"Follow Me Monday" Q&A With Collin & Ma!
Well, today’s “Follow Me Monday” video is once again me sitting on the couch, answering questions, being lazy… BUT this time I have a special guest! 😉
As you may remember, I had you all email in questions that you were hoping I could answer. I received a total of 25 pages worth of questions, so just like the previous “Follow Me Monday” video I’m at it again trying to answer as many questions as I can– which is not very many due to my rambling.
Enjoy!
**If you can’t see the video, then go here to watch it.
That was the greatest spot – you have a very cool grandma!!
Love it! Your grandma is great. You need to get on her about paying that much for cereal! Thanks for all your hard work (: Love grandma dancing at the end
Thanks for another entertaining and informative video! I could never do this with my grandma since she is hard of hearing….huh? what? huh? Your grandma is so sweet and funny. You must take after her about not getting embarrased easily….she will even dance for the camera. Thanks for all the deals!
Loved your grandma! I bet she could teach me some dance moves. 😉
Awesome! I can tell Ma is so proud of you and your site. That’s adorable! Thanks for the great tips. I had no idea how to use the BOGO coupons with the BOGO in-store deals.
collin, your gma is the cutest! thanks for answering our questions and for your videos. one of the reasons i love your blog (other than the fact that you do such a great job) is that i feel like i know you! if you ever come to cleveland, let’s do dinner. i’ll buy the lemonade. 🙂
I already was going to comment and say your grandmother is adorable and then she busted out the dance! It was awesome! And I love her tee shirt too!!!
That was so cute Great video cant wait til next week
I loved, loved , loved your video!! Your grandma is the cutest! I will definately remember her advice everytime I go through the coupon nazis or the angry people in back of me lol
=]
I forgot to mention the dance! that was awesome and loved her shirt too!
My daughter and I watched this together. Thank you! It is hip 2 save!
SO SWEET! So appreciate your website and all your hardwork and love getting to meet you and your family over the weeks! Keep rockin’!
I want to hang out with Ma! What a blast she is!
Loved Ma, loved the shirt, loved the video and loved the dance!
oops – also – thanks for working hard for us to get these great deals!
Dear Collin,
I just want to say Ma is so cool. My grandma just passed away about a month ago and I so miss her. Seeing this makes me miss her even more. She tought me about the lemonade deal…. long time ago. and she also had a silly little dance we called the chicken dance…I love hearing about her deal… post some pics of the family home!!!! would love to see Ma’s deal then and now!!! much love for your hard work!!! it really helps my family !!! hugs Jules
LOL!!! i love it. your ma is about the cutest thing! i adore your sweet relationship with her.
Aww! Your Grandma is so fun…love the dance 🙂 Thanks for your video, so entertaining. I also really like you animal print decor.
Awww I love love love it! I’ve been following your blog now for over a year now! I had no ide when you started it though! Nice to know I wasn’t that far behind! lol
Love It! Love It! Love It!!!! Informative from You And Encouraging from Your Grandma! I really felt so good with your Grandma’s words! AGreat team work!!!!! Thanks Collin = )
Great video, and I love your zebra-print chairs and cushions! 🙂
Collin, Thanks so much for sharing! My Grandmother is just about my FAVORITE person!! She’s 96 years old… and she’s so spunky!! You will treasure this video for years I’m sure!!
I loved this video! Ma is adorable and a great dancer!
LOVE YOU MA!!!!!!!!
This was the cutest video!! I love your grandma, makes me miss my grandma 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Ma is sooo cute!! She reminds me a lot of my Grandma. My Grandma was frugal to the core! Growing up, we never went to the store to shop, we shopped Grandma’s stockpile!! Hugs to Ma!
What a fun video! Though I didn’t learn a whole lot, only because I have been following you since almost when you first started (well, I guess I learned that!), it was very entertaining and encouraging! Thanks again for all you and your family do!
Love your Grandma! You can’t beat a good real estate deal – love it. My Mom started me with coupons when my son was a baby. He is twenty-eight. I love your blog. Thanks much.
Colin, your Grandma is a riot! I am so glad that I logged in one last time for today. You come from good stock girlie. I really enjoy your good karma and positive outlook. Keep up the good work. We love ya!
Ma is ADORABLE! LOVE IT LOVE IT! She is one proud grandma:) How exciting to share this with her:) Thanks for all you do. I have been saving money like crazy, because of you! By the way, $3 something for cereal on sale??!?!?!?!?! That is crazy. Teach grandma a thing or to will ya or ship her cereal once a month, that just is crazy. My price point for cereal is about .50 a box and I get that pretty often:):) Take Care. Bye Ma! Have a safe trip!
Awesome video Collin! Your Grandmother is great! I was right at home with her accent, most of my family lives on Cape Cod. 🙂
Oh my gosh! How great is your grandma? This was one of the best follow me monday vidoes yet. She’s awesome 🙂 Thanks for sharing your time with us…you should really take her shopping before she goes home and stock her up on some cereal and shampoo and stuff 🙂
Probally going to think Im a dork, but Im only 28 and all my Grandparents have passed on more than 5+ years ago. Before I became a stay at home Mom I used to work with Senior Citizens as a Program Coordinator for a Rec Senior Center. Just being around Grandparents it brings a smile to my face and a few memories go through my mind and kind of just make me feel at peace. Your Grandmother is ADORABLE…and just seeing your few interactions with her, make me think you have the same relationship I did at one time and actually made me shed a happy tear while watching this video! Spend as much time and Cherish your “MA” as I already know you do. 🙂 Oh and when you got near the end and said okay this email is from Crystal…I was like oohh its mine LOL…and it so was not…maybe next time! Apparantly your already read a ton from Michigan during this video!
Eeek! I waited until it was quiet in my house to watch and now it won’t work here or on the youtube channel – Help! I need my “Follow Me Monday” fix!! It starts fine but then these little circles come up and spin and it freezes every 6-7 seconds. Can anyone help?
First I want to say thanks for working SO hard for finding deals for us. Your grandmother is so adorable…makes me miss my grandmother who passed away 2 years ago…she did use coupons and actually kept track of her savings…LOL. She was still alive when I started couponing and she use to say that I got it from her 😀 Everytime I am at the store…mainly Publix…I always apologize to the person behind me for the delay and I always different reactions…some ignore me, some praise me, some ask how to I do it and where I get coupons but I must say…the cashiers are always interested in how much I saved. Anyways…thanks again for you HARD work Collin!!! I love HIP2SAVE!!!
What a great video! Your grandmother is absolutely adorable!
My parents live in Massachusetts, and my mom tries to do lots of her grocery shopping at Aldi in Raynham, MA. You can get good quality cereals there for about $1.50. She shops there every 3-4 months with her best friend, and buys enough frozen meat & fruit, and paper goods for the next few months.
I text my sister and mom the WGs deals every week, and they love them.
I totally scored a deal on the Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner today- paid $2.99 for both a starter kit and the refill. I lost the Target $5 gift card coupon (oh well), but still made off pretty well, and will turn in a second SC Johnson rebate when I get Ziploc bags soon (BOGO). The teenage guy cashier was super impressed. 😉
And I totally went through my closets and cupboards last night, and donated 2 grocery bags full of stuff to a local food bank. They were so excited to get the stuff, and it was great to empty out my space.
Thanks Collin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and I stopped off at a grocery store on my way home from Target, and saved more than I spent. I love it!!!!
your grandmother rocks!!!
thank you both
I loved your video and your grandma. Her spunkiness reminds me a lot of my own grandmother who died last year at 92. My husband always wanted me to take lessons from her about how to save on our grocery bill. I’m saving more than her now and eating the foods we love (grandma cut corners and ate the least expensive items she could find!). Thank you for your hard work and for introducing us to more of your family.
Collin, you have quite the HIP Grandma 🙂
Oh my gosh..your gramma is adorable! I take my mom shopping with me almost everyday. We get a walk in and score somedeals. At 89 she is an extreme couponer!
I really like what your grandma said ” Don’t let anybody ever discourage you, keep on going…” that put a smile on my face. 🙂 That quote can be applied into following your dreams/goals and not giving up on them. 🙂
By the way I’m writing that quote down on paper and putting it on my wall board for inspiration! 🙂 thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this video. I hope those of us who worry about the line behind us will be inspired by Ma’s advice. Yes, It is Hip to Save!
Ma is awesome! I did miss the written comments on the video. Those are always the best! 🙂 I also just wanted to say that I scored .75 cent deodorant at walgreens without a coupon. I am in the first stages of couponing so I have not gotten to spend cents on health/beauty products yet.
Ok, your grandma just absolutely made my day… I needed a good giggle with her dancing. She is just precious… it is obvious how proud she is of you and your website:)
Wonderful video…. lucky, lucky you to have your grandma with you. My tip: Ask her lots of questions, about her life, her husbands, your mom, dad, aunts and uncles. Have her write names on all the photos; one day (when you are much older) you will have so many questions and won’t be able to get answers. Enjoy every minute with her.
You go, Grandma! You seriously rock!
Well now we know where you get your awesome personality from. Love your Ma and her shirt and dance.
Give her a “squeeze” from all of us.
Hello Grandmaw from Russellville Ky. Love ya !!! Great video Collin , thanks so much for all you do.
Love it….love it….love it….thanks for the smile!!! Thanks for all you do for us Collin!!
That video was AWESOME! LOVE IT! Very HIP!!!!
Best video ever! I just want to squeeze that cute little grandma! Love her!
