    YAY!! Love these vids.

  2. Megan

    Ok, I’m laughing at the lemon in your shirt!!!!

  3. Jolene

    What’s up with the lemon under your collar?! You’re so cute. Thanks for the tips. Your enthusiasm is contagious. If I didn’t have to make dinner and take care of homework with the kids, I’d so be out of here and on my way to Target and Wags!

  4. Margaret Bangert

    You always crack me up. What’s the deal with the lemons?

  5. Erin

    Thanks for my mid-afternoon laugh! You give such great shopping advice, and definitely capture your audience. Looking forward to a Collin talk show some day, especially since Oprah will be retiring soon! 🙂

  6. Teri

    Too funny! Love the lemons!

  7. TIffany from Cental Cali

    LOL! I loved the random lemons.. at first i was like “Huh? they didn’t edit out the starbucks cup” and then when i got over how weird that a lemon is on the starbucks cup i realized it was on purpose.. too funny… you should make it part of your logo and hide random lemons in all your movies :p
    ps i’m glad you didnt give up the follow me mondays!!!!

  8. Jen

    You are sooo cute! Love the lemons! You go, girl!

  9. Candis

    I do not know how you keep a straight face! I would be crying from laughter with all the lemons:) I love clearance. I always go down the toy clearance isle at Walmart every time I shop to check for Christmas present bargains.

  10. Linda

    OMG you are a riot!!!!!
    Love love love the lemon accessories!
    haaaaaaaaaaaaa

  11. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Okay, the lemon thing is getting old!!!! We get it already!!! : )

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Lighten up…sheesh!!

    • jamieleisinger

      I’m not tired of it yet! It makes me laugh every time I see a lemon!

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Me too – I walked by lemons at the grocery store today and I smiled, thinking of you! It was a happy moment 😀

        • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

          I am not sick of the lemons. I thought they were so funny, i was laughing out loud and my kids came in and asked why i was laughing. I told my friend the lemon story and now everytime we go to lunch and I ask for NO lemon with my water and they bring me lemons with my water, we laugh.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Jen, if you’re annoyed then why look at her site? All these people that are so rude, I don’t get why they are here anyway.

    • Shannon

      Well Jen it is not YOUR website. If you don’t like it, go somewhere else. We all love Collin and everything she does. Seriously she goes out of her way to save us money for FREE. She dedicates so much of her time to helping complete strangers. The rude comments are extremely ignorant. She is darling, and has the cutest personality. The lemon thing is totally a personal joke that she now shares with 1000’s of followers. We all love her and I hope that we continue to see lemons. LOVE IT

    • Amy

      I agree. Love Colin, love the site (i’m here multiple times a day), love the videos but I think the lemon thing has run it’s course. I thought it was a little silly last week but fair for Colin to have her peace but please let’s move on to the bargains – for those of us who are interested in the videos for the great information I found the whole lemon thing distracting.

      • Amy

        i’ll add that i’m jealous you had scooters at your Target – I would have loved that. My 75% off was pretty picked through right away and there isn’t much for me but certainly worth checking out.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        @Amy 11.5 You found the lemons distracting in a couponing video??? Are you ADD or something?
        Thanks Collin for all your fab work!!!

    • Anon

      I personally think she could run around in a lemon costume if she wants to. Its her website. Let her do what she wants. If you don’t like it, go to another website…simple as that. I’m sure there is someone out there who doesn’t have lemons on their site, and doesn’t have “old” jokes.

      • Amy

        I love this site – I like it better than most of the other coupon sites that I have been to – probably because of the videos – Colin is funny and real and someone to connect to, not just a picture. I don’t want to go to another site. She has a comment section and has asked for feedback and that’s all i’m doing.

  12. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    the lemon thing is clearly here to stay! love it!

    • jamieleisinger

      me too!

  13. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    The Lemons were hilarious!! Again great info. I still can’t see a lemon and not think of hip2save.

  14. jaime

    jen-you are something that i can definitely not say on here. 🙂
    the lemon rocks.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      I was thinking sour puss!!!

  15. Monica

    TOO FUNNY! This is why we love you — you are real! What a great resposne to the “whole lemon” ordeal! BTW my sister made lemonade when we went out to dinner — just to honor you!

  16. patti

    Another great video, Colin! You are the BEST!!!!!

  17. Tiphanie

    LMAO! You had me in tears Collin. I think the lemon thing is funny Jen. People need to lighten up. FOr you all that don’t know why she keeps putting lemons in her FMM. It’s bc some people got mad that she ordered free lemons at olive garden and used them to make lemonaide.
    P.S> Collin: My husband used to be a server and he said he never minded giving people lemons! I do the same thing. I always order water with lemon.
    You are great!

  18. carla

    You are too funny! Love the Lemons! You have a great sense of humor! I can’t wait until Mondays to see your newest video…thanks!

  19. Sonia

    Love the random lemon’s! It took a second for me to register it, It should be a part of the follow me Monday routine. To all those that mock the lemons you should stop what you are doing right now and make some lemonade 🙂 Life is sweet!

  20. Tracy

    Loved the ideas, now just need to the time to go through my coupons and match them with the clearance items. LOL, still laughing at the random lemons…HAH…love that you’re able to joke about it and keep it light. Soooo glad you decided to keep doing the videos and by “you” I mean you and your trusty videogragher course!!

  21. amy

    You’re awesome Collin! I always look forward to your videos. I hoping to see a video on how to score some really good deals on lemons soon! lol!

    • jamieleisinger

      That is a great idea!

  22. Shelby

    Love the lemons that keep popping up! hahaha.

  23. flipfloppingmamma

    OMG! I seriously just blew tea all over the computer! Love you and love the lemons!

  24. Crystal

    I thought the lemons was VERY CREATIVE! I certainly don’t blame her for rubbing it in peoples faces. Thank you Collin (and camera person) I think its great.

  25. jamie

    haha… and the curse of the lemon will continue next week…. 😛 you have such a great sense of humor!!

  26. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    The local bar was so sure its bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1000 bet.
    The bartender would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
    Many people had tried over time, including the professional wrestlers and bodybuilders, but nobody could do it.One day a scrawny little man came in, wearing a tie and a pair of pants hiked up past his belly button.He said in a squeaky annoying voice, “I’d like to try the bet.”
    Even the hillbilly chicks burst into laughter. After the laughter had died down, the bartender said, “Ok,” grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away. He then handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.But the crowd’s laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
    As the crowd cheered, the bartender paid the $1000, and asked the little man, “What did you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, weight lifter, or what?” the little man said “No! I dont’ do anything for a living. I have to save as much money as I can, so when I go out to reasturants, I ask for lemons so I can make myself some free lemonade:)”

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Fantastic!

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        😉 thanks!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      wow!!! This is simply superb..:)

  27. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

  28. Ana

    LOL….. I loved the lemons…thanks for the laugh!!!

  29. lisa

    omg, I am wondering about the woman and the purse please let us know if the owner was found. The lemons was cute, but the purse worried me. (LOL)

  30. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Okay… I was fully composed during the whole video… I managed to keep from laughing out loud at the Starbucks and the random box of lemons at Target, BUT when it cut to you with the lemon in your shirt I literally had tears running down my face!! 🙂 Thanks for the laugh Collin!

  31. Amber

    Haha – you are ridiculously hilarious! I love your videos – they make me smile. Thanks for everything!

  32. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Collin! Love your videos!! So agree with Erin – you NEED to get your own show!!! I’ve been in TV/casting industry over 15 years – you need to get your own show or be booked on shows!! You’re a natural!!! 🙂 Hope you have a press/branding kit your sending out!!! 🙂 So glad I’m in on on “lemon jokes” sooooo funny! 🙂

  33. Aleisha

    OK I am dying over here! First of all the people that made the RUDE comments about the lemons are probably feeling like total #@* right now! LOVE it! Also, great choice in a sweater! I have the same one BUT I paid full price for it! LOL! Love the new hair btw! I just got the SAME haircut but with side swept bangs on Friday!

  34. jamieleisinger

    the lemon you were wearing today was so stylish! I loved it! 🙂

  35. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Can’t say that I “learned” anything but it was sure enjoyable to watch… LOVE YA!!!

  36. What?

    You are so funny…when life gives you lemons…. make a video! lol! Oh yeah, what happened with the purse?

  37. Suzanne

    When life hands you lemons, make lemonade! You are so going to end up with a lemon tattoo on your tushie before this is all over with… 🙂

  38. bbkmommy

    Love the new “accessories” – ROFL!!!

  39. Lindsay

    Some people are seriously so rude, why would you even post that you didnt learn anything from the video? I loved the lemons your Awsome!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Why is that rude? I mean she gave a compliment about saying it was enjoyable to watch? So she already knew how to shop clearance? That’s not being rude!

      • Lori

        I thought it was rude to say you didn’t learn anything. It is follow me monday, not coupon class!! She states what the topic is if you know everything don’t watch. I think it is great fun to follow. I loved the lemons. It took me until the end to realize they were reappearing on purpose. I love this site!!!

        • flipfloppingmamma

          I don’t think she was being totally rude. I think she was trying to say she thought the lemons were funnier that what she learned. Everyone just take a deep breath and go drink some lemon water. It’ll be all right! 🙂

  40. Linda

    I loved the video, as always. “You and your crew” are to be commended for providing us with all the insight on how to get the most for our money. You are such a joy and a blessing to so many families. We love your ZEST for life. Wishing you the best always.

  41. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Lol….I was still recovering from your little 75% off song when I totally lost it over the lemons. ROTFL!!!! I always get so excited for the 75% off signs too…..I scored those fold up chairs for soccer games and such for $3.74 last week…yippee!!!

  42. Suzy

    One laugh after another….. Love the lemons, miss the secerts you whisper into the camera… I guess it is better for your back in the long run…. Keep running with the lemons!

  43. Kelly

    Ok, that was so fun to watch. It was informative and I got to play the game…Find the Lemon!I have a desire to go get some great clearance deals and drink a big glass of lemonade!

  44. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Gotta love the lemons!

    My 3 year old loves watching your videos with me. She calls you “The Croupon Lady who helps us save money”.

  45. Nikki

    Did you get your hair cut? You hair looks SO cute in this weeks episode. Not that it doesn’t usually, it just looks like you did something different 🙂
