing for kids. It's definitely worth a trip if you haven't checked it out, yet.

Pathmark Doubles $2 coupons to $4 this weekend!

I am a lapsed couponer, who has recently re-discovered religion.  This is not a couponing blog, it's more of a general deal blog, so I don't want to get into the ins and outs of coupons.

If you need a guide to couponing, try Living Rich with Coupons, which also provides coupon matchups by store, so you get the most bang for your coupon buck.

Pathmark is doing some crazy things lately and it's worth it to dig out your scissors and grab a circular.  This weekend they will double coupons up to and including $2 for up to 20 coupons per day.  So, conceivably, you could save $2 coupon (doubled)  = $4 x 20 coupons = $80/day.  This is great for cosmetics, since a lot of those coupons are higher value (dig through your magazines and circulars, if you have them).  '

I got free Bic razors, Pantene for around $.60 and free Motrin PM today, along with some other stuff.
