Sent from reader, Carissa:

I have been following hip2save for about a year, and I am amazed at how much money I can save by using coupons AND by being aware of freebies and deals!  In 20 minutes today, I scored all of this for $4!  I stopped at Walgreen’s to pick up my FREE 8X10 photo, I returned a FREE Redbox movie and scored a second FREE movie for tonight, I picked up a Cherry Berry Chiller at McDonald’s (coupon expires today) for FREE, and I grabbed a $4 Large pepperoni deLITE pizza from Papa Murphy’s (standard price on Friday in the summer).  When I got home, my 50 Shades book was on my doorstep from Amazon, purchased for FREE with a gift card from Swagbucks!  I am so thankful for your site and for all the work you do bringing us deals everyday!  Thank you, Collin!

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

    Love it! I agree some days the free stuff really adds up

    hi, I would like to know from where do you have the coupon for $4/pizza?
    Thank you

    • Melissa

      papa murphy’s large pepperoni pizzas are $5 every Friday during the summer. No coupon needed.

      • Ferchi

        thank you, so is $5, no $4, ok?
        Thank you

    • fran

      I don’t think she had a coupon. Carissa said it was the standard price on Fridays in the summer.

    • Jacky

      The large deLite pepperoni pizza’s are $4. And at ours, if they run out (which they usually do) they will do a Large regular crust Pepperoni for $1 more. HTH!

      • Jacky

        No coupon needed! Just their FRiday special! 🙂

    • Laura

      Is this all Papa Murphys? We have one by our house and I’ve never heard of this deal.

  3. Lisa

    I can assure you that the best deal you got was the free Fifty Shades! LOL!

    • MalibuBeachBum

      HA! 😉

    • giggles

      It really isn’t a good book if your used to reading erotica. If this is your first go at it may since good until you discover Jaid Black. LOL

      • Nancy

        Giggles, I just put 2 of her books on hold at my library 🙂 Who said this site was good only for coupon deals – ha!

        • giggles

          LOL enjoy them. You may stop to jump on the hubby a few times tho.

          When she got sick and stopped writing for a while, I was so heartbroken. She is one of the few authors who haven’t disappointed me with a series or sequel. I can’t wait for her new books to come out next year.

    • Sarah

      Yeah, I think it’s the worst deal she got. Ick.

      • Sasha

        Better quit while we’re ahead-I can see censoring over the horizon with the Shades 🙂

        • Natalie

          A free book is great. 50 Shades of Grey……not so great! Everyone wants to read it because of the hype though( including myself and my inner goddess LOL ).Rolling my eyes at the thought!!

      • Me

        I second the ick… But all others are awesome finds! 🙂

      • kayalli

        It’s still available for free as PDF form online. It started as a TWILIGHT fanfiction!! I would not recommend it. Very bad quality writing.

    • Lisa

      I completely agree that the book is not well written but it sure was FUN!

    • shanshan

      Err… that 50 shades book is sick! Regret getting one due my curiosity got the better of me. Surprised it’s photoed, mentioned, chosen, and even published here on H2S!

  4. Jen

    That is awesome! Every penny counts and I am so happy that Hip2Save makes it so easy for our family. My kids have learned so much 🙂

  5. tina

    Have fun reading 50 shades 😉 I know I did

  6. Alicia Phoebe Oviatt

    i love me some COLLIN THANX A MILLION TIMES OVER

  7. Ger

    Made me smile! 🙂

  8. Mathilde

    Yes! Thank you Collin for all the saving tips! So great, love it!!

  9. Nicole C

    Just a tip order fifty shades darker and fifty shades freed right now, you will thank me when you hit the last page of fifty shades of grey and are begging for the next book. Warning you will miss these books once your done that’s how good they are! Enjoy I loved them!

  10. Tonya

    Thats awesome! Ive been following for about 7 months and can’t believe how much you’ve helped me! Im ill and my husband (he’s amazing) works 2 jobs for us to barely get by. I’ve been able to save money, update our wardrobe and get us out for fun here and there thanks to all of the freebies and serious discounts I hear about from you. Thank you!

    • Amanda

      I don’t know you, but would just like to wish you well! So sorry to hear that you have been ill. The more good thoughts, the better, right? 🙂

      • Tonya

        You are so kind! I thank you for the well wishes! <3

  11. kathie

    Awesome deal, glad you shared the picture. Have a good weekend.

  12. ellen

    love, love, LOVE IT!

    I think the delite pizza from Papa John’s is regional? I called mine and they had no clue what I was talking about. Unless it is a frozen pizza?

    • alea

      Papa Murphy’s not Papa Johns. You bake them at home.

    • Michelle

      It’s not papa johns, it’s papa murphys. It’s a different company.

      • Caroline

        Duh 🙂 no wonder they thought I was loco when I called!

  14. ashley

    Looks like you’re gonna have a good night 🙂

  15. Shannon

    I love this Carissa! Don’t you just love days like that!

  16. crystal

    super cool. hope u enjoyed your pizza and all the other freebies 🙂

    Deals like that are just the best! Just a quick ‘funny’ that I thought most of you would LOL at… regarding the McDonalds ‘free berry chiller’ coupons… I had four coupons to use a few weeks ago, one for me and three for my kids. we were in the truck and ready to go thru Drive-Thru (kids didn’t have shoes on as we were going for an evening drive). I pull up and place my order… and tell them I have four coupons to use and that there are four of us in the truck. Well, the lady comes back and says “We are sorry, we can’t use that many coupons in one transaction”. I said “Ok, then we can do four seperate transactions”. Then the manager comes on and says “No, you don’t understand, we can only take one coupon per car, so you have to drive back thru each time to use each coupon”. I couldn’t help but LOL alittle… I said “You want me to drive around four seperate times??” She said “Yes”. I mentioned the back of the coupon doesn’t state they can’t be used in DriveThru nor does it state one per car… it states “One coupon per customer/person per day”. The manager says “Well, then you can come in and use the coupons in the lobby”. I told her my kids didn’t have their shoes in as we didn’t plan on going in. She says “Ok” and then left. I drove five miles to a different McDonalds and used them with no problem 🙂

      Some people are so silly! Sometimes I think managers are just on a power trip when they enforce rules like that (especially the rules they just made up on their own!) lol. I’m glad you found a store that was reasonable! 🙂

    • Angela

      My mcdonalds have signs up when you order but I think its stupid as well. The hubs went to diary queen to use BOGO coupons and had to go thru the line twice too…. So stupid!

    Try your local library for dvds- There is 1 that is 5 minutes from my house that gets all the newest releases and rents them for 2 days for free-the movies not considered hot new releases you get for 1 week. In the summer since the library is closed on Sundays, if you go Friday you keep the movies until Monday!
