The O.C. Bargainista:

***FOR THE RECORD: Contrary to what was reported in Friday’s The O.C. Bargainista shopping column about the Beverly Hills Mattress Co., at 435 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa, the store is “absolutely” staying in business, said owner Mark Trudell.****

In a last-minute Valentine’s Day frenzy? Worry not. Cirque du Soleil has come to your rescue, with a Sunday special: Buy one ticket to their spectacular “KOOZA” show at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, and get the second one free; this offer is good for Valentine’s Day only.
