Hello, lovelies.

Sorry we’ve been MIA for a while. Since we last spoke, I’ve blown a wad in New York on some super cute Michael Kors shoes and a bag that I’m still scared to carry outside because it has so much bling on it that I’m going to get mugged for sure. So I’ve been too ashamed to write. But I’ve accepted the fact that we all fall off the horse from time to time, and the important thing is to get back on. I am back, and cheaper than ever.

We’ve also been pretty swamped watching intern videos and eating popcorn (a cheap snack, fyi) and being a little annoyed that a lot of you out there are a tad funnier than we are, and a hell of a lot more economical. But we’re still excited to announce the winner of the intern search next week, so stay tuned for a fresh face and more kick ass money saving magic. 

Anyway, no excuse to leave everyone high and dry, and I hope none of you have fallen off the wagon quite as spectacularly as I did in New York. One shop assistant actually said to me “You know, Bloomingdales isn’t going anywhere. You can come back later.” Bitch.

Tip Of the Day (which I’ve been doing EVERY DAY since I’ve been back): You can’t spend money you don’t have. Never carry more than $20 in your wallet, and try leaving your debit card at home. A true Recessionista should never need to spend more than $20 a day and it will force you to only buy things you really need. If you’re serious about it, try making the $20 last all week. God speed. xoxoxox
