Bargain Junkie: Living the Good Life on the Cheap
An year ago, my friend treated me with this book as a gift for me. She very well know that though I am living the best, living cheap sounds more better. The book did not disappoint me.
I couldn't control my laughter while reading some pages. Are there people who love spending more in today's hectic life? No. Never. It's a timely book with a sense of humor attached. Ms. Kozen exposed a fun side of frugality. The book is full of ideas on getting great deals on foods, clothing, car, travels and more. It has a different feel than a typical "10 Ways to Save Money" magazine article. Bargain Junkie is addicting. Learn "How To Live Large, But Pay Little".

Details:
Forget Fashionistas. Meet the Bargainista. Annie Korzen is a thrifty women with expensive tastes. Raised by an immigrant mother who re-used tea bags, Annie learned early on how to be an economista. In Bargain Junkie, Korzen shares her hilarious tales from the trenches- the garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, rummage sales and online auctions. Korzen haggles, scrimps, saves and stretches her dollars and imagination so she can afford to travel, dress well, and eat out whenever possible. Whether she's getting a cardio-vascular workout at the store, getting revenge on a yard-sale con artist, or eating herself sick at the free green room buffet before appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Annie is the ultimate Bargainista.

What a wonderful read this little book is, I literally laughed out loud at some of the stories, but t it also gave some good money saving information.
About Author:
She is exceptionally good. She keeps you laughing as she shares true stories of her life as a 'Bargainista'. Annie is an Hollywood actress, but not rich and famous. She has played a variety of small roles on shows like Seinfled, ER and Hannah Montana. Annie also writes comedy and it shows here. You will love reading on her appearance in Oprah. Besides, Annie has a warm and funny personality, the book is fun to read. Her essays have been printed in the New York Times, the Los Angels Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and elsewhere. She has delivered commentaries on NPR'S Morning Edition, and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. Annie calls Los Angels her home.

My Verdict:
Although I am a Bargain enthusiast, I was surprised by how much I had yet to learn from Annie's very entertaining, imaginative and informative Bargain Junkie. It is right on the money- full of good sense and good cents. I enjoy Ms. Korzens approach to living; she is not exactly "picky cheap", but more "living large" oriented.
