It's time to buy cheap ride tickets for the Pima County Fair.
You can get 10 rides for $15 March 25-April 17 at all Fry's grocery stores. At about a 65 percent savings, this is a great deal if you like to go on the carnival rides.
However, the discounted ride tickets are only good on weekdays.
Your kids can also score three free ride tickets by reading three books and filling out a form. Bring that to guest services for ride coupons. Download the forms here.
