Budgeting Babe on CBS Evening News

Posted on April 1, 2008 14 Comments

Hey friends, tune in tonight (Tuesday, April 1) to the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric at 5:30 Central Time/6:30 Eastern Time to watch yours truly talking fashion and finance with Kelly Wallace!!!!!! (…along with some of my fiercest best friends, of course.)

OMG, I have SO MUCH to tell you about it, but I’m a nervous wreck right now in anticipation of the piece so I have to bite my tongue until we see how it all turned out. All I can say right now is:

  1. It was an absolute dream to participate.
  2. If it turns out badly, we’re pretending like it never happened, ‘kay?
  3. If for some reason it DOES NOT air tomorrow night, they might hold it until later this week, so keep checking in. It’s a features piece, and those sometimes get bumped for more “hard news” stories that come up.

I will post the piece here one it airs. Please, please, please keep your fingers crossed that it turns out OK!

    No! I wore a dress that I got on sale for $20, a jacket that cost $24, and shoes that were on clearance for $40. All which previously existed in my closet!!!

    I was going for an office appropriate look :)

    I got bumped again. Sad.
    Apparently there is bigger news, like interviews with Colin Powell, recession and the mortgage crisis.

    Still, they’re saying it will air this week. I’ll just post the clip once it airs!

    Hey, I just saw the news, it didnt turn out badly at all and if it did it never happened. You just got your 15 seconds (well actually more) of fame haha anyway, its great to save cause prices seem to rise from food, gas, clothes etc.. Nice job!

    Nicole,
    I also saw you on CBS today. Congratulations that’s so cool that you were on tv talking about an issue that is really important these days.

    I just wished the piece was longer and gave tips on how to be frugal. I don’t need the tips because I read a lot of pf blogs, but I feel that others could definitely use the info.

    Keep up the good work.
