The Good Life For Less: State Fair Deals

(WCCO) -- It's time for another year at the Great Minnesota Get-Together! That means it's also time to find ways to save money on the midway and other fair locations. Today (08/25) is the last day to get many pre-fair discounts. Check out some of them below.

- Discount admission, Blue Ribbon Bargain Book and ride/game tickets at Cub Foods and greater Minnesota.

- Discount Express Bus Fare ($4, Regularly $5)

If you can't get deals before the fair starts, there are also ways to save when you are out at there.

- Discount Admission Days

- Blue Ribbon Bargain Books ($5)

- Free Entertainment Stages

- You also can't forget about the free talent contest at the Grandstand.

- Booth Freebies (Deals, Drawings, and Giveaways)

You can read some more tips in last year's blog post too.

Have a great time at the fair! And if you see a great deal on something out there, leave a message in the comment section to share it with other 'Good Lifers!'
