Today is Bargain Friday -- here are some great deals I've recently spotted, found or happened upon that I thought worth sharing:

SPLASH LAGOON MOMMY-AND-ME DEAL
In case you missed it in yesterday's Showcase section, the Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park's Mommy-and-Me (or Daddy-and-me) deal is BACK! On Mondays & Thursdays, one adult gets in free with a paid child's admission ($16). Additional children are just $10.

As a Mommy with Mondays off and two bored preschoolers (who also happen to be excellent swimmers), I couldn't be more thrilled! For anyone who's gone there and paid regular admission of $25 per person (adult or child), you know this is a bargain and one the Cass girls will be taking advantage of several times to chase away the winter blues!

YORK PHOTO
Long a devotee of Clubphoto.com, I got irritated recently when they never ran a Christmas special to order prints at a cheaper price -- and I'm not paying the regular 15 cents-a-print price, I went looking for a better deal. Happened to hear from a Web friend about yorkphoto.com who were offering a special for 2 cent prints (yes, 2 cents). Now, I know what you're thinking -- was shipping $9? Nope. $2.99! I ordered over 150 photos for $25 -- and that included a CD of the images and index prints. I got my order yesterday and the photo quality is at least as good as ClubPhoto and I paid a 1/4 of the price.

The 2 cent deal is expired now, but they're running a special for 8 cents-a-print which is half of what most other processors charge.

J.C.PENNEY's WINTER GEAR
J.C.Penney's is having a sweet winter sale -- in store and online. I just ordered a suede brown barn coat in petite (do you have any idea how hard it is to find coats -- at a reasonable price -- in petite sizes?) for $30!

Happy shopping!
