What is LA Decostified?

Los Angeles is a city known for glitz and glamour! Everywhere you look there are fancy cars, expensive bars, and people living the high life! It’s also a city of starving artists, aspiring actors, and young people working thankless jobs to get ahead. With our country deep in recession it’s getting harder and harder to live the LA lifestyle we’re all searching for.

That’s where we come in!

LA Decostified is your one stop destination for everything budget friendly in Los Angeles! We spend every day searching for the best happy hour specials, one time deals, and free stuff in LA. We’re constantly updating our site with everything you need to keep yourself fed, entertained, and still have plenty left over to pay the rent!

Who is LA Decostified?

LA Decostified is run by Danit Zivan and Paul Cantillon. Danit and Paul moved to Los Angeles in September 2008. After a few months of job hunting without any luck they began to find it difficult to go out with friends and eat healthy. Frustrated with their financial situation the two started searching for ways to go back to the life they had without selling their organs on the black market. In January 2009 they decided to start a blog to share their finds with friends and LA Decostified was born!

What started as a hobby has now grown to be a vital resource for nearly 1,000 budget conscious readers a week and growing! LA Decostified now includes exclusive giveaways and has been featured in Not For Tourists Ultimate Web Index.
