Amy C.

Amy:

I am a self-proclaimed carboholic who enjoys dining out and blogging about it at Epicurean Cutie. I’m a savvy consumer who loves finding bargains on clothes, shoes, cosmetics, travel and of course food! Restaurant reviews are my expertise, and I always have good tips on where to go for the best food and deals.


Angela

Angela:

Saving money is part of who I am. I never pay full price for groceries, clothing, gardening, utilities, electronics, toys, books, home repairs, kid’s activities, cars, mortgages….anything! I aim to save; with the goal of living a healthier, greener, and more fulfilling life. You can find me on twitter @suburbanjung or on the web at The Suburban Jungle.


Annie M

Annie M:

I am a writer/deal hunter, and I specialize in hunting beauty deals for Savings.com. When I’m not hunting deals and tweeting them (follow @SavingsMbones!) I’m busy writing feature films and improvising at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. I live in Hollywood with my husband, Matt, and I’m a huge sucker for gifts with purchase.


Ashlei M

Ashlei:

There is nothing I like more than finding a great deal! After leaving the classroom after 7 years, I became a stay at home mom to my two boys. Couponing and finding deals started as something fun to do so I didn’t have to do that load of laundry that was staring at me! However, it has now become my new way of life. I now get to combine my two passions…teaching and saving money and blogging about it at Coupon Deals and Steals.


Barb L.

Barb:

I started using coupons right after my youngest son was born as a way to survive on a single income. I started with grocery coupons but quickly realized that coupons and deals were available for just about everything I needed to buy! I was hooked on savings and began a forum for women to discuss ways to save money. Today you will find me talking deals at The Coupon Cupboard or teaching other homeschooling moms how to stretch their budget and their sanity at Elementary Spirits. When I am not busy with the day to day life of raising two boys, one with special needs, I am on Twitter hanging out with all my online friends.


Bethany S.

Bethany:

I am a mother of 4 (18, 13, 8, and 6 months) and the loving wife of a wonderful man for the last 9 years. I became a super saver while I was attending college. I hated the idea that I had to put my children in daycare if I wanted to work and go to school for my masters degree so I became a super saver so that we could live off of one income and I could stay home and take care of my beautiful girls. Now I work full time as a drug and alcohol counselor but I continue to strive to find ways to save money for our large family.


Briana C.

Briana:

I founded BargainBriana.com in 2008 to share all my bargains and money saving tips with her friends and family, which has expanded into thousands of readers everyday. Not frugal by nature, I have found bargains and used coupons most of my life to maximize my return. I live in Indiana with my husband and four children ages 3, 5, 9, and 11, which is documented on my personal blog. Follow me on Twitter or Facebook Fan Page.


Carlos C.

Carlos:

I feel like the Indiana Jones of good deals! Finding a good deal is like finding a buried treasure. There is nothing like the thrill of digging through the jungle maze of ads and the pitfalls of deceitful shysters trying to obtain your money. Once you notice the price, your heart starts beating fast. Then you look at the label, and yes, it’s the real thing not a knock-off. You pick the item up and look at the weight, yes! It’s a full pound not that 12 oz stuff in the new tapered containers. You fill your cart with the last 10 items left on the shelf and run to the closest register trying not to make eye contact with the other customers. You’re at the counter, and yes, it wasn’t a miss print on the price and there are no limits. You quickly drive home and call your friends and family to tell them of your treasure before they run out at the other stores. Just another exciting adventure.


Cherie T.

Cherie:

By day, I’m a Validation Engineer for a pharmaceutical company; and by night I’m a yelper, a freebie hunter, and a deal hunter. I love to try new things, especially food. If I’m not playing bejeweled on Facebook, you’ll probably find me here: cheriet.yelp.com. Right now I’m just really excited to learn more about DealPro!


Corrie C.

Corrie:

I have always loved getting “deals”, starting back in high school with my back-to-school clothing budget. I would model the clothes I had just purchased and announce the original price, followed by how much I saved by shopping a great sale. Now, as a stay-at-home mom of 2 young boys, it’s not quite as exciting, since I’m saving on groceries and toiletries, but I still love to save money! I currently share all my favorite deals, tips on how to save money, and ways to earn a little extra money on my blog, “Cents”able Momma and on Twitter (@centsablemomma).


Crystal C.

Crystal:

I am a stay-at-home mom of two, and run the blog TheThriftyMama. There I shares deals and tips to help you live a more natural and thrifty lifestyle. If you’re looking for a site to help you find the hottest bargains to help you live more naturally, then be sure to stop by mine!

I am married to my high school sweetheart and am a work-at-home mom to two young children. I love a good deal and blog about saving money at Frugal in Virginia, where living frugal is living better. Dana can be found on Twitter @FrugalinVA.


Erika H.

Erika:

Hello frugal shoppers! My name is Erika Hilgaertner and I’m happy to have been a part of Savings.com since our beginning stages. I have always been a bargain shopper and love getting great deals, so when the opportunity presented itself to join the team I thought it was the perfect fit for my lifestyle and background in Marketing and Administration. I love working with our team of DealPros to find the best coupons and latest deals for our customers. I rarely shop without a coupon, online or in-store! When I’m not deal hunting or chasing our toddler and Border-Collie mix around the house, I enjoy cooking, wine tasting with my husband, floating down rivers with my best friend, making handcrafted jewelry, hiking and visiting with friends and family.


Erin G.

Erin:

I’m Erin Gifford and I blog at Coupon Cravings. I love to share the best retail, restaurant and drugstore deals, as well as the most fantastic freebies. You can follow me on Twitter at @eringifford.


Giovanni B.

Giovanni:

I tend to think of myself as a consummate deal seeker. One of my first deals was when I went new car shopping for the first time ever (the story is told on my car’s website…yes, my car has a website): The Road to 300. Since I have yet to buy another car (16 years and counting), you can only imagine how much that deal has saved me! Being in the technology industry affords me the luxury of staying on top of the latest and greatest. I’m always happy to guide my friends to help them get the deals they want on the products they need. I think my saving tactics have rubbed off on my wife as she’s currently on her laptop, hunting for coupons, looking to save where she can :)


Guy

Guy:

I came to Savings.com about a year ago with a background in writing, online marketing, and a love for all things tech. I’m an avid video game enthusiast and all-around consumer electronics enthusiast. I have always been an avowed fan of bargain hunting. That desire to find the best deal possible has saved me a lot of money in my quest to possess the latest and greatest in new technology. As a part of the Savings.com team, I have found the perfect outlet to use my love of deals and tech to help others find their way to geeky goodness in this cash-strapped world.


Heather S

Heather:

I arrived here in Los Angeles over a decade ago, by way of Western NY and Boston. My work experience includes selling overpriced sports equipment and overpriced wine. Since I am a save-onista who never pays full price for anything, you can imagine how refreshing it is for me to work at a place that actually helps people save money (what a concept!). Coming fresh off a 5-year stint immersed in the snootiness of the wine biz, I am delighted to be dedicated to the money saving cause here at Savings.com!

Along with being a second generation couponer, I’m a homeschooling Mom and wife. I’m also turning our son into a THIRD generation couponer! In fact,one of the things my husband loves most about me is my ability to take almost anything we are doing and save 50% to 100% on it! By the time of the conference, my website Frugally Fabulous will be up and running. It takes the regular savings blog a few steps further!


Mindi C.

Mindi:

As the owner and author of Moms Need To Know, I have had the unique pleasure of teaching people that you can live a more frugal lifestyle while still living a full and rich life. Whether it is feeding a family of 5 on $50 per week, or just scoring a sweet deal on a designer handbag, I am always looking for ways to save money! My site (and life) is powered by the love and support of my husband and three children, as well as an obscene amount of coffee.

I am a mother of the 6 (My Litter).

My Blog shares the craziness that ensues and the fabulous deals that I find between couponing, online sales and the customer rewards programs that allow us to maintain the financial machine even in a rough economy!

Toni-Lynn

Toni-Lynn:

I am a stay at home mom of 2 small boys and I run a small company of family friendly websites to stay that way. I have been a deal seeker since 2002 when my first son was born. While looking for a way to stay home and still contribute financially, I stumbled upon a coupon obsession. We now spend less than $5 a week to feed a family of 4. It takes time and dedication but is a fun “hobby”. I post most of the deals I find on my blog Delightful Chaos and on Twitter.


Yasar

Yasar:

I love to try new things whether it’s a new food, activity, or going to some place new. My goal in life is to travel to every continent before I reach the age of 40. Some of my interests include live music, video games, traveling, eating, being outdoors, and, for some strange reason, reading. My expertise is in video games. I’m a video game connoisseur, if you will.
