Drastic Deals for Gloss, Marty's and...Steampunk?

Family-friendly discounts around town this week.

What's that? The sound of End of School draining your wallet dry? Fear not. There are some money-savers out there, and we've dug up five for you, including an all-American offer on furniture (recliner for Dad's Day, anyone?) and a pretty hefty grand opening special from the brand spankin' new Gloss Spa on Main Street. Plus there's always the Local Etsy Deal. (Isn't it about time you owned a fascinator?)
 
(As always, remember to check with merchants for additional conditions.)
 
Don’t forget you're part of this column too. Let us hear about deals you've seen. Just add them to our comment box, at the bottom of this page. Then come back each week and see what we’ve uncovered together.



Deal: It might not be sweater weather, but it is delicate-sundresses-made-of-dry-clean-only weather. Drop off your frillies and the usual button-downs/blouses at Sparkle Cleaners in Wakefield (at the Main St.-North Ave. Jiffy Lube intersection), and as long as you pay at drop-off, you get 20 percent off your entire order.

Good through: No expiration currently

Gloss

Deal: That new Gloss spa over on Main (at the intersection with Franklin) sure has added a bit more minimalist pizzazz to the city. Check out the all-white Choi & White–designed salon in person and take advantage of the 20 percent grand opening special while you're at it. The discount is good on any of the services, from herbal pedicures to waxing. You can even (wait for it) book online.

Good through: June 30

Deal: Well, it is about dang time an Indian buffet rolled into town, or at least right near town. Stoneham mainstay Rang recently introduced a lunchtime buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Imagine: Serving dishes upon serving dishes overflowing with chicken tikka masala, navratan korma and kabuli chana. For $9.95, you can easily eat two, maybe three meals' worth. This one's a no-brainer.

Deal: So, you may have missed the Open House at Marty's Furniture this weekend. Yet! The deal lives on until 5 p.m. tonight (Monday the 13th). Take advantage of the past weekend's special offers, including sale prices with no tax, a $25 gas gift card with purchases over $499, no-interest financing and the chance to win a pair of Sox tickets. But, you know, hurry.

I Am Joolienn

Local Etsy Deal: This week's highlighted Etsy shop comes to us from nearby Somerville. I Am Joolienn is brimming with fantastically colorful and upcycled creations, from feather fascinators reminiscent of the ones we witnessed at the recent royal wedding to honest-to-goodness steampunk bustles. And then there's the eye-popping skirt and chokers.  Simply enter PATCH10 when ordering for a very tidy 10 percent discount.
