Follow Hip2Save on Instagram for good vibes and good deals. ❤️

We love that Instagram makes it easy for our team to hop on stories and share unedited videos, whether it be a HOT deal, a product we’re loving or NOT loving, a lookalike, a money-saving tip, or maybe something more personal. We’re able to share so much video content there that we’re not able to on the site, so come join us! 🤗


Don’t miss our farewell to Erica! 🥹❤️ After Over 11 Years at Hip2Save, She’s Moving On…

Erica and Collin

Our founder, Collin, hopped on Instagram stories this morning to share about Erica’s departure from Hip2Save after rockin’ it with us for over 11 years. Check out our stories to catch up on what’s next for her. It’s definitely an emotional rollercoaster saying goodbye.

Here’s what Collin shared with our team this morning: 

I have some bittersweet news to share with everyone. Tomorrow, Friday, will be Erica’s last day with us. 😭

Oh change, you are not easy!

Over the past 11 years, Erica has been an invaluable part of the Hip2Save team, bringing her dedication, creativity, and warmth to everything she does. Before her time with Hip2Save, she was a HUGE part of my family’s life. I think she was around 19 when I hired her as our babysitter. I am so grateful our paths crossed all those years ago. So, in one way or another, we’ve been working together for over a decade and a half.

Erica, thank you for walking into my life and leaving such a positive mark. You’ve taught me so much about life and friendship. Your presence has been a blessing, and I’m endlessly grateful for the memories we’ve shared.

She also shared these quotes that she said deeply resonate with her during this bittersweet time.

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”


“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”


You could win FREE DoorDash!

Collin put together a farewell video for Erica that you can watch on our Insta stories. She also posted a question box after the farewell video for you to leave your name and address. We’re sending out DoorDash treats to a handful of you to celebrate Erica’s time at Hip2Save!

Collin has also been giving away hundreds of dollars worth of prizes in her monthly giveaways.

Every month, Collin gives away two HUGE boxes filled with stuff she loves. For the month of April, she’ll be giving away hundreds of dollars worth of prizes including BOGG bags, Stanley tumblers and much, much more! Stay tuned…


We have a new Mystery Box highlight tab where our team sends Collin surprise packages to open.

Our team started a new weekly tradition where we send Collin a totally random product and she opens and tests it live on Instagram! It’s fun to watch her reaction to these unexpected surprises and it’s such an authentic way to get her initial reaction to something that may be trending so we know if it’s really worth the money or not.

Let’s just say many of the products so far have been fails. 🤭

You can see past products by clicking our Mystery Box highlight tab or you can try viewing them at this link.


Our team shares on-trend and budget-friendly wardrobe and home finds. 

We LOVE a great find whether for our wardrobes or homes. Our team is always sharing their absolute favorites and we can’t stop obsessing over these viral planters Collin recently shared! They’re perfect for spring and will make your space look totally refreshed!

If there’s one thing our whole team excels at, it’s keeping it honest and real with our followers. Plus, we love to post and share relatable content that makes all of us laugh and know we’re not alone. This video of Collin pranking her husband with fart spray was by far our favorite yet for 2024. 🤣

  7. Kris10

    Is there any other way maybe Facebook! I am trying to limit my social media sites; time and focus on lifeπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’. Do you do the same on your stories on facebook?

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes, we do auto-share our stories to Facebook, so you can watch them there instead. πŸ€— I just find that sometimes there are more glitches on FB stories.

  9. Jlinsey

    I wish I was better at Instagram 🀣. I go on it but don’t know what I’m doing. I give myself an A for effort but in reality it’s F.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Aww! I felt the same way at first too, Jlinsey. ❀️ I found a few accounts that I like to follow (like Hip2Save πŸ˜‰) and just check their pages – or they pop up on my feed. Hoping you find it gets easier with time! 🀞 If you run into a snag, send us a message there and we’ll help you out! πŸ€—

    So sad to see her go but happy she is following her dreams!!
    Quick question- I have been a Hip2Saver since the very beginning, but just recently started following on Instagram. How do I sign up for the chance to win one of her awesome monthly boxes?? Thanks so much for ALL you ALL do!!

    • Erica (Silly Sidekick)

      Thank you so much, Monique! It means a lot! ❀️

      To win a box, you will need to tune into IG stories (especially towards the end of the month) where Collin will tell you exactly what you need to do to enter! Usually, it consists of liking various posts on our feed, maybe sharing with a friend, etc! Collin gathers various products for the monthly box giveaway and shows them off on stories all month long! It’s super fun! 🀩

  13. Yasuko J
