The holidays are just ahead and the extra pinch in the pocket this year can be painful,but the Orcas Senior Center Coupon Book lets you both save and give whatever your budget.

A kale plant,or a big bouquet, candles or a second hand turkey platter, your purchase of a $20 coupon book opens the door to discounts across the island and soon pays for itself.

In the spirit of the season you are giving local businesses a lift and you are supporting services for seniors at a time when other funds are being curtailed.

Can you think of a useful,practical ,valuable gift for $20? The Coupon Book is all three and is already gift wrapped . Every coupon is valid until June 2012 so your gift will be long remembered as well.

Look for the Senior Center table at Island Market on Saturday,November 19. Coupon books will be on sale from 1-3 p.m. .and it’s a great time to use the Island Market 10% discount for Thanksgiving.
