We are fortunate to live in a city rich with art and culture but these experiences rarely come cheap. As a mom wanting to take advantage of these opportunities, I started researching how to accomplish this goal without breaking the bank. Like always, I found that these bargains are often about timing and bulk discounts (buy one get one free). Below, I’ve shared some great opportunities for you to take advantage of.
