"Well-written and illuminating, Ellwood reveals the implications bargain shopping holds for American retailing not just in the present, but for years to come" - Publishers Weekly "A book after my own heart. Bargain Fever lifts the veils off the sales, ensuring even more that you'll never pay retail again."- Carmen Wong Ulrich, financial contributor, CBS This Morning, and author, Generation Debt "This book is a bargain hunter's bible."-Michael Tonello, author, Bringing Home the Birkin "Sample-sale fashionistas, coupon junkies, and thrift-shop scavengers will laugh at themselves in Mark Ellwood's explosively funny and doggedly-reported Bargain Fever. Ellwood has confected a rollicking good read that informs us as much about how we tick as it does about the phenomenon of bargain hunting."-Teri Agins, author, The End of Fashion "Ever wonder how you wound up with so much stuff in your house? Through gumshoe investigative reporting and revealing case studies, Mark Ellwood's Bargain Fever explores our addiction to acquiring abundantly on the cheap-whether we need the items or not-and how corporations have encouraged and nourished it with coupons, outlets, sales, and other commercial gimmicks. The science of whipping up this consumerism frenzy is startling and somewhat revolting; Bargain Fever is a shopaholic's cure."- Dana Thomas, author, Deluxe "Witty, incisive, and sharply observant, Bargain Fever had me laughing out loud from page one."- Tilly Bagshawe, author, Adored "Bargain Fever is just as fierce, funny, tenacious, and tantalizing as its author.
