Hey there! It’s Darian

I started this platform during my time as a student-athlete playing baseball at Westmont College. Between rigorous training, classes, and living on a tight college budget in Santa Barbara, eating well without draining my bank account quickly became a top priority. Every week, grocery runs turned into an analytical challenge of tracking circulars, comparing prices across town, and finding ways to maximize nutritional value for every dollar.

Over time, I realized just how much money you can actually save once you know where to look. At the same time, because I loved going out to eat and exploring the local food scene, I started tracking restaurant promotions, weekday lunch discounts, and happy hours across town.

Now, having recently graduated from Westmont, I built SB Food Deals to give that playbook back to our local community. Every week, I track down and verify the best dining promotions, grocery markdowns, and hidden deals so you can eat well across the South Coast while keeping more money in your pocket.
