Suzanne O’Connor’s Bargains LA

Left Coast Wine Bar & Gallery

Eating in all the time has it’s rewards. Family time, new recipes, money savings and so on. Enjoying an evening glass of wine on my front porch also is cool. But too much of the same old thing dictates a change. I just had to get out this last weekend. Problem was I had already eaten and we didn’t want to drop $80 on a night out. So we went shopping for a local Wine Bar.

Rewards for Hard Work

Our daughter had had a really stressful, exhausting week with her High School Choir rehearsals & performances along with a slew of other responsibilities. With her full workload she still managed to get A’s in all her classes. It was time to give her a reward for all her hard work. So last Friday I took her out of school, letting her sleep in late and then took her shopping.

Warehouse Sale Shopping Tips

Okay chitlins, the biggest Sample / Warehouse Sale Season of the year has officially started. From mid-October to mid-December more Sample and Warehouse Sales happen that at any other time of year.

Trader Joes Fun

Call me old fashioned (not!) but I love my Fearless Flyer from Trader Joes.

Back in the day I would ravenously read it after picking it up in-store. I was the one in the wine aisle leaning over the empty cart reading it cover to cover looking for new buys, deals, recipes or tidbits of information.

Thrift Store Fun

I love to go to thrift and junk stores. Digging and exploring are in my genes! I have a few regular pop in stores I like to haunt. Some I’ve scored some real steals at. But not all thrift stores are created equally.
