Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget: How to Survive in Business and Life Hardback -

Known to fans as "The Marge," Margaret Josephs is outspoken, stylish, and unapologetically herself. On screen, she's a fan-favorite Housewife, successful businesswoman, and lifestyle maven. Off screen, her journey to success was anything but glamorous. Born to young immigrant parents and raised by a single, free-spirited mother after escaping an abusive home, Margaret grew up without structure, stability, or a roadmap for the future.

Through destructive relationships, career setbacks, and personal reinvention, Margaret learned to survive--and then thrive--by sheer grit. In this revealing book, she shares how she turned adversity into ambition, building a lifestyle brand, navigating business with family, and carving out space as an uncompromising woman in a male-dominated world.

Along the way, Margaret spills unforgettable stories from her personal life, including the son viewers never knew about, life-changing advice from Joan Rivers, a notorious rock-star rendezvous, and the affair that ended her marriage but ultimately led to happiness on her own terms. Written with humor, honesty, and signature bravado, this memoir is both a behind-the-scenes look at reality TV fame and a rallying cry for women who want more.
