New Patch Deals: Local Discounts on Restaurants, Learning

You need something, you want to buy local and you need to save money. Patch Deals continues to be the place to help you fill a need, buy local and save the money — the "the big three" of patronizing local merchants for goods, services and experiences.

Patch Deals is the truly hyperlocal tool that allows you to save up to 90 percent on local products and services from some of the best businesses in the area. Unlike some other coupon services, these are the businesses you patronize. No sandwich deals in Trenton or tire rotation in Mahway. These are the Union County businesses (or very close by) that you patronize, so come and find your deals.

This week's deals, which expire on Sunday, include:

* A $15 coupon that gets you $30 worth of food at s in Westfield. The local eatery is known for its massive salad bar that features more than 100 options of greens, fruits, veggies, meats and cheeses. Grab this deal so you can grab a healthy lunch the next time you are downtown.

* A learning assessment for a struggling student that's half the price. For $149 you can get a learning assessment at Learning Rx, which is a $299 value. The offer is valid at locations in Short Hills, Chester, Florham Park, Livingston, Montclair and Warren. The cognitive skills test is for children with reading, memory or test-taking problems and can help you discover the reasons behind these learning struggles.

It never hurts to be ahead of the game, so sign up for Patch Deal alerts. Simply go to your profile and find the "Notifications Settings" on the left rail; once you click on "Patch Deals," all the discounts will be sent to your inbox. Or, just sign up for the daily newsletter to view the deals.
