If you've been paying attention to the news lately, you don't need us to tell you the economy has seen better days. Hopefully, our new president (congratulations, Mr. Obama) will help get things back on track, but in the meantime, we're here to do our part. This week in Metromix, we explore some of our favorite ways to save some cash during these lean times. To that end, we present some of our favorite free dates, cheap eats, happy hours and drinks specials, thrift stores, fall sample sales, and more.

Also this week, we study the "Science" of rockers TV on the Radio, chat with Paul Rudd about "Role Models," get digital with AFI's latest film fest, dish out some sex advice in Hot & Bothered, and recap our favorite Halloween parties. Check it out in the free print edition of Metromix, available free across L.A., and here on metromix.com.
