Ready for the weekend? There's a vintage extravaganza, tax-free shopping, and lots and lots of grilled cheese sandwiches in your near future. Get all the fun details below.

  • Are you ready to see more grilled cheese sandwiches in one place than ever before? Then get yourself to The Grilled Cheese Invitational at Los Angeles Center Studios (1201 W. Fifth St.) Drop $15 — $12 in advance — and you'll get access to more than 30,000 grilled cheese sandwiches. Yes, 30,000. Upon arrival, you'll also be given a sheet of coupons for free samples and a free bottle of water to wash down all that cheesy goodness.
  • For something less cheesy but equally thrilling, hit up Dari (12184 Ventura Blvd., Studio City, 818-762-3274) women's boutique in Studio City because it's slashing the tax right off of any purchase through the end of April. Score trendy clothing and exotic jewelry without the annoying extra fee. Since the words "tax" and "free" aren't usually paired in California, be sure to take advantage of this rare occurrence.
  • Is it me or have vintage shopping opportunities skyrocketed as of late? But no complaints there. This Saturday is DNA's All Vintage Everything sale at Space 15 Twenty (1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd., 323-465-1893). The usual stash — jewelry, shoes, bags, apparel, and other fab accessories — will be ready to rummage. Just be sure to bring lots o' cash.
