The Sassy Minx wrote about Bitches on a Budget:

“Seriously, I LOVE this book. It’s for minxes like us, who know what we want but don’t want to pay the earth for it. Author-girl, Roz Hoffman is officially my new recession era fashion guru, travel agent, grooming consultant, therapist, sommelier and life coach all rolled into one – come meet her, read about her awesomeness, then buy the book – in that order.”

The Fashionable Housewife

wrote about Bitches on a Budget:

“I think this is a deliciously funny must-read book for today’s financially challenged woman. Not only is this a great read, but it’s wonderfully informative as well. I love that Rosalyn Hoffman includes recommendations for all “budget levels”. Being on a budget means something different to everyone and this book includes it all, whether you are shopping at Wal Mart or Nordstrom.”

Dish

wrote about Bitches on a Budget:

“Peppered throughout this cleverly written little tome, are bitchin’ tips which explain the secrets of being “thrifty”, “splurge worthy” and even “green ”. Complete with some bitchin’ recipes for dinner, cocktails and treats for the dog, Ms. Hoffman has covered all the bases and then some making this book a bitch to put down and a real find I want to share with all my bitch friends.”

wrote about Bitches on a Budget:

“Fashion and frugality have never blended well, but that’s all about to change with Bitches on a Budget …”  ”This guide to learning to live luxuriously without filing for bankruptcy includes tips on wallet-friendly dining, where to find the most fabulous apparel bargains and how to become your own manicurist/interior designer/hair stylist.  You can still survive these trying times in style, and save a ton of cash in the process!”

We’re  blushing and this is just the tip of the iceberg…






A Pasta Buy
April 2nd, 2010 | Comments

We’re crazy for Chelsea Market in NYC. While we go there for fish, meats, veggies, and baked goods, we’re totally obsessed with going to Buonitalia for our pasta. An Italian food importer filled with wonderful food and house wares, they stock the broadest assortment of Setaro brand pasta we’ve seen outside of Italy.

Better still, since we’re Bitches on a Budget and bargain hunters extraordinaire, the prices for the two pound packages are the best value we’ve found in the States.

This is a reprint of a piece we wrote for The Daily Beast Buzz Board 3/31/10






Play Travel Roulette
March 30th, 2010 | 1 Comment

It is still raining where we live and we’ve had enough. We’ve decided that before Noah and his Ark schedule a pick up  it’s time to evacuate the premises.

But, what’s a Bitch on a Budget to do?

Play travel roulette onKayak.com/buzz. Just type in your departure city and they’ll aggregate the cheapest fares to random destinations all over the world. Or, if you must be a more controlling B,  specify the month you want to travel and select your regional destination. Normally we love to be the one on top, but we’re willing to give up a little to get a great bargain.

Best of all, we’re just looking—no commitments required. Check it out … feel your engine revving.
