Tucson on the Cheap

February 19, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under About Tucson, Tucson Events

Discovered a new Tucson Blog the other day called Tucson on the Cheap, the "local resource for freebies, discounts, and deals in Tucson." With authors like Cheap Chick, I. M. Frugal, and Hortense P. Tightwad, how could I not love this one immediately?

Not only do they provide various discount information, but they’re mentioning a lot of smaller local events – things like the 2nd Annual Carnaval in Tucson coming up this Saturday, which is a free event. 150 drummers at the finale? Brazilian dances? This I may have to see.

But what’s the start of October without Tucson Oktoberfest?

It started last night, but you can still go tonight through Sunday, over to Hi Corbett Field at Reid Park, just south of El Con Mall [...]
