Suzanne O’Connor’s Bargains LA

A Visit to LACMA

After steam cleaning my hardwood floors and writing an article on Sunday morning, Webdude suggested we get out of the house for some R & R. We headed out to LACMA, dragging our teenager kid with us for 3 hours of art immersion

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.

The New Hollywood Piano & Hollywood Sheet Music

Instead of spending our time researching sources or handling what life threw at us, last Friday night Kevin and I went to the Hollywood Piano Grand Re-opening. We enjoyed stellar vocal and piano performances by known Broadway performers and composers. It was one of the best evenings out ever. Really!

But what I learned that night was how extensive Hollywood Pianos reach is in the community.

Fathers Day Fun

When hubby said he wanted to do something different for Fathers Day. I jumped on it. Honestly how many brunches can you go to? How many wallets, electric tools, BBQ, clothes or electronic gadgets to you really need? I was looking for something a bit different.

So I started looking around… Fishing? Theater tickets? Movie? Hmmm. Then, it hit me.
We went to El Cid for both a meal and some Flamenco dancing

Country Antique Fair Mall

This last weekend, our kid had some tickets to Magic Mountain. Wrangling a couple other kids & parents together only left us with the responsibility of pick up at the end of the day.

Out in Saugus is one of our favorite antique/ bric a brac haunts, Country Antique Fair Mall. We’ve been haunting this place for the last 15 years

Your Car, Our Driver

Unless you have money to burn, you can’t afford to have your evening out end in a DUI arrest or a traffic ticket. Before you go out and have a raging time, think about the safety of yourself and those on the road with you. Hard to do when you’re throwing back shots.

That’s where “Your Car, Our Driver” comes in.

Weekend Musings

Busy weekend with us tracking iPhone App numbers, doing a sale segment at KFWB with Bob McCormick, discovering a new travel iPhone app, Trader Joes deals and recipes, Barneys Sale, Beatles Monoploy and a trip to the ER…. Never a dull moment over here.

NBC4 Valentine Day Gift Sources

Today on NBC 4 Today in L. A. I showed some fun bargain buys for Valentines Day giving. Great deals on entertainment, a night out, fragrances, and gifts.

You can also view video if you missed it.

Eating Out

We love to eat out… really. For years we didn’t eat out at all. We were struggling new parents. Then for a while we could afford it and went out a lot. But now we ‘re tightening up our spending again. We have become spoiled and it’s been harder now to cut back this time on something we really love to do

Disneyland, Here We Come!

Okay so what do you do when your entire family seriously needs a getaway and you have limited time and funds… Go to Disneyland.

Where else can you go to get some real Fantasyland?
