Patronize our local vendors and save money at the same time, simply by buying a $1.50 bag from the Saratoga Springs Downtown Business Association. This red, reusable nonwoven tote made from recycled material nets you 20 percent off any one item at participating businesses, on three special shopping days.

This season’s Bag Day Shopping Sprees will be Dec. 8, Jan. 19, and Feb. 16. Shoppers may buy the bags beginning the day of the Victorian Streetwalk: Nov. 29.
