Delicious lamb kebabs can be found at this hole-in-the-wall in the northern part of Pasadena. Click the menu picture to see the prices. The cook is very nice too. Shish Kebab Express2495 E Washington BlvdPasadena, CA 91104(626) 398-9777 The Fresh & Easy website says that the Alhambra location of this budget grocery chain will open January 14th. 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.

I scoured many [...] Oh dear, the recession has really hit close to home now. I used to be able to get a pretty good milk tea for a $1 from a hole-in-the-wall restaurant called Wan Tai something in the 7-11 plaza on Las Tunas at Mission in San Gabriel. But today my boba was $2! Was I getting [...] You know times are bad when Starbucks starts closing down – 600 shops have been given the boot and 12,000 jobs will be lost, according to LA Observed. Now I am not a big Starbux fan at all, but my sister is – big time, so this post is in honor of her. To soften [...] Whole Foods on Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena has some regular events that might be worth a visit. Now that I am penniless from gas prices, I may just show up with my bowl and best Oliver Twist impression for some recession snacking. From their website: www.wholefoodsmarket.com.
