What’s better than good eats? Good eats at a discounted price! I’m not talking about a cheap imitation that leaves you questioning what did you just eat. I’m talking about dining at the same exact restaurant at a lower cost. What’s the secret? Restaurant.com! Restaurant.com has an extensive list of reputable causal to mid-price restaurants willing to offer their regular priced item at an overall discount.

How does it work? Restaurant.com clearly lists when you purchase a card for $30, it’s worth (say) $75. That’s a saving of 60%! Comparable to Groupon but with wider selection. But do note the fine print. Some restaurants list that the offer is only valid for dine in or there is an additional 18% required gratuity. It’s a small price to pay for such a great offer.

I’m one that believes just because the economy is tightening up, it doesn’t mean our palettes has to suffer.

It’s no secret that everything in life is sweeter when it’s free. Bon appétit!

No other words to describe it. It’s an “Amazing Sample Sale!” Featuring one of my favorite boutique designers, iheartkayden. If you’re looking for unique designs at a fantastic savings, this is the place to be. Only catch, it’s cash only so be sure to stop by an ATM before arriving there. You will need cash.

Time: Saturday April 24th & Sunday April 25th 10am - 6pm
Address: 1071 Laurel Way Beverly Hills CA

Happy Shopping Fashionistas!

It’s time to indulge in luxury. Sweet, serene, self-indulgent luxury. It’s time for SpaFinder’s Annual National $50 Spa Treatment promotion. During the week of March 8-14th, Spas listed in SpaFinder’s directory list 2 of their most popular spa treatments for only $50! Looking to try out a new treatment? Looking to try out a new neighborhood spa? This is prime opportunity to indulge at a discount. SpaFinder has a wide selection of Spas in your area. For example I entered my home Zip Code 90503 and SpaFinder returned 73 locations. Given that some of their Spa location results are too far for my taste, there is still an extensive location list to choose from. Treatments vary from European facials to Mani/Pedis to Swedish massages to Microdermabrasion. All these wonderful treatments for only $50. There’s something for every woman or man. If you’re looking for a little self-indulgence, look no further.

I must insist one thing, if your Masseuse did a stellar job then when you tip, be kind and tip based upon pre-promo rate.

Hurry and call your nearest Spa! Appointments are limited and it’s first come, first serve. If you miss this wonderful opportunity from SpaFinder, you’ll have to wait another year.

Savvy shopper? Yes we are! Summer is prime traveling season which means, high demand and high expense. I don’t know about you but I’m watching every penny going out of my wallet. I will admit, I have a weakness for cute purses, shoes, shirts, dresses, and everything else I can’t seem to live without. But a penny saved is still a penny saved.

As I’m scouting for Summer airfares, I’ve discovered this really nifty website Functravel. Functravel essentially compares multiple airlines airfare cost depending on your flight date and airports. Nothing special right? Here’s the kicker. If you check the “Low Fare Graph” and select the flight months, Functravel will produce an average airfare price for the selected flight period. Now you know what’s the average price for the flight there and back and the price of the surrounding days. This is perfect for those travelers who have a bit of flexibility and looking to save money.

Not ready to commit but know exactly where you would like to fly? Functravel has a TravelAgent alert tool. TravelAgent sends you a daily or weekly (you set the preference) email alerting you if they found airfare that matches your specifications. That’s right, you tell TravelAgent where you want to go, what date range you would like to travel, what’s the max budget and they do all the searching for you. Free travel concierge? That’s right.

I love it when technology does all the foot work for me. Now this leaves me more time to search for what I really love, like those new shoes…

Heard of Groupon? If you haven’t yet, you will soon. It’s a completely viral social discount network. But I’m not talking about a measly 10-30% off retail price, I’m talking about an average of 40-60% off of retail price. They’ve got awesome deals for over 48 major metropolitan so I’m sure you’ll find a city near you. But keep in mind, these deals are easy come and easy go. These fabulous deals are typically available between 1 - 3 days only. So make your move quickly or bye-bye savings. Personally I’ve let a couple awesome deals slip through my fingers (and I’ve only been a member for less than 1 month).

A sample of fabulous deals for the Los Angeles city:
$94 for Hot-Air-Balloon Ride and Picnic With Sunrise Balloon
$45 Cooking Class at Chefs, Inc. (Up to $95 Value)
$50 for a Trio of Rejuvenating Treatments at Lux Aveda Salon/Spa ($188 Value)

How does Groupon work? It’s all explained in this short video

Join Groupon now and be in the in-network. They’ll email you each time a new deal is on so you wont miss a beat.

Best of all, there is this awesome cat that lounges on a cloud with random daily trivia. I love it.

In LA, we have our own food culture. We’re blessed with a wide range of food genres and food price ranges. In the past year and a half we’ve seen a surge of pop food trucks. Kogi, Nom Nom, CoolHaus, and the Grilled Cheese Truck sound familiar? Unless you’ve been living under a rock in LA, you must have seen, heard, or experienced these LA exclusive delicacies.

Finally! Someone had the awesome idea to round up the essence of LA street food. Next Saturday, in Downtown Los Angeles we’re having our first LA Street Food Fest.
