This week, Frugal Family came up with great deals on an e-books, car care, photos and consignment.

Deal: We can all use a little inspiration, and if hitting up Tysons for dinner and a movie is getting a little old, download this book for FREE, thanks to Amazon.

Just download for free the appropriate application to be able to do that.

Good through: Amazon's whim.

2. Wash off winter grime at Vienna's Mr. Wash.

Deal: Print out this coupon for a Super Car Wash for $14 instead of $21
