The O.C. Bargainista:

Mmmmm. Fro-yo. The ever-present Pinkberry is having a (not-so) secret Mad About Mango party from 5 to 9 tonight to celebrate its newest flavor. Stop by for a free 3-ounce sample, and try your hand at giveaways. For more information, visit pinkberry.compinkberry.com.

Scratch those full prices

If you still prefer a turntable to an iPod, Sound Trolley Records, 440 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa, is liquidating its record collection — with the entire store 50% off. Many records are 50 cents each. The store also has CDs and tapes. For more information, call (949) 642-4846.

Travel-friendly clothing

Like comfortable, travel-friendly women’s clothing? Hit the Allen Allen warehouse sale from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at 2323 Main St., Irvine, where you’ll save up to 75% on overstock clothing, including hoodies and tops.

Don’t miss out on boutiquing

And a final reminder: Be sure to attend the Boutiquing.com sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Park Privé, 1570 Scenic Drive, Costa Mesa, where 30 boutiques will offer ridiculous discounts on beautiful clothing. $10 entry fee.

Say goodbye with good deals

We’re bummed. The Martin+Osa brand will soon cease to exist, and its store at Fashion Island, which specializes in tailored, sophisticated clothing for the young yuppie demographic, will close. It’s owned by American Eagle. The upside: There may be a great going-out-of-business sale over the next few months, so keep your eyes peeled.

The secret race starts ... now!

Getting ready to tie the knot, but still in need of a no-tailoring-required gown? Shhh … keep it secret, but David’s Bridal’s $99 gown sale is on. For more information visit davidsbridal.com.
