BargainView: Amazing April!
By Monica Barber
Spring has sprung and brought with it the loveliest of flowers and greenery this year. Much like the bloom of flowers, things are slowly opening back up for enjoyment. Ms M takes in a book paired with an iced coffee outside of Preservation Coffee on a warm afternoon while enjoying the sight of people walking downtown again. There is nothing quite like the sound of a busy downtown on a warm day. With the warmer temperatures, you are certain to step outside more often. Here are a few ways you can get the best bargain for your buck.
The Easter Bunny continues to hop onward and so should you. Enjoy a free drive-thru Easter EGGSPLOSION event hosted by Modesto’s New Life Church on Saturday, April 3rd from 10 am to Noon.
