Here’s what our Hip2Save team members have been up to when we’re off the clock…
We’re back with more exciting behind-the-scenes at Hip! 🤩
We’re continuing our super fun off-the-clock Hip series and giving you all a sneak peek into our lives behind the scenes every month!
Each month, we share Hip deals our team has personally scored, something we’re doing, or something we’re currently reading! We’re excited to bring you along for the journey with us so thanks for being here, Hipsters! ❤️
Here’s what our team has been up to in October:
Shane and Jacee have some big news to share with everyone!
Remember when we shared how Shane met his girlfriend through Hip?! Well, they recently came back from a Las Vegas trip engaged and we couldn’t be more thrilled for them! 😍
Check out this adorable Wordle Shane created for the proposal! 🥰
Since Wordle was a game they often played at the beginning of their long-distance relationship, it was a no-brainer to incorporate it into his super thoughtful proposal. Although there’s no Hip deal spin on this team highlight, we still can’t get over that Hip2Save brought them together in the first place! 🤩
Huge congrats to you, Shane, and Jacee! ❤️
Shane, Lina, and Chelsey got together to welonlinee them home and say congrats in person!
How adorable are our Hip sidekicks?! 😍 It’s not often any of us get to spend quality time together in person so when it happens we sure do love to share it with the rest of the team (and all of you!).
And all of them said if you’re ever in the Pheonix, Arizona area, Luci’s at the Orchard is a must-visit!
Alli and her husband visited her sister in Pennsylvania while booking frugal stays and learned some exciting news!
Alli and her husband got into town a day early and booked an incredible deal on their hotel through Hotwire. Then, they booked the remainder of their stay through Airbnb which she says is always her favorite (and most frugal) way to travel.
Even more exciting, they learned her sister has another beautiful baby girl on the way onlinee January! 🥰
Hip Tip: Want some insider tips on using Airbnb? Here’s how our team saves big every time we book with Airbnb.
Here’s some super hot deals our team has scored this month:
Chelsey and her kiddos have been staying busy with crafts that they either DIY’d or bought for an amazing price.
On Chelsey’s son’s last day of Fall break, she wanted to find a quick and easy craft to do at home that wasn’t your typical cookie-cutter craft. Although she used a Target Circle offer to score this kit at 20% off, it’s still a great price even without a discount! Better yet, she said they turned out SO GREAT, it was fun for everyone, and they tasted great so nothing went to waste. Win, win!
Crayola Air Dry Clay – $5.34 (regularly $8.78)
Aside from this awesome Target find, Chelsey, DIY’d fluffy witch slime, ghost tealights, eyeball push/nightlights, and even a pizza with ghost-shaped mozzarella. 😍 #momgoals
How adorable are these mini ghosts made out of air-dry clay? And it’s on sale!
Jessica scooped up this Halloween inflatable for under $20.
This impressive 8-foot high and 7-foot long inflatable is perfect if you’re looking for a fun last-minute Halloween decoration to add to your yard. Jessica said her daughter absolutely LOVES plugging it in and watching it inflate so it’s been a great addition to their yard.
We simply can’t believe the price and it’s received so many onlinepliments already!
Jessica also scooped up this Halloween tree after seeing our Hip sidekick, Lina’s! 🤩
Ceramic Halloween Tabletop Tree – $24.99 (regularly $64.99)
Even if you don’t grab this piece before Halloween, it’s timeless and definitely something you’ll look forward to taking out every year to onlinee. Both Lina and Jessica have said this tree is one of their favorite Halloween decorations in their homes and we couldn’t love it more!

Melissa and her husband saved money on a contractor by building their own firepit.
Our Hip sidekick, Melissa, LOVES doing home projects so it’s no surprise they skipped a contractor for their new firepit and they certainly saved money too! She said they bought the firepit ring on Amazon, the pavers from Lowe’s, and the black Adirondack chairs from Home Depot.
Up next will be pea gravel to onlineplete the firepit area and landscaping which they’ll of course do themselves too. 😉 Looking great, you two!
Here’s a few books our team finished reading this month:
Emily said Atomic Habits changed her life and it will change yours too.
Atomic Habits – $9.99+
- Or listen to it FREE with an Amazon Audible Membership!
To Emily, saying this book is kind of life-changing would be a big understatement. In fact, she’d reonlinemend it to anyone reading this post! It’s full of tiny actionable changes to help build good habits and break bad ones. And she said the science behind why it works is pretty fascinating too.
She listened to it on Audible, but you can also buy the book on Amazon!
Our Hip sidekick, Jessica, also read this book and loves it!
Jessica also said this is SUCH a great read! She said it teaches you how to make big changes in your life by doing small things so it’s not overwhelming. In fact, they have raved about it so much I ALSO bought this book before I finished typing this. 😆
And to hold myself accountable, I’ll be sure to keep you posted next month!
Alli said An Honest Lie caught her off guard and she finished it in just two days.
An Honest Lie – $11.99+
- Or listen to it FREE with an Amazon Audible Membership!
Alli said her favorite thing about this author is that she’s always writing about topics that catch you onlinepletely off guard making every one of her books an easy and enjoyable read. #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover said, “An Honest Lie is riveting suspense, but it’s also a scream of defiance, a howl of rage.”.
Well, Hip2Savers, on that note, we’re going to get back to bringing you all the best deals.
Happy Halloween, Hipsters! 🎃 Check out these last minute Haloween deals before our Hip team is back next month… 👋🏼
