Frugalista lands book deal
Rejoice! It's been a secret goal of mine to write a book. After I launched The Frugalista Files, a lot of my readers asked me about writing one. Writing a book proposal can be a daunting thing.

Do looks matter? Do you think the health risks are worth it to look younger to get a job? Do you think people should just become entrepreneurs? Is America too vain? Is Dr. Jason Shapiro a savior? Would you get a cosmetic procedure? Tell the truth!

Big chain stores change how they do business
The New York Times had a good piece about how the recession is impacting how the big chains do business. Nowadays, retailers aren't stocking as many sizes and are more selective with their inventory. Neiman Marcus will offer more affordable clothing and Sears will have self-service computers in stores.
