Hello Collin and Family! I wanted to let you know how much your site has touched my heart and others around me. My youngest sister is moving out of my parent’s house this summer and moving about 3 hours away from family to go to Nursing School. This will be her first time on her own and she is very scared of being alone and having to depend on herself for everything.

So with the help of your website, I was able to collect a ton of stuff to help stock her shelves in her new apartment. I took a picture of about half of what I have collected for her and I spent around $10 total for it all. I was even able to get her one of the deals posted on the Jill’s Steals and Deals, which was the Ipad mini leather cover and keyboard set.

I have also helped her start collecting coupons and showing her the best way to use them with the best deals (thanks to all your hard work at Hip2Save). She is now a Hip2Save fan and will be following you as well.

HAPPY FRIDAY! 😀

    I’m not sure where to post this but I just ran into Walgreens to grab 2 dry idea deodorant bogo this week and they are marked $2.99 and ringing up bogo. I used 2 $1.50/1 from this past Sundays 7/14 RP making 2 free deodorant!!!! Much better deal than I expected!!! So hope someone else is able to score this awesome deal!

      I also ment to say I am so thankful for Collin and hip2save an coupons!!! I tell at least 1 person a day “all I do is follow hip2save” !!!

      My Walgreen’s in Richmond, VA won’t let you use two coupons on a BOGO deal. They are very strict 🙁

      So I don’t go there anymore and do all my shopping at CVS now! The cashiers there are much nicer and seem to know their coupons!

        I just find Walgreens as an unfriendly store. I always have bad experiences in them. Maybe it is just the ones around me.

  5. Sarah

    What a great sister!!! That is a great stockpile!!!

  6. brandice

    I started couponing my last semester……

    It would have helped me so much in college.

  8. Megan

    I’ve also been stocking up for things to send my brother off to college in the fall!.. it’s amazing how much you can get for so little.. I plan on sending him coupons for things he uses with little comfort gifts throughout the year!

    Andrea, I wish your sister the very best of luck in her endeavors, as a big sis you must be so proud of her!? What a wonderful thing you did for her! Collin, I don’t think I could ever say Thank you enough for for all the time, hard work, & heart you give to us everyday! 🙂 I am always telling people about your site & how it has changed how my family shops!!

  10. Sportmom3

    I agree. Thanks Collin. I’m having a baby soon and was afraid about taking a pay cut to spend time at home with baby. Now I’m not as worried thanks to this site!

  11. Bonnie

    I love this. Great way to mentor your younger sister. Thank you hip2save!

  12. JJ

    Awww! That’s so precious! I’m moving out to go to grad school too. I lived in a dorm in college, so it’s definitely an entirely new situation on my hands. Good luck to your sister and great job on being an amazing sister!!! 🙂

  13. Jesse

    You are a great big sister- what a great gift to give, teaching someone about the joy of couponing 🙂
