FRUGAL FAMILY: Get a Shoe Shine in Timonium for $5

The groundhog lied this year.

We haven’t had an early spring.

Here at Patch, our leather winter shoes have taken a beating as we’ve slogged through the wet weather going to and from our cars. How about yours?

With another week calling for rain and even snow, as we usher in April, it’s time to spiff up our boots and our Bucks as we usher in some more unseasonal cold and wet days of early spring.

JR's Leather Shoe Repair to the rescue.

From now until March 31, you can print out a $5 coupon in Clipper Magazine to get your shoes shined. Click here to access the printable coupon.

You can also find an additional 20 percent coupon in Clipper Magazine for any leather repair, also valid until March 31.

JR’s Leather Shoe Repair, at 2023 York Road, has been in business since 1981. The owner, Johnnie Ray "JR" Sauers said, “We fix anything leather. Wallets, baseball gloves, shoes, boots, luggage, briefcases, leather jackets, belts, purses, golf bags. I even fixed a leather bra last week.”

We’re not sure how leather bras stave off the cold, but we sure know that our heaviest-duty shoes are going to be needed for a little while yet. Call JR at 410-560-0046 or just stop in. Make sure you’ve printed out your coupons.

And let’s tell the groundhog to get it right next year.
