Hi, it’s me, Marla Jo, your columnist and deals maven. Check out my Cheapo Travel column in the Sunday Travel section. You can also find me at Deals Diva on Facebook and Twitter. And don’t forget to read my humor columns on Wednesdays in the Register. If you want furniture and accessories without the high price, check out the three O.C. showrooms of World Plus Consignments, where you can buy or sell gently used, upscale furniture and accessories collected from factory and showroom samples, model homes, closeouts and private homes. Lots of name brands. There are two locations in Fountain Valley and one in Irvine. You’ll like this half-price deal in San Diego that’s good for all of February. Stop by a Macy’s store in San Diego, Temecula or Imperial Valley and get a San Diego Museum Month pass. You can use that to get half price admission for up to four guests per visit at more than 40 of the city’s museums. This includes the Air & Space Museum, USS Midway and more. This is good Wednesday through Feb. 28, so head on down.
If you eat at Romano’s Macaroni Grill, you definitely want to sign up for their email club, because they consistently send out money-saving coupons. I just got an email offering $10 off $30 spent this weekend. And, just for joining, you get $5 off your next meal. Now, here’s a deal that makes the drive to Carlsbad worthwhile – Buy one Legoland ticket for $25 off, and get a second day to use any time by May 25. Adults are $88, kids are $82. You must buy online in advance. /california Did you know you can get married at an Orange County courthouse for only $100, including the historic Old County Courthouse in Santa Ana? A public marriage license costs $61, a confidential one is $66, and a civil ceremony is $28. And they’re adding an extra hour of service in case you want to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day. You can get married in Fullerton, Laguna Hills or Santa Ana. (Note: You can get a marriage license in Westminster, but they don’t perform ceremonies there.) There’s a free preview of BBC America (Ch. 135) underway now until March 15.
I like to record shows and then play them back at my leisure. See these and more at FreePreview.TV If you’ve considered booking a trip with Intrepid Travel, you only have to put down a $1 initial deposit if you book before Tuesday. I’m not a fan of package tours, but this company specializes in small groups that put you directly in contact with local people. They don’t just toss you on a bus and schlep you around. And they offer good family adventures, too. If you can’t live without pie, maybe you want to stop by Marie Callender’s, because the restaurant chain is holding its annual Whole Pie To Go sale right now until Feb. 28. You can choose from 30 pie varieties for $8.49, plus tin fee. Sadly, this doesn’t include cheesecake or fresh fruit pies. Then pay an extra visit to the gym, but maybe it’s worth it. I want to remind you that Tuesday is the last day that sworn law enforcement or firefighters can get in free to Knotts Berry Farm under the theme park’s annual promotion.
Each of these includes one free guest, and you can buy discounted tickets for others as well. Knotts offers this freebie as a thank you, and also to get guests into the park at a traditionally slow time, so go and enjoy.
