Ladies who work or live near Schaumburg may be interested in the (not quite) monthly Girls Night Out at Chandlers. The next event in 2012 will be held on 26 January from 5-9 p.m. Admission and appetizers are free (we always like that word!) and there is a cash bar.
This looks like a fun way to check out fashion, cosmetics, handbags and other female guilty pleasures.
Chandler Chop House is located at 401 N. Roselle Rd. in Schaumburg.

Now that summer is almost over, we need to start thinking about indoor events.¬† What type of event is common in the city and in the ‘burbs?¬† Wine tastings!
If you’ve been wondering how I’ve found out about free wine tastings, here is my secret: LocalWineEvents.com.
Visit the website, choose your state (or country), and then the city. Voila, you have a listing of wine events in that area.  Now, beware that most events are NOT free; some are only a few dollars while others cost more than $100 per person.  (We only list the free or cheap Chicago-area events on the Thriftista calendar.)
This is also good if you are travelling — since it lists places from all over the US, Canada, UK, and other international events, check it out before you hit the road.
This site also lists beer tastings and mixing classes, so it is useful to a wide variety of people.
