Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: A witty, smart woman's guide to being thrifty and fabulous. Today's woman may be struggling with her volatile financial state, but she shouldn't bite one well-manicured nail with worry. Sure the Dow goes up and down, housing prices boom and bust, but living well never goes out of style. Let Roz Hoffman be your guide for how to spend your precious pennies, as she dishes up the wisdom women need to get perfect style--without depleting their dwindling bank accounts. No coupon-clipping, Prada-depriving, or carb-hating allowed! Bitches, welcome to the era of smart indulgence. The author is a recession-era fashion guru, travel agent, grooming consultant, therapist, sommelier, and life coach all rolled into one. She'll show you how to adjust your attitude, discover your hot spots, and make life richer in every sense of the word. Bitches on a Budget is the consummate guide to living with joy, style, and a healthy dose of irreverence--whatever the economic weather. Publishers Weekly compared Bitches on a Budget to the mega bestseller He's Just Not That Into You and said "a sassy tone and abundant...ribald jokes make frugality seem fun." Review:"The book melds two fads: 'Deal with having less during the recession,' and the 'Girl, get a clue!' category popularized by books like He's Just Not That into You. A former department store buyer and marketing executive, Hoffman echoes the often trotted-out advice that women should 'invest in' a few quality items they'll enjoy wearing, looking at or using for years to come, and cut back on everything else. Much of her suggestions are obvious — shop at cheaper retail stores, for example, or get haircuts less often. Rather than being about saving money, the book is about spending it — the Hoffman way. This contradiction aside, a sassy tone and abundant — if not always successful — ribald jokes make frugality seem fun." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:In this witty, recession-era guide to being thrifty while not forgoing the fabulous, Hoffman dishes up the wisdom women need to get perfect style without breaking what's left of their bank accounts.
