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.
