Savings Nation Seminar with Crystal Collins of The Thrifty Mama!!!

Last Thursday I went to the first ever SavingsNation.com Seminars. Savings Nations has paired with The Thrifty Mama (Crystal Collins), $5 Dinners (Erin Chase), The Happy Housewife (Toni) and Savings Lifestyle (Andrea Deckard) to help us save money on groceries. I was so excited to go to this seminar, looking forward to it for weeks. And it TOTALLY lived up to my expectations! Every bit! I'm not going to discuss most of the seminar details with you, you'll need to find a seminar and go yourself, it's so worth it (go to EventBrite.com to see where the next seminars are). The ladies touched on topics like;

• Printable coupons
• Coupon organization
• Shopping smarter
• Saving on organics
• Stockpiling
• Menu planning
• and much more!

As much as I loved all of the information, I loved meeting Crystal Collins jut as much!! I was like a little girl at an NKOTB concert (if you don't know who they are, please find out, you'll be happy you did. Although it makes me feel old that you don't know lol). I've read Crystal's blog, The Thrifty Mama for quite some time now and love everything about it and her. She was fabulously real in person, warm and friendly, and was more than happy to take a picture with me.
Here we are at the end of the seminar (Crystal on the left, me on the right);

She even friended me on Facebook!! Squeeeeee!

While meeting one of my blogging idols (Yes, Crystal, it's true! LOL) was fantastic, the seminar itself was truly excellent. Well developed, well planned, well delivered. Pertinent, timely information that really will help me in my day to day life. Who could ask for more for $10???
