Saving Money In St. Louis
On October 24th from 2-4 PM, head to your local Michaels where the kids can join a Free Candy Corn Mason Jar Event! Create these Halloween- inspired mason jars filled with candy corn, plus all the supplies are provided at no cost.
There is no sign up necessary for this event, but consider getting to the store early that day to increase your chance of getting a spot in these usually popular classes.
The Lowe’s FREE Build & Grow Kids Workshops offer free DIY craft kits for your kids each month! While supplies last, hurry over here where you can pre-register your kiddos for a FREE DIY Periscope Kit for your kids, October 9th and 10th.
To keep everyone healthy during Coronavirus, the Build & Grow program is no longer an in-store event – so you’ll just need to stop by the Customer Service desk to score yours. The kits are pre-packaged with everything you need to build the project at home.
