The weekend starts today. Below are two shopping events happening locally.

--Some retailers at the Grandin Village in Roanoke are springing for a holiday open house today. From 6 to 9 p.m., Village Flowers, New to Me, Too Many Books and Vida Bela will be open longer and each is offering special sales.

--If you’re an elementary or high school teacher, you can save 20 percent on books and gifts and 10 percent on DVDs and CDs for three hours on Saturday. Barnes & Noble at Valley View Mall is hosting an educator discount event from 9 a.m. to noon. It’s for those who teach Pre-K through 12th grades. And you have to present your educator discount card to be eligible for the savings.

Happy shopping and saving!
