Deal: This is rare for Frugal Family, but I tried out a new restaurant over on 196 Massachusetts Ave. that blew me away in terms of value, food and fun. The little diner, Little Q Hot Pot and Szechuan House, offers hot pots – boiling soups in which you order the raw ingredients and cook your meal at your own pace. The food was incredibly cheap, delicious, and my friend and I had so much left over soup from the meal, we were eating in the entire week. Frugal Family rarely picks out a singular restaurant to recommend, but Little Q Hot Pot truly surprised me as one of Arlington's best dining experience in terms of value and taste.

Deal: The Capitol Theatre over on 204 Massachusetts Avenue offers the cheapest movies tickets around. Matinées can go as low as just $6. The Capitol's quaintness also means less crowds.
