Once again, it’s time for the Cheap Issue! This issue is especially big for City Pulse because it is not only our 16th anniversary, but it’s an opportunity to give our readers and advertisers some of the best deals in town! How do we do that? Advertisers who include a coupon get 50 percent off our rates. This means that readers can earn a lot of savings just by flipping through our pages. Not only that, our stories in the Cheap Section are geared toward saving you cash and letting you in on some of our favorite spots for thrift.
Our special theme this year is also Lansing by Day and Lansing by Night. We realize that the City of Lansing and the surrounding metro area is a place filled with tons of great daily deals and a bunch of nightlife, but that information isn’t always accessible in one place. That’s why this year, we decided to bring you a list of 25 unique deals you can find in your everyday travels around Lansing and 25 deals for nights out. This list is definitely not an exhaustive list, but it’s a great start to help you save, no matter where you are in town.
From us to you, enjoy!
