    Where and what are the best bulk food stores in LA?

    I plan on moving from Salt Lake City to LA later this year, most likely to the WeHo or Santa Monica neighborhoods. Here in SLC, I love using Winco as my store to bulk up on beans, grains, and more bulk foods at cheap prices. Is there a comparable store near WeHo/Santa Monica in LA? I saw there was a Winco down near Lakewood but I am thinking that will be too far to go to regularly.

    ​

    Thanks in advance!

    How to get grocery vouchers?

    Someone gave me a grocery voucher for 100 dollars that has to be surrendered upon use (you have to spend the full amount). How do you get these vouchers?

    Cheap fabric stores?

    Bought some fabric at hobby lobby (in Burbank I think by Aldi) for way too much— also considering it was cheap quality. 🤯🤯🤯 Not necessarily looking for a cheapo Walmart place, but discounted fabric or art store that offers higher quality fabric.

    Also, if you have fabric to get rid of, send me a DM!

    Affordable vet clinic?

    My 5yo cat needs his teeth looked at and a checkup. New to LA. I live in NW LA but the distance doesn’t really matter.

    There’s a glitch in the McDonald’s app that’s giving a free Bacon Egg and a cheese McMuffin meal with any purchase. Look under the “Deals” tab and click on the free cookie/pie/sundae offer. They even made it for me even though they aren’t offering breakfast right now.
