I LOVE LOVE LOVE Follow me Mondays!!! Thanks for all the hard work you put into making the videos. I’ve noticed a lot of couponers buy microwave popcorn…witch is a little scary.
There is an article in the Nov. issue of Prevention (the Michelle Obama cover) that states the that the lining of microwave popcorn bags contain the chemical PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) that vaporize when microwaved and migrates into your popcorn!!:(
They have done animal testing at UCLA and found these chemicals cause liver, testicular, and pancreatic cancer. And if that doesn’t sound bad enough the chemicals stay in your body for years and accumulate.
“DuPont and other manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015 under a voluntary EPA plan, but millions of bags of popcorn will be sold between then and now” p.82.
So I’ve stooped buing microwave popcorn and guess what? The kernals that you pop yourself on the stove are sooooooo much cheaper then any sale I’ve found. Even the organic kind!:) And there are plenty to how-to videos on the web on how to pop your own, but this is the cutest I came across..and really easy to follow. Hope that helps some Couponers out there!! 🙂

great job!!! that really stinks, but don’t worry… we’re still following ya!!
Colin, you are hillarious! Thanks for the fun video Mondays- gives me something to watch during naptime since they cancelled my soap!
P.S. I’m gonna look for a deal on coats for ya 😉 lol
Oh my goodness, your video is so cute. It is so nice that you get the commissary to shop at!! I am so jealous.
This is a whole lot off topic but I’m in “investigation mode” right now. I have a seriously prehistoric printer that while it still works, it’s realllllly slow…and eats ink like they’re poptarts. I’d really like a combo printer/scanner/copier but more at the low-end of the price-range. I also would forgo the combo part for just a printer if someone happens to know of any great deals out there right now? Also, I’d like to point you all to a site called Woot.com. It’s mostly electronic gadgets…but every day they feature a new item. I’ve purchased a few different mp3 players and some other random items for a whole lot less than what they normally cost. Check it out!
That was the first time watching one of your videos and I have to say that you are adorable. Bummer about the power outage b/c that was some cheap meat LOL!
You are so darn CUTE. Just couldn’t be upset at your ever! Thanks for all of your tips.
i’m so GLAD that i got to meet you that night! and very glad that i got out of the Commissary before that happened!! hope to run into you again, Collin!
YES, THERE WERE DIFFICULTIES AT THE COMMISSARY THAT NIGHT! LOL. Luckly, I got out of there before it happened! but i did hear it was we were walking out! thanks Collin! it was night to meet you too! didnt hear that at the end till my friend told me! had to go back and see it! 😀
I’m the Deaf one that reads your blogs, this one really got me wondering what the summary is. I have just ingorned your other ones.
So can you add a summary on this one?
Thanks
Hip, just wondering how long it takes you to grocery shop? This is my worst area of couponing because I don’t have the time to scour the shelves for sale items to match up with coupons. I have my 2 girls with me (3 and 1) and they do not have the patience for that.
I love your math 🙂
So sad. No $1/1 Tyson coupons at my commissary. 🙁
Awh, i had no idea you’re military. The whole blog made me miss our old commisary in Jacksonville! our new one in Long Island is TINY – like 6 aisles and no deli or fresh breads and hardly an meats or produce! But great tips 🙂
I am a first timer to your videos and have always loved your site. You are “too cute” – sorry you did not get your groceries since that is a lot of hard work.
You have a great personalty and I don’t think you will find any disappointed folks here.
Keep up the videos.
You are so adorable, its not even funny! Like we’d think you lied about that! My dh thought that was so funny!
Anyway, on another note…I just received my shipment from BooksAMillion for the kids books…OMG..they are adorable books!! I went ahead and gave my DD the Thanksgiving books and she took them to bed for her nap!
I just wanted to say…thank you for bringing so many great deals to us! You could have chose to leave that one out…but it was so adorable and perfect!
So….long story short…THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU POST!!
There is NO WAY to find these types of deals at any of my local stores here in So Cal. You know things never go as planned great video btw!
I also save all my expired coupons for military use – but does anyone know where we can send them? I believe the Post Office requires a name to send them?
You’re still awesome!!!! Thanks!!
Ok, so I am 12 weeks preg, and your story made me laugh and cry at the same time. I have had the same type of day. I had my Dr apt. today, but the Dr was 1 hour and 15 minutes late, so by that time the other four kids where wild and the little one was ready for a nap, so I couldn’t force myself or them to go to the stores. Maybe we will try again tomorrow. Just to show as much as we plan you can never tell what will really happen.
Awe – that is such a bummer for you. Amazed that you are still so happy and cheery after having to evacuate. At least you are safe 🙂 My MIL can shop at the Commissary near us, so I may go with her one time to see if I can check out the deals. The big tip that I think I got out of your trip is that the Commissary still gives you the full coupon value even if the item is less than the face value of the coupon…sweet!
I just got my package from VS today…I have the samw sweater as you only in orange!
I am laughing so hard. You really thought we would think you were lying? You are nuts! Hahaha! What a disappointment to do all that work and then have to leave it. Hope it wasn’t too serious of an issue. Better luck next time!
Where do you get all those coupons?
You talk a little to fast, please slow down!!!
Take pointers from Melissa d’Arabian. She had to slow down and when she did she won
“The Next Food Network Star” contest!!!!
I SOOO look forward to your Follow Me Monday videos…. you are such a fun sweet gal – love watching you snag the deals & share the knowledge!! Thank a million for all you do!
Thanks for taking us to the Commissary Collin. I get really frustrated shopping there with long lines and overcrowded aisles. Your video has reminded me of the great deals and privelage it is for our families. THANKS!!!
Great video! Too cute…and hysterical. You’re a natural! :o) Looking forward to Pt. Deux.
You are too funny. I love your videos and great advice.
You have so many coupons that I don’t have.
This is my first time watching a video…I saw you pair a b1g1 coupon with a coupon for a discount on the same purchase..I was told at Kroger that you couldn’t pair a coupon with a b1g1 coupon because it (b1g1) was applying to 2 items and you couldn’t use 2 coupons on one item and that it was fraud to do so??? Whats up with this? I have always seemed to do so, but don’t want to get into trouble or any of the cashiers to get in trouble for accepting it if they aren’t suppose to..? Any facts behind this? Thanks.
anon: Rule-one Manufactures coupon per item! if you are getting 2 bags of veggie meals you CAN use a 1.50/1 coupon and a buy one get one free! see 2 coupons 2 items
I loved the video. It made me think twice about shopping at the commissary. I usually don’t but now i will and take the time to look at the sales. Also, you mentioned your “Binder”. how do you set it up?
For a second I thought maybe the store rigged a power outage just so you couldn’t “get away” with all your great deals! Still a great video. I too would love to see your camera gal.
On a hilarious side note, you remember the Oprah 50% text coupon for payless shoes? Well I was able to snag a few pairs for the kids, slippers, PLUS two pairs for me. Same style, different colors. Well I dressed in semi darkness last friday and ended up wearing one of each (one brown, one black) to work. HILARIOUS and embarrassing.
Thanks for all you do

Collin, you are too funny!!!
You are better than any tv show. You peak my interest, keep me involved and…..there is humor, sadness, reality, joy and sometimes an unexpected ending! My daughter has tv shows that she has to watch every week. Me? I just look forward to “Follow Me Monday”. Thanks for all you do…God Bless Your Family!
OMW!!!! How dissapointing that must have been. I was gettng so excited seeing all the great deals you were getting. Couldn’t wait to see the final price.. love watching your videos. I just made a new binder from an oldtime 3×5 photo album. It’s posted on my blog if you want to check it out:)

Where I shop you can only use one manifacture coupon per item, and you had buy one get one free and then 150 off? Also you can’t make money on coupons, the register will change the price to match the item, if the coupon is more.
you are so funny!! cant wait till next week. I love your site!! You do such a great job. I am new to couponing so I have a lot to learn!
Hey.. you was great…sorry about the diffculties…it happens…I have the power go out at Walgreens at night then they come on 30 mins and had to stay later to do the stuff we didnt get done.. its sad…hope the coupons didnt expire…good luck next time.. be looking for part 2
lol – you are the cutest 🙂
You are SO funny! I just LOVE your blog – and the “Follow Me Mondays” are so much fun to watch! I started off with the Organization one … got my Q’s organized in a binder & now I’m asking for a purse like yours for Christmas! 🙂 I wanna be like Hip2Save!
I just have to say you “ROCK” Out of all the coupon blogs out there you have the Best!!!
YOU ARE SO FUNNY! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR FOLLOW ME MONDAY VIDEOS. DO YOU EVER AD MATCH AT WALMART. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN AND DO MOST OF MY GROCERY SHOPPING AT WALMART.
