Book Description

August 18, 2005
Consumer experts Anna Wallner and Kristina Matisic feel the pain of ripped-off shoppers. Hosts of the award-winning TV show The Shopping Bags, they've tested hundreds of products to teach consumers how to shop smart-at the mall, the grocery store, or the electronics superstore. They've even gone rock climbing to prove that expensive nail polish chips just as easily as the cheaper brand. Now, with their own zany flair, "The Shopping Bags" put their smart shopping tools at consumers' fingertips in their debut book, including:

- The ten shopping commandments
- How to spot deceptive sales tricks
- Profiles of common purchases, from lipsticks to lawnmowers, lightbulbs to lingerie - What to ask before buying a product

Filled with celebrity tips from the likes of Martha Stewart and Diane von Furstenberg, this hip, handy guide will make sure consumers never feel ripped off again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Find, February 28, 2006
By 
At first glace, I thought this book was going to be about fashion, like the zillions of others on the shelf. But it contains lots of helpful information about buying all kinds of products. I especially liked the food section and the everyday items section. Definitely recommend it as it has lots of little known facts. I understand these ladies have a show and I'm going to be checking my TV listings to find it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful, September 14, 2005
By 
These two ladies always have helpful tips and they are the most dedicated, hard-working duo on television! This book is an enjoyable read, packed with useful information on everything they have reviewed on their five years on air. They are always compelling as hosts and professional writers (they have written for In Style Magazine, a publication that would not accept hacks!) Yes, this compendium of knowledge will serve as a reference book for experts and neophytes alike - if nothing else, great cocktail party material!

I was visiting someone out of state and they had this book, I started to read it and found it very interesting and purchased this book from Amazon.Com when I returned home. I have found a lot of helpful information in this book, that I also purchased one as a gift for someone.
