Calling all Tampa Residents: Will You Join Me for Dinner?
UPDATE: The 5 spots have been filled! I only wish that I was able to meet all of you for dinner!
As most of you probably know, the winner of the “Follow You Monday” giveaway was Sarah who resides in Tampa, Florida. After reading through the comments once the winner was announced, it seemed that many of you also live in or near Tampa. I am flying to Tampa to film with Sarah the weekend of February 5th. So, I decided that it may be fun to meet several of you for dinner in Tampa on Friday, February 5th at 6:30 PM. I have made arrangements to have dinner with 5 readers and a guest of their choice at a local Tampa restaurant. If you are interested in joining me for dinner (and live in Tampa or are willing to drive to Tampa), please send an email to bryn@hip2save.com. Please enter “Tampa Dinner” in the subject line and provide your first and last name and phone number. The first 5 people to send an email will be selected to join me for dinner. I look forward to meeting you!
So jealous!! Wish you were coming to Minnesota!!
just emailed you hope I got in fast enough 🙂
If you’re ever in the DC metro area give a shout 🙂 If it was one month later I’d be in Florida visiting and would have loved to have made the drive. I hope that you all have an absolutely wonderful time!
I’m in Wesley Chapel and work in Tampa- would love to

I so wish you were coming to Austin, Texas! I’d LOVE to meet you! And I’d even have “home-made” lemonade with you at dinner. LOL!
OK, Tampa?! Seriously, who gets that lucky to HAVE to go to Tampa?! LOL, you know you want to make a trip to Dayton, OH!
That’s right! Can’t beat the weather in Dayton 🙂
We have some warm days… in between lots of cold ones!! 😉
I agree. She should come to Dayton, OhiO! 🙂 We could do some commissary shopping here as well 🙂
YES do come to Austin! We have LOTS of great things to do here and I’m sure there are great bargains to be had 🙂
I am SOOOO jealous!!! I would love to meet you!! =( Come to Chicago … it’s awesome here!
OOOO I’m in Tampa, emailing you right now 🙂

Agreed! Collin needs to come to Atlanta!
With everyone wanting to meet you, we could keep Collin traveling constantly! 🙂
Awesome! All the winners should order water with lemons!
LOL
Hope you miss the Superbowl traffic with everyone going to Miami and have fun with Sarah and the other winners. Go Saints!!! LOL
So fun for all of you in Tampa. I am in California so no dinner for me. Have fun and please enjoy your “Lemonade” we know that will be a topic of discussion. I bet the Tampa stores will be flooded that weekend with everyone looking to find Collin 🙂
Wish I had seen this earlier I’m in Tampa 🙁
Ever been to Idaho? It’s beautiful this time of year… OK, maybe not this time of year. But we’d love you to visit our great state! You and your lemonade are welcome ANYTIME!!
Don’t forget to bring your lemons to dinner with you ladies. 🙂
I wish I was in Tampa, ever consider Madison WI in the dead of winter? We could have hot chocolate instead.
Everyone knows the place to be right now is New Orleans :)…. Have a great time!
How about Pittsburgh? It’s a little cold but the landscapes covered in snow are beautiful ! Oh, lucky winners in Tampa!
Colin,
I know you have your 5 people picked for dinner, however, I am in Brandon, Florida (Tampa area) and I would love the opportunity to still meet you. Have you thought about a meet and greet?
I have a GREAT idea Collin. Your MONDAY VIDEO, after your trip to Tampa, should be : ‘What it’s like to meet a celeb like Collin’ ~ obviously you have a huge fan list ~ everywhere 🙂 LOL. Thanks for everything!
Then we could all feel like we were there:)
Ok Collin. I live right in the same town as you and we still haven’t met! LOL I figure we will run into one another at a sale sometime. Have fun in Tampa!
BTW! I have made 8 swagbucks by typing in hip2save in the past 2 days. Yeah! I no longer just refresh the page I type it in.
What a bummer I missed out on this!! Happy for the lucky 5 who get to go!
Ah man! I live in Jacksonville, FL. I would have loved to be with you guys.
I also live in Jacksonville, FL and would love to have Collin come to our town!
wth i wish you would let those of us who actually have a job have a chance to participate in contests like this.
Wow, I hope you’re kidding, that was a pretty snarky comment. I have a job and i’m not mad I missed out.
whatever! im a sahm and i check this site a gazillion times a day, it was like as soon as she posted it -bam! they were gone!
btw can’t wait to see pics and maybe a vid. of the winners!! ;D
WOW!!! I can not believe someone would actually have the balls to say something like that. It’s not like its the end of the world. We still have her blog so if you didnt get picked in the 5 stop being such a spoiled sport.
I guess a stay at home mom is not a job
For your information, A stay at home mom IS A JOB! its not easy staying at home with kids, especially multiples! We do a lot of work at home and dont get paid for it. I only get to check this site when my kids are asleep so hush your mouth
I was commenting on Jenna post I also am a SAHM trust me I know how busy I am. I was being sarcastic *says:
Unfortunately, there will always be spoiled, bratty Jenna’s out there 🙂
wow that was seriously a low thing to say. Wow. Not surprised what kind of person are you anyway.
I live in Indiana, but I so would have driven to Tampa to have dinner with Collin! You need to have lots more opportunities for us to win a chance to meet you!
YAY another Hoosier. lol. Go Colts!
Ah man! I missed it 🙁 didn’t realize you had so many Tampa followers…
If you are ever in Hawaii, (You know you want to come) I would love to meet you!!!
I just received the e-mail that I was picked!!! So excited!!
Congrats. 🙂 Super Jealous!! 🙂 Have fun.
Thanks!!!!
Congrats Linda…have a good time, and don’t forget to order water with lemon. I think, after all that
OOPS! I was just going to say (and I must have hit the enter button by mistake) that after all the lemon talk last week, I am going to ask for water, with a small dish of lemons. I will squeeze the lemons into my water, which I usually do, but instead of putting the lemon in my glass, I will put it back in the dish. Then, I will ask for a wipe, to wipe their germs from my hands (or use Purell)…seems like a lot to do, but I like lemon in my water…no sugar.
Sorry I don’t live near Tampa…..but my two daughters, who do, got in……….Praise The Lord!!!!!
Yeah dad we are soooooooooooo excited to go !!!!
I like the idea of a meet and greet! I too am near Tampa so if any of the winners need a date let me know lol! I’ll pay for my own meal & even have a lemon tree so I can get you all the lemonade you want!
so cute kim.
Wish I still lived in Tampa!
Congrats winners! What a GREAT oppurtunity!!! Come to CALIFORNIA! =)
Have a great time everyone – I’ll be watching for that ‘Follow me to Tampa’ post with Collin & all of you lucky peeps in it!
I’m in NH and I agree with Dayton gals – you know you want to come and visit the snow. Just make sure you snag a great deal on something a little warmer than fleece coats from the children’s place first!! I’m just a little jealous of the Sunshine State right now, can you tell?? After our one day meltdown of 50 degrees we’re back to 35 again. Have fun and can’t wait to watch the video.
Yeehaw Collin! You’d better not tell us which restaurant you are going to or the rest of us Tampa maniacs will MOB the place! Haha! Just kidding of course, but you DO rock Collin! I know you have more than 5 fans in Tampa because I’ve told at least 5 of my friends about this site! 🙂
Congratulations to everyone that won!! Big congrats to sarah (i think that is her name !?) who won the follow me monday contest!! I am in orlando fl and I would have loved to go! My friend and I have become hiptosave junkies hahaha. Have a great time and I cant wait to see the video.
OH So sorry for the stay at home mom’s that were affended. I never said anything bad about stay at home parents or had anything in that nature in my comment. It would just be nice to be able to participate in some things. Make opportunties available for working people too. that would be nice. Also for the haters who wanted to be B’s about my comment go get a life and stop being bashers. Maybe you may need another hobby outside of the home that does not include your family.
Congratulations to all you Tampa ladies. It would figure I’d pick yesterday to go out and get my deals. You are all so lucky. Thanks for all you do Collin and thanks for coming to Tampa. I highly recommend the Manatee Center it’s free out here in Apollo Beach and they are way to cute. Have fun everyone.
