OK... with all that has been going on, I am very excited to be able to post this "Follow Me Monday" video and on time! It's exactly 11:50 PM CST, so for lots of you this video made it on Monday! Yay!
Now I will tell you, this video is completely pointless. I try to cook some Christmas goodies to share with all of you, but as you'll see, I am NOT good in the kitchen! I won't be linking to any of the recipes I try and make in the video! Why? Well, watch the video to see!;-)
If you can't see the video, then go here to watch it!
I miss you guys so much! ...AND I so miss finding the deals and sharing them with all of you! I cannot wait until my new site is up and running! Thanks so much for your patience!

My friends and I had a mommy's night out this evening and all chatted over happy hour about how much we miss your hip2save website and getting the great deals! Hope you are up and running soon! We miss you!
ReplyDeleteMissing your blog. I did mangage to make it through CVS and Wags on my own, but it was a lot more work. I'm sure I missed some things too.
ReplyDelete**waiting as patiently as possible in central IN**
I did get a laugh out of that thank you so much! It reminds me of my endeavors in the kitchen! Thanks for doing that and I appreciate your effort and ideas! =) It did crack me up though hehe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me laugh....I have had a long day and it's late and this was a good ending. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome. I tried to make peanut butter balls the other night and I should've made a fun video too! It was a disaster. I just turned off the stove and left everything and went to bed, lol. Can't wait until you're back to blogging!! I have no place to stalk all day! :) Merry Christmas Collin!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny! I couldnt stop laughing. At least it looked like you guys were having fun! I miss your blog! I hope everything is going smoothly! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry we love your videos!
ReplyDeleteCollin, you are so awesome! It doesn't matter if the recipes didn't turn out, it was so fun to watch....I appreciate how "real" you are. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and can't wait till your back up and running again. Thanks for all you do. Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteOK this was just way too funny.This just goes to show that if you put your mind to it you can do anything. Besides we learn from doing. The next time (if there is a next time) you make these you'll know better how to do it. Thanks for making us feel like we can do anything.Now we know why people appreciate home made gifts so much.(they are a lot of hard work) Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCollin, I did get a good laugh! Thank you for all of your hard work. Can't wait until the new site is up and running! I have been to other "money saving sites", but they just aren't the same. Wishing your family a wonderful "Merry Christmas!".

miss you I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteFun video! I'm not much into baking, but at least I got my Hip2Save fix for the day:) Is that a little Rat Terrier I see bopping around in the background? Looks just like our dog:) Anyway, I'm anxious to see your new website...and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteI must say, it is pretty ridiculous how much I adore you and your shenangans.
ReplyDelete(So writing that officially sounds creepy. Let's just establish right now that it isn't! Thank you! And thank you for all the work you do on your blog. I do look forward to its return. I too made my drugstore rounds yesterday. It went fine, but I have this feeling like I may be missing out on some deal therein. lol.)
You're the best Collin. I hope you get to enjoy some of this offline time even though I'm sure it's a bit hectic sorting through and reorganizing things.
Girl it's a lot of work making rounds to all the deal sites and other blogs trying to see if any good deal exist! You are the one blog "I can't live without" LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteOh and no worries! Half of my Christmas baking gets trashed but the recipents are none the wiser b/c I do give them whatever turns out good. They will never understand the heck you put yourself through trying out new challenging recipes. PS I think I'll try the fudge for my hubby next year!
Great video! If nothing else, you gave us all a chuckle and a smile today! Thanks Collin!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too!! Can't wait until your site is back up also.
ReplyDeleteI too tried making truffles but I made oreo truffles. They actually came out pretty good, a few ppl wanted the recipe..shocking, nothing like the picture though. The cookie dough truffles sound really good,think I'm gonna try those also. But just a little tip that I figured out as I was making my truffles, it's easier to roll the the dough into balls and cover them with chocolate if you refrigerate the dough for a few hours (you could probably even freeze them), it makes it easier and less messy and it looks a little better as well, still won't come out like the picture tho, they never do anyway.
You are a riot. You had my daughter (she's 5)giggling over your cooking attempts.
ReplyDeleteBooooo to blogger. I've had enough of you being gone. I have several different deal sites I check out but yours is the only one that is the WHOLE package.
Any news on how much longer it will be before your new site is up? I'm so sad without it!
ReplyDeleteLMAO......It just proves you are just like the rest of us....Love the video and would love to try the recipes....Thanks...PS. I make the pretzel rods and they turned out perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. My 3 yo looked at the green lasagna, stuck out her tongue and said," Yuck! I'm not eating that!" The rest of the time she was giggling. This happens to me plenty. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteMelanie
Still smiling - thanks to you and your camera lady - cute cute
ReplyDeleteAt least this mess gave you a nice vacation and (hopefully) plenty of time to finish your Christmas shopping!
ReplyDeleteWell, everything SOUNDS waterly appetizing! BUT, things don't always turn out the way they look on tv or the computer! Besides, I think truffles are one of the harder things to make if I remember correctly!
ReplyDeleteI think the video is great! It lets others like me know we're not the only ones that can never make it the way it looks in the picture lol. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteCollin...you are sooo awesome...who else could screw up in such a cute way and then come away even more charming that when you began! Well, just keep trying! Thanks so much for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteMiss your blog so much! I can not wait for it to be up and running again. I loved the video and love that you can laugh at yourself. Thank you for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! My husband commented,"At least she didn't pay much for the ingredients!" =) I really miss reading your blog, can't wait til you're up and running again. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI am so missing your blog! I hope the issue gets resolved soon. I have no desire to attempt Walgreens without your help.
ReplyDeletelol. This was a good laugh! This is exactly what happens to me in the kitchen EVERY time! I swear I'm only good at grilled cheese sandwiches! lol. Thanks a ton Collin, I really miss your site!!! Hurry....I hate searching out good deals on my own, you really make it so easy for all of us, we're spoiled!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI miss your blog so much! I still check it 2-3 times a day and am disappointed everytime. Boo!
ReplyDeleteI have found that after many disasters with truffles that they should be put in the freezer for about 2 -3 hours before dipping them in the chocolate! I made 3 different types this year and baout 14 dozen.
Miss your blog! Okay, so after watching your "cooking show" I just wanted to let you know that you really need to get some Demarle bakeware in your kitchen! It makes everything look amazing, cook beautifully, healthy and non-stick and lifetime warranty. It's a little pricey, but will change your life! I was a non-believer at first, but now in love with it all!!! Never use pam, oil, flour, etc and it is always non-stick!
ReplyDeleteI miss you - and I loved watching your attempts at baking and cooking :)
ReplyDeleteMERRY CHRISTMAS!
You are so funny. I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThere are toes wiggling in the video at the end. Bottom left of the video. Too funny!
Despite everything that is going on, thank you for continuing with your videos.
ReplyDeleteI really needed that.....Just seeing your awesome personality brightened my day!! I needed a good laugh.....it was like watching an accident happen, i couldnt turn away lol....when you went to put the "cookie dough" in the oven, priceless....hope you have a great holiday!!
ReplyDeleteMy Sisiter in law just introduced me to your site about a week before it shut down. I got really interested and its killing me to not be able to read it. I can't wait until you get it back on. Good luck on launching it. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOMG COllin! I was just telling my computer out loud that chocolate sticks to foil and then your little words came up that said FYI chocolate sticks to foil. LOL. I cannot stop laughing and I am so glad we got our collin fix before Christmas. Thank you and have a Great Holiday.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to get a good chuckle now everytime I think about truffles! Too funny, thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteKind of off topic but over the last 1-2 week I started receiving some of the stuff I order from the great deals Collin posted. Overall, WOW! I am super excited with everything. I got those Lena Crocs, not too bad for $10 bucks they will go great with jeans. The Bebe tshirt, was amazing I love it. The Weekend bags from Woman Within were just what I wanted, they are great to stuff with some of the freebies we get to give as a gift. My favorite was the ELF order I just got today for $1 each item I can not complain, I LOVED it! Please come back soon Hip 2 Save!
ReplyDeleteCollin... I miss you too! lol. And yes, as one of the other bloggers up there commented, that sounds a bit creepy, but it's TRUE! I love watching your videos, even when things don't turn out the way you'd hoped :) You are so real, I feel like I know you just from reading your blog all the time! I swear we could be SUCH good friends if only we weren't thousands of miles apart... lol! My husband told me the other day that it was "weird" I felt that way because we've never met... But I just don't think he gets how much we all can bond over similar interests on the web. Here's hoping you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!! Can't WAIT for your new blog to be up! :)
ReplyDeleteI miss your site, Thank you for working so hard to find us all these great deals. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteWhether your videos have a point to them or not, I always totally enjoy them and look forward to them every week! I wish I could hang out with you! You look like you have a great time and would be fun to hang with!
ReplyDeleteI am totally laughing at seeing your video. Now to tell the truth i find deals in all your post but these videos are for the weekly laughter sessions. I love your funny videos. dont say you dont have any point in doing videos becoz the point is to make us laugh and i am laughing.
ReplyDeleteYou ROCK!!! I am laughing my head off right now- Loved the video!
ReplyDeleteWhere do I go for the Receipe? Loved the video. :)
ReplyDeleteo my gosh! You had me laughing so hard. That is EXACTLY what would've gone down if I tried the same thing. Seriously quality footage!
ReplyDeleteOMG I am laughing so hard right now (as I bake 8 loaves of made to order banana bread for christmas gifts). All I could think when I saw the green lasagna was EWW - it wouldn't matter if it was the most delicious thing in the world no way would my kids (or my hubby) ever eat that. I think everyone that visits your site regularly and takes the time to watch your video's enjoyed the good laugh at a stressful time of the year, I know I did. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You need my help girlie!
ReplyDeleteLOL I desperately wish you lived close to me - we would be *DANGEROUS* together!!!!! I think our personalities are so similar - we could sell tickets to watch our "humor" (a.k.a. life) unfold! =)
ReplyDeleteThis is so stinkin' hilarious- I've put it into my favorites!
I think you should do a cooking video at least once every other month!!! =)
Oh! By the way, I did notice how light out it was and by the end how dark it was - how long did it take to make all your comedy? ..er... I mean recipes? ;-)
That is the same fudge recipe I use too! I usually use walnuts, but I will definitely have to try pistachios. Can't wait until the new site is here!
ReplyDeleteYou make me feel normal! I made Ritz crackers with peanut butter dipped in chocolate (like little sandwich cookies) and mine looked just like your truffles. I think it has something to do with the type of chocolate and the temperature. But who cares what it looks like. You still made me want to try your recipes. Can't wait til your official blog is back. Hip2Save is still my favorite. Thank you for all that you do!
