Want a deal?

Here are a couple ways to save a dollar or two right here in the cities this weekend and beyond...

Half-Price Books are a good time to pick up bargains, but at its first warehouse sale (2980 N. Cleveland Av., Roseville, 651-639-1703), all merchandise will be $3 or less, including books, paperbacks, children's books, CDs, LPs, books on tape, comics, videos and DVDs. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Franklin Street Bakery (1020 E. Franklin Av., Minneapolis, 612-879-5730, www.franklinstreetbakery.com) decided to lower the price on all of its bread products to 99 cents, including loaves, buns, hoagies, ciabatta, focaccia and others, regularly $2.50 to $3.50.
