I’ve been meaning to blog about Burrito Kingdom in Alhambra, CA, the place where I go for my carnitas taco fix. I’ve been to this place many, many times, and I am in love with their carnitas taco, which is juicy and spicy (with salsa) and always tasty. I have not tried many other things [...] At Whole Foods on Arroyo Parkway, you can get a 2 taco plate with rice and beans for $5.29 (or thereabouts) at the 2nd floor restaurant. That’s a pretty good deal for Whole Foods. The plate was good too, not exactly savory, but good in a healthy, filling way. I suppose if you slather it [...] I visited the new Fresh & Easy in Alhambra on Sunday. It was hopping! I think Fresh & Easy has hit pay dirt with this location, which is across the way from Target, and in an area that needed a grocery store. The store is large and has more product variety than I thought it [...] Eat at upscale restaurants at "budget" prix-fixe prices during dineLA’s Restaurant Week.

I’m curious about this British-owned market, which seems to be a cross of Trader Joes and Aldi markets. Supposedly Fresh & Easy has fresh foods at low prices and a happening ready-made aisle. We shall see! [...] Much media attention lately has been focused on budget ways to have fun and get by. Take at look at this LA Times series of well-known designers, such as Philippe Starck, shopping at Big Lots and coming up with great looks: Starck and the other designers emphasize finding simple and basic items and steering clear [...] It’s been a while since I’ve posted in the Salad Spotting category. I just found about this great-sounding deal at Whole Foods – $7.99 for a make your own salad. Normally the Whole Foods salad bar can run your bill if you’re not careful with how many heavy tomatoes you throw in, but it looks [...] I stumbled upon a $5.40 super treat while in K-town today. At Han Kook market when you enter, the restaurant to the right has delicious mussels in a white creamy sauce sprinkled with orange fish eggs and chives (excuse my non-foodie language, I really don’t know the names for these things). It’s similar to a [...] I read somewhere that one way to be environmentally conscious is to buy recycled clothes, as in thrift store shopping.
