In How To Be A Bargain Junkie, actress and comedienne Annie Korzen, a thrifty woman with expensive tastes, shares her hilarious tales from the trenches-the garage sales, thrift stores, and online auctions. She haggles, scrimps, saves, and stretches her dollars and her imagination so she can afford to travel, dress well, collect art and antiques, and rub elbows with the rich and famous.

Whether she's getting a cardiovascular workout at the store, getting revenge on a yard sale con artist, or eating herself sick on free room service before appearing on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Annie is the ultimate bargainista, and her warm and witty anecdotes might just make an economista out of you, too.
