Sorry, we’re not talking Christmas, we’re talking book release–just ten more days! Like little kids who can’t wait to open our wrapped presents, we just can’t wait to share our book. So we’re going to give you a little sneak preview as we head toward December 29th. Besides, doesn’t a little teasing makes everything so much more delicious?
Chapter 1
Shopping Out of the Apocalypse
Bitches, we’re going to let you in on a little secret: Women might only make $.78 for every $1 men make, but we’re the ones who drive the economy. We’re the ones who decide what to buy and when to buy it. You think we’re kidding? Just turn on the television. It’s talking to you, bitch. And even when it’s not—Rogaine and boner pills—it’s still about you.
Forget free market capitalism. Estrogen drives GDP. And, as with most things, only we can fix this mess. So it’s time for us to stand up straight, toss our hair back, and do what we do best—stimulate this economy.
Believe in Looks, Not Labels!
While it’s your patriotic duty to keep the economy stimulated, it’s your civic duty to cast off the outdated, more-is-better style of the nineties and aughts. No modern bitch wants a big footprint. Yes, it’s time to get America moving. It’s also time to throw out the ostentatious ($2,000 Chanel boots), the excessive ($20,000 Hermes Birkin), the ridiculous (Paris Hilton clothing). It’s time to buy and spend wisely.
Bitches on a Budget is being published by the New American Library division of Penguin Books. Ask your bookseller when they’ll be putting it out on their shelves!

I more often than not don’t leave comments!!! Trust me! Though I liked your blog…especially this post! Would you mind terribly if I put up a backlink from my site to your site?
Throw out the Chanel boots? Roz, were you in a manic state or just trying to be provocative? I’ve been in tuition servitude for so long I’ve never had such things, but a post on whether last year’s It item can be made to look fresh might be of interest …
In the final chapter of our book we come to your very favorite bitch—no, not you! Your dog. Pamper the Bitch reminds you that sweet yapping Maxie still deserves some special treatment (even when your bankbook is whimpering). But you’ve gotta...
If you haven’t noticed, we like to titillate. Call it arrested development, call it dirty minds. For example, when the waiter asks if we’d “like anything else,” the voice in our head goes to all kinds of places–and we’re not talking...
We Love Our Garden Weed
It’s that time of the summer when the weed in our garden runs wild! We’re not complaining, we love our weed, but as good as it is early on the more you use the trickier it gets. Face it, overdosing is not a delicious...

Blueberries are the best.
At this time of the summer blueberries are readily available and attractively priced. So attractively priced, in fact, that we often end buying more than we can bake, conserve, and munch in a timely manner. Our...

…’throw out’ as in striving for…and a little provocative, too!
