Introducing Stetson, Hip2Save’s Newest 27-Year-Old Deal Tester
There’s a new face around here…
If you’ve been following Hip2Save recently, you may have noticed a bit more of a male presence, whether it’s the more burly looking hands in product photos or pictures of some dude chomping down on a burger. Well, that’s me! My name is Stetson Hunter, and I’m Collin’s brother-in-law. Given that association, you can probably guess how I got myself into this situation.
I’m the newest deal tester at Hip2Save, so my job consists of taking product photos, testing deal scenarios, and scoping out hot new bargains while I’m in the store. I’m also pretty handy with videography, so my position also has a big focus on bringing y’all more video content. Even though I have some strong suits in this position, let me just say that I am by no means a deal shopper, nor would I say I’m good at saving money. But my persistent sister-in-law (a.k.a. Collin) talked me into giving this whole “deal shopping” thing a try. 😬
You can watch me in action below…
(If you can’t see the video, watch here. Also, if you’re confused about the Burger King deal in the video, be sure read this post.)
I’m not going to lie. At first, I thought this job would be easy — boy, was I wrong. My co-workers (of which a majority are women) are constantly sending me all over the place to find every sort of product on the market. I’m walking into Target, Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ulta… ULTA, PEOPLE! I do not belong in that store at all, especially when I’m asked to take pictures with a product called “NO-MO BUSH”. 😳Just as concerning, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d be in a beauty aisle fighting over the last tube of Lip Smackers or YES TO face masks.
Look, I’ll be honest — I have NO idea what I am doing out here. Ideally, I would just walk into a store, grab the one item I went in for, and book it outta there when I’m done. But nooooope! It doesn’t work that way with Collin. She and the rest of the team remind me regularly that in every store I go to, there is usually a deal to be found. So it’s a hard knock life for me as I spend my day trekking through aisles in search of the next hot deal.
Some days, I’m covering my ears to fight through the cries coming from the children’s toy section where kids are sobbing over their denial of the latest Lego set. Other days, I’m suffering defeat from the self-proclaimed beauty guru who snatched up the last makeup palette, when all I needed was to take a single picture of it. Every day, I’m constantly being reminded to wear my Santa glove in pictures to keep things festive. And then it’s usually at the end of each day when I’m asked to drive all the way back across town to check in on the latest deal discovery. 🙄
But, please forgive my banter as this job has been extremely entertaining so far. It’s only the beginning and I’m sure as I continue to learn, I’ll get the hang of it one of these days. Until then, I’ve got my camera in hand, so I’ll be keeping you all updated with my day-to-day life as a Hip2Save deal tester.
Welcome Stetson!
Welcome Stetson! Look forward to seeing more of you 🙂
Welcome Stetson!!! Love the name and looking forward to the male perspective.
Welcome. Cant wait 4 your contributions …God bless.

Welcome!

LOVE your down to earth honesty and being willing to DEFINITELY go out of your comfort zone! That says a lot about you right there! 🙂 You’re going to do great! You get FREE food to boot! 😉
Happy fun, enjoy and WELCOME!!
Ummmm…..this should be fun!
I can’t wait to see what Stetson has in store. My husband would pay double to not use a coupon. And triple if he didn’t have to wait in line!
My bf is the same way…drives me up the wall! I’ve phrased the question every possible way & the answer is always the same, “yes, I’d rather pay more than use a coupon.” Doesn’t matter if it saves $.50 or $5!
Finally someone who gets me!! 😉😂 thanks for sharing.
Hi Collin, can I be one of your Deal Testers too, please? Im sure I will enjoy doing this for you. PLEASE. I live in SC
Hilarious Intro! Looking forward to seeing more of you!
I love this dude
what’s wrong with a man walk into ULTA, taking products picture with the Santa gloves? haha..
Welcome to the H2S family!
I had not noticed the burley looking hands, which is surprising because I notice all of the teams fingernail polish choices…wait….is Stetson testing fingernail polish for an Ulta deal??!?😂
😬 you will never know…haha
Thanks for watching out.
Welcome to the craziness Stetson! As far as tasting those burgers…well, it’s a dirty job, but thanks for taking one for the team! 🙂

Fun Read!
Welcome to the Hip2save family Stetson!!
Welcome Stetson! Btw, I LOVE the name, wish I had thought of that when my son was born almost 16 years ago! 😊
Loved this post! Handsome AND a deal finder?! #goals 😉
Welcome Stetson! Great intro. I have to say I see Men in Ulta, yes most look confused lol. But they have pretty employees who would gladly help you. And I never thought Collin and gangs job was easy! I can’t keep up with the posts. And daily wonder “how are they doing all of this?? How many people are working for hip2save??” Lol. You are brave for joining in. Have fun and thank you for your help with our savings
Welcome Stetson and Good Luck. By the way I have a Stetson in my closet.
Welcome! Love your video -made me laugh!
Well, I’m very pleased to meet you. And yes, which Applebees are we meeting at? I guess I need a road trip anyway.
I thought he would ad deals that young men would like. Like free food and drinks, golf, sports stuff…
That is great!!
Stetson, you’re a hottie!!!
Here’s to Hip2Save dudes!! I appreciate all you all do to help our family save. Been checking in daily for over a decade!
If your responsible for the D&D deal… keep me coming!!! I need more deals for the men in my life!!!
Nope, that one was actually found by one of the gals on the team! LOL! Though, we have another male writer that was sure to snatch that one up ASAP!
Welcome Stetson! Great video and hilarious post 😁 Nice recruiting Collin!
You are doing great!!Keep up the good work.
Perhaps next time you are at Applebee’s for the the Jolly Rancher vodka drinks you can ask for the vodka hold the Jolly Rancher and you would be more than willing to pay the same price. That is what a true deal seeker would do 😀
Hilarious, entertaining read! I see the humor is a family thing! 🙂
Welcome!! Thank you for everything you do!!
Welcome to the BEST EVER DEAL SAVINGS TEAM, Stetson! It was a hoot to read and watch your video. You keep it REAL! Great way to end the day! Looking forward to reading and seeing more of your articles/videos!
Your video is great!! I have to admit though that I had to go back and read the post about the penny Whopper. While watching the video I just could not figure out why you went to McDonalds to get a Whopper. Lol 😂
