Save on Turkeys, Toys and Santa Portraits

This week's deals include holiday specialties such as Thanksgiving meals, portraits with Santa Claus, holiday card printing and toys.

While Thanksgiving meals have gotten a little more expensive this year, using the coupons below to save $10 on turkeys can make the upcoming holdiay feast a little more palatable. 

Price-concsious consumers will also enjoy shaving the cost off other seasonal specialties, such as cards, toys and portraits with Santa Claus. Also included is a deal on a drop-in art studio where children can let their imaginations roam free, and perhaps even craft a few creative gifts for some lucky family members.
