Frugal Families: March Madness

March Madness might have a little something to do with basketball, but at Patch.com we like it to be the crazy month where you can score some great deals worth more than those three-pointers Kobe throws in. This week we have a frenzy of deals ranging from eating to sleeping, two things you can do while watching the games. 

Corona del Mar restaurants—Deal: Newport Beach Restaurant Week has come and gone, but those of you who are still holding onto your 20 percent Bounce Back Coupon, don't forget that this is your last week to use it! Until March 13, you can save 20 percent off your food order with that green coupon at Avila's El Ranchito, the Bungalow, the Crow Bar & Kitchen, Five Crowns, Landmark Steakhouse, Mayur Cuisine of India and Port Restaurant & Bar. 

Port Restaurant & Bar—Deal: Tuesday night, in addition to its regular happy hour, Port is promoting Taco Tuesday. Diners can feast on $2 tacos, $6 margaritas and $4 Mexican beers every Tuesday. Muy delicioso!
