The Budget Bible

SAVVY SHOPPER: Being thrifty and fabulous is what Rosalyn Hoffman’s new book "Bitches On a Budget" is all about. The recently released paperback guide divulges the best ways to save money without coupon clipping and depriving oneself of luxe wants like a Prada handbag. The former buyer for Filene’s and Lord and Taylor is big on D-I-Y projects like redecorating your home, as well as swapping expensive restaurants for home-cooked gourmet meals (recipes are included). Plus, she shows how gals can expand their wardrobe with trendy wear and classic staples by shopping at consignment stores and using a tailor for clearance item steals that don’t quite fit right.
