If you haven’t heard of Goldstar yet, they are an awesome site that offers discount tickets to events, concerts and performances nationwide. They have a HUGE selection of venues and events to choose from and this is a great way to have a night or afternoon out without breaking the bank.
Here are a few of my favorites available right now:
Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! Get The Sillies Out! at the Paramount Theatre – Tickets as low as $20.38 (Feb 28 or Mar 1)

Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna at King County’s Marymoor Park – Tickets as low as $55.25 (Feb 15 – Mar 15)

Altar Boys at Warren G. Magnuson Park – Tickets just $21.50 (Feb 15 – Mar 10)
My husband and I went to Altar Boyz off-Broadway when we were in New York on our honeymoon and it was hilarious! My husband wasn’t really excited about going, but he really enjoyed it. It is based on a Christian boy band trying to make it big and is such a great parody of the boy band craze of the ’90s.
If you aren’t interested in these events, you can still sign up and receive a weekly email with events in your area. Just enter your email address and zip code and you can easily customize your preferences.

Zaycon Foods has posted all their event dates, times and locations for the upcoming boneless skinless chicken event! You will be able to place an order for 40 pounds of chicken (or more) for just $1.79/lb. I can imagine these will probably sell out, so I would place your order as soon as possible.
This isn’t as low as it’s been in the past, but still a very good price. Zaycon chicken is great quality and really delicious. We have had a great experience every time we have ordered from them.
There are events all across the country, with specific pick-up dates and locations listed. For those not familiar with Zaycon, you just place your order in your city, show up at the posted delivery date and time and they hand you your goods. Crazy easy.
If 40 pounds of chicken sounds like way too much for your family, consider splitting with a friend (or two). My friend Sarah and I have split a few times and it is super easy. The chicken is packaged in four 10 pound bags, which makes it easy to split. I have to be honest though, our family of four can easily go through a full box in between sale dates (sometimes two).
We have 4 super local events (Richland, Kennewick, Pasco and Benton City), all with the delivery date of April 11 and 12, but there are several other events all across Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Thanks for the heads up Coupon Connections!

For the last several months, I (Emilie) have been attending the most amazing “Body Back” boot camp in Seattle. I have been to several boot camps and while all of them gave me a great workout, none were comfortable or affordable enough for me to go back regularly.
Hilary Norcross, the trainer leading the class is encouraging, patient, and TOUGH! I have worked out with men and women at all levels and ages and never have I had such a consistent, intense and results focused class. The way that she interacts with and encourages women right where they are at is just amazing. She somehow challenges every body whether they just ran a marathon or just had their third baby and haven’t worked out in years. She keeps the classes small and is able to work with everybody individually in each class. And…she’s offering a free intro class if you’ve been looking for a fun, safe, and effective place to workout that fits in to a busy schedule.
I have been most thankful for her flexibility. Because of my husband’s CRAZY work schedule that is always changing, I am not able to be super consistent. Because she offers different times/locations and allows me to buy ten classes at a time and use them as I can, it works for our family. And she never gives me a hard time when she hasn’t seen me for a couple weeks. My hope is that my husband gets more consistency at work and I can drop my gym membership and just do Body Back 2-3x a week!
From Hilary:
Join us for your first Body Back class free, presented by Strength In Neutral Fitness, a results based workout program for moms of any age. Workouts are based on full body functional movements done at high-intensity intervals and maximum effort training targeting core muscles with efficient powerful exercises.
Two programs available:
- Kick start your fitness with an 8 week session including before and after assessments, food rehab and/or plan, two HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes per week, and motivational coaching.
- Purchase a class pass and drop in to any class for a complete cardio, strength, and core workout.
Locations & Times
- Monday/Thursday at 7pm at Gift of Grace Church, Wallingford (Seattle)
- Tuesday/Thursday at 6am at Discovery House, Wallingford (Seattle)
- Outdoor summer location: Greenlake (Seattle)
Contact Info for Strength in Neutral Fitness:
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you are planning to join one of the intro classes and I’ll try to meet you there! Tell Hilary that This Beautiful Frugal Life sent you.

I received an email a few days ago that there are still spots available to sign up for the 2013 Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program through Finley’s Fresh Produce out of Hermiston. You can find the current sign-up form and more information at their website.
This is our 3rd year participating and we love the amazingly fresh, local produce delivered to Tri-Cities each week. Choose the amount of shares you would like per week, with a great deal of flexibility in the program. Their prices are extremely reasonable as well.
For more information on the program and how to sign up, read my original post here. If you do decide to sign up, tell them I sent you. I’ve developed a wonderful relationship with John & Chris Finley over the past year and it’s been fun to get their emails telling me someone I referred signed up!

The Seattle Mariners are holding their annual Mariners Fan Fest this coming weekend, January 26th and 27th from 11 AM – 4 PM. Tickets are just $10 and kids 14 and under are FREE.
Fan Fest is SO much fun. This is your chance to check out Safeco Field at its finest. You get to explore areas you would never get to see, including the clubhouse and dugout. You can run around the bases, get autographs, take a zip line across the outfield and much, much more. Totally worth it if you are a Mariners fan.
We went a few years ago and had a fantastic time. I do suggest getting there early, as the lines can get pretty long. Decide what events you most want to take part in and what is most important for you to see and go straight there. It can get packed!
Click here for more information and an upcoming autograph schedule. Dan Wilson and Jay Buhner will be there this year as well!
