Bargain Groceries Galore
12.04.15
So we had to experience the new Grocery Outlet Bargain Market at the Costa Mesa Courtyards ourselves this morning and here’s what we discovered: it’s no Bristol Farms, but you can save on some premium products and the checkers are big on shouting out to everyone how much you saved! On your receipt, the amount you saved will be printed out—the cost difference had you shopped at another market.
We bought a giant bottle of sulfate free EO Essentials Shampoo for just $7.99! (Suddenly, sulfates are like gluten, and no one wants anything to do with them. Plus, you’ll pay a premium to avoid sulfates.) That same 32 oz. bottle costs $23 on Amazon.
Grocery Outlet has what you’d expect from a grocery store—dairy, meats, produce, beer, wine and much more--and they advertise that you’ll save 40-70% on average. And, here’s the thing, bargains will go fast, so if you like something, stock up.
On Saturday, December 5, Grocery Outlet will celebrate its grand opening with all kinds of specials and hoopla. Starting at 8 a.m. they are giving out free reusable bags to the first 500 customers, free coffee and treats; from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. you can spin a wheel to win bargains; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. $1 hot dogs and drinks; and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. free face painting, balloons, and shoppers can play “magic cart” and win every 30 minutes. And, the first 100 families will win a free Jamestown Bone-In Spiral Half Ham.
You can find out more about Grocery Outlet, and get their current specials here.
Open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. 1835 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa. 949.642.5800.

LAX is Happening Dining, Shopping and Beauty
12.04.15
If you haven’t been to the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX lately, you are in for a world-class shopping, dining and now beauty experience. As part of LAX’s multi-billion dollar modernization program, the terminal has added premium dining options like never before—think Petrossian Caviar & Champagne Bar, chef Suzanne Goin’s Larder at Tavern, and the modern and prime steakhouse, III Forks Steakhouse.
In the TBI Terminal alone, there are 24 dining and beverage options to choose from. And the designer boutiques are more luxury shopping center norms, than standard airport terminal shops--choose from Coach, Bvlgari, Emporio Armani, Hugo Boss and Tumi and many more.
LAX is also catering to travelers who love top-of-the-line beauty, lifestyle and pampering services.
Some of the newest additions include XpresSpa and Be Relax, two spots to relax and enjoy massages, manicures, pedicures and facials. There’s a Bliss shop that carries the sought-after complete collection of Bliss spa products like its cult-following triple oxygen energizing serum and fatgirlslim line, as well as face masks, lotions and skincare.
Beauty and fragrance enthusiasts will just love DFS LAX where you can shop from the beauty counters to find exclusive promotions and products from the top beauty and fragrance brands internationally. You can become a DFS Loyal T member and receive extra benefits. DFS carries more than 700 brands such as Chanel, La Mer, Kiehls and Jo Malone, as well as DFS LAX exclusives from Estee Lauder, Guerlain, Christian Dior Fragrances and L’Occitane.
Fred Segal is also represented at LAX with a curated selection for the international traveler looking for men's and women's apparel, jewelry, beauty products, books, art and accessories. It’s a great stop for gifts on-the-go and the place to get your shopping therapy.
And, a little know fact, as long as you have a boarding pass, you can take advantage of the restaurants, shopping and beauty services at Tom Bradley International Terminal.
1 World Way in Los Angeles.
