I’m a frequent budget flyer. I love Jet Blue and flying out of Long Beach (the easiest and most quaint local airport), and I often take annoying layovers on Southwest so I can earn a free flight. These deals from Virgin rival some of the those other airlines’ best rates and offer higher customer service and perks. I’m tempted to try.
According to Travelzoo Virgin America is having a sale that offers flights out of Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas for $59-$139 each way.
Fly through June 10 for $59-$139 each way. But hurry Read the rest of this entry »

I have only been to Benihana once, but I loved it. The food was good, the ambiance was fun, and I still have my little ceramic Geisha cup.
So I’m really hoping to find a good occasion to splurge and take advantage of the $45 Dinner for Two Special the Japanese restaurant is offering as part of its 45th Anniversary celebration.
The special started yesterday and will run throughout 2009.
Acording to the press release:
“The excitement begins with Benihana’s knife-wielding, theatrical performing chefs preparing and serving a trio of Benihana’s famous tender steak, succulent shrimp and juicy chicken, served with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer, hibachi vegetables, rice and green tea. Blending delicious Japanese dishes with a dazzling chef performance has been Benihana’s recipe for success for almost half a century.”

I have lived 5 minutes from Disneyland most of my life, but over time the once-yearly splurges on a family trip to Disneyland ($20 a person was a ripoff my parents used to say), have turned into a frequent neighborhood park visit.
As kids we had Knott’s Berry farm passes because they were, and still are, way cheaper, but after working for the company for almost four years I just couldn’t let it go. We are lucky that every year for Christmas my mother-in-law gives us money to go toward annual passes to Disneyland. It’s a big splurge, but the whole Mendoza family gets them and we get our money’s worth. Because my husband and I like to upgrade our passes so that we can go on days that would otherwise be blocked out, we are always looking for a way to make the Christmas money stretch.
Below are some of the discounts we have tried and some we are looking into for this year: Read the rest of this entry »
