Steals+Deals: $5 Guthrie tickets
Plus: Furniture, housewares discounted 70 percent
Furniture, housewares discounted 70 percent Fans of Opitz Outlet might not have discovered its housewares version, the Opitz Lab, aka Paris Flea Market. Instead of designer clothing, it's filled with unique furniture, lamps, art, chandeliers and home decor. Rugs and mirrors are a strong suit. Still a bit of a sleeper sale, only customers on the e-mail list are notified of the occasional sales. Items are slightly flawed or damaged, but discounted 70 to 90 percent. The Lab, which sells non-clothing items for occasional sales, will be open from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 4 to 7 p.m. Monday. Staff cannot help move or load any items. The market is now in its new location at 4838 W. 35th St., St. Louis Park, 952-922-2435.
