    LOL LOVE IT!!!

  2. Melissa @West Michigan Mommy

    Hilarious, cute & informative video. 🙂

  3. Viv

    The rummage sales lady’s husband didn’t look like he wanted to participate at all! Haha! If i was her I would not let him touch the brand new and FREE laptop!

    • Jan

      He was probably just tired after she stole him away from studying his Greek and Hebrew…we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt 🙂

  4. Nicole Libertoski

    that was hillarious and helpful

  5. vicki

    Sorry but he had no personality just sitting there. Kinda scary looking…

    • Sara

      He was probably embarrassed!

      • Sara

        He has that famous “Somebody help me, my wife is a crazy coupon lady” look 🙂 He’s wondering how he let her drag him into that!

    • Laura

      If I put my husband in the video, he would just sit there too lol

      • Alla

        LOL. I agree with you girls. My husband would have done the same. He is super shy & I even have to make him sit like a baby for a photo. I am completely opposite to that 🙂 That’s my husband’s personality and I totally respect that. We all are different afterall 😉

  6. Rudy

    I want her to WIN!

    • Rudy

      LOL. I just saw she WAS the winner in 2010! oops!

  7. Dawn

    that was awesome.

  8. Laura

    What an adorable woman! She put so much effort into that. I am so glad she won.

  9. Melanie M

    She is too cute! Glad she won!

  10. rachel

    Ok maybe this is a stupid question, but is a Rummage sale the same thing as a garage sale?

    • Danielle

      Yep. So is a yard sale and a moving sale. If there is no garage, the name can change (ie. rummage and yard sales). Also, a moving sale is when someone is moving… so there is usually better finds.

  11. melanie

    OMgosh, I was just going to comment that she’d better win, she’s hillarious, but then I see she DID win in 2010! Good for her, she deserved it!!

  12. Lara

    hey, glad she pulled some creativity into it! Poor guy tho.. Loved the video! Way to go!

  13. michelle

    my fave is still the Rapper Hip2Save video! Those kids are a hoot..post that one again!!! Pleease!

  14. kristinkay

    That video was awesome! Glad I didn’t already put in the effort to make a video though…if those are the kind of videos I’d be up against. Stiff competition because that was great!

  15. Pamela

    Absolutely loved it!!! She was great. I LOVE yard sales!!!

  16. Craig

    Thumbs up if you were here back then when this first was aired. 🙂 She did a great job too. Good points made!

  17. robby69

    OMG, she must have watched too many of Collin’s videos… as the video went on, she talked more and more like Collin, mannerisms and everything. LOL

  18. Caitlin Stuart

    I loved her video, but I have a tip for yard sellers, too! Don’t have a yard sale for the things you buy.. eBay it, or consign it! You will MAKE money on it, I promise! I sold a 30 piece lot of yard sale clothes my son outgrew on eBay a couple of months ago for $139!

    I’m seriously considering doing one of these videos. 🙂 I could certainly use a new computer for my grad school studies.

  19. Kari

    Loveeee it thanks sooo much u rock

  20. Jean

    I was only going to watch the first few minutes, but I could not stop watching. What a great video! I’m glad she won.

  21. Sophie

    This video was great! I had forgotten all about this contest! It was so fun to see the submissions! I am excited for this years as I am not talented enough to do my own but will sure have fun watching everyone elses!

  22. Sandy (aka the rummage sale lady)

    Wow! I’m totally embarrassed that this got posted again, but thanks everyone! The Macbook has been a HUGE HUGE blessing!!! Thanks Collin and everyone who voted for me. And yes, my husband is an introvert if you couldn’t tell. 😉

    • Bethany

      Sandy, I don’t think I stopped giggling once through this! The rapping was just so unexpected! You did make some great points, and you’ve made me excited to check out some garage sales! Thanks!

    • coupon connie

      Loved it! You are so brave and a great match for an introverted husband! I couldn’t stop watching! I am a huge garage saler in the midwest too, and you are right on!

  23. yellowshare

    Rummage sale lady, it looked like you were burning lots of calories doing the video! Making one of these videos could be a weight loss program. 🙂 (for us who need to lose weight, that is)

  24. rena

    amazing!!!!!! I am giving her my vote!!!! She deserves to win!!!!!!!! You rock girl..

  25. Shaana

    The Rummage Sale Lady was adorable! I love her enthusiasm! What lucky kids to have such a FUN mom! Eventhough I have been shopping rummage and yard sales for years, I still learned a few new tips!! Good job!

  26. vicki

    That was awesome! Good job! Great tips too. 🙂

  27. April M.

    That was great-she did a great job and I am glad she won then!

  28. sheeba m@DesiSavingMom.com

    The Rummage Lady totally deserved the prize…what a lot of work and creativity as well as good pointers on the video…wow…i have to be struck with lightening to get to this standard…

  29. Crystal
