H2S used to be a great site when it was about couponing, spending less and saving money. In the past few years it's turned into a non-focused mess. It's now mostly Amazon "buy this NOW!" type posts with multiple exclamation points and click bait titles. It has become more about consumerism and getting clicks to her affiliate links. Many of the "deals" her team now posts aren't even good deals. They're just online deals shared because she gets a commission. Now that she has a team writing for her the site has gotten very corporate-looking and she rarely posts. Her comments are normally "awww you're so sweet" in response to compliments given to her. She used to share a lot about her personal experiences which made the site work for her readers. They felt a personal connection to her. I don't anymore. The keto thing is also off the rails. We get it. This fad diet worked for you. What does this have to do with savings and coupons? Most reputable doctors will tell you that keto is not healthy or sustainable long term. Her team frequently dishes out what could be construed as medical advice pertaining to keto. It's gross and wrong and has very much turned me off her site. I used to check it multiple times a day. Now it's maybe once a month and I don't feel like I'm missing anything. I used to leave her site smiling because I enjoyed the content and the deals. Now when I go I feel annoyed when I leave because the site has changed so much and it's such a money grab now. Before I knew I was supporting her through affiliate links and I didn't mind because I enjoyed the content. I would purchase through just about any other avenue now due to the changes on the site. Good for the owner, bad for her readers.

I love H2S and have followed them for years but lately it is hard to keep up with the blog. They post well over 100 times per day and it is becoming so hard to follow the blog. Most of these posts are online deals. I wish they'd go back to more of a balanced approach and post like they used to because it is harder to follow all the other deals that aren't online deals. I also noticed they started using more "click-baity" post titles to get us to click on the posts more:(

Other than that, I love the blog and they've helped me tons through the years... crossing my fingers they revert back to more of a balanced blog!

This site is great if you want to find deals on the cheap. The hip2save team post the "best deals of the week" for several stores, you look through those and save money on anything you choose to buy...

They are also helpful around xmas time letting you know when good gift ideas go on sale. Its a great site to help you save money, but beware on overspending on all the great finds. Some things you just have to pass up because you don't need... lol

As this is a blog site, she uses her affiliate links to make money for letting you know the deals, but this is something collin always lets you know.
