This review is from: Fabulous Bargains!: Great Deals You Can Get for (Almost) Wholesale (Paperback)

This book was exactly what I was looking for -- plenty of resources for discounts on travel, clothing, furniture, baby items. I gave it to my sister, and she won't return it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not just the laziest shopper, February 15, 2000

By 

scott allen (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fabulous Bargains!: Great Deals You Can Get for (Almost) Wholesale (Paperback)

While I enjoyed Ms. Gallagher's first book and a few of her articles in magazines it appears she was not at her best here. If I want advise on how to shop on the internet or at discount house's she gives a lot of names but not much on the substaince of purchasing. This book should include the statement "the self proclaimed laziest research write", not the laziest shopper.

2.0 out of 5 stars bargins are great, puns are tiring, March 15, 2000

This book has some wonderful tips for shopping. Stephanie has great ideas and presents the facts well. It is very boring reading through all of her little stories to get to the information I am looking for in this book. I wish there was a way to get her information and not have to read her whinning and telling us how awful thing are in her life.
