About

I began honing my bargain-hunting skills years ago while in grad school, and they’ve served me well ever since. I’ve learned that with a little effort, any of us can dress well, take care of our bodies and have fun without spending vast sums of money. Over the years, I’ve been a newspaper reporter and editor, a radio DJ, and a college instructor. I currently work in the legal field.

I live in Hollywood with Mr. Wonderful and our two cats, and I’m always on the hunt for a good bargain. I’m here to share my knowledge, have a little fun, and hopefully learn from my readers, too. I hope you enjoy reading the blog and discover ways to save a little money along the way! If you have any suggestions, questions or requests, any brilliant ideas or great bargains to pass along, drop me an email at robin@budget-girl.com.
