She's so adorable .... she could sell and convince people of almost anything. Great tips and a great presentation style. This was one of the best videos that Bridge has done yet. Anything related to saving money and stretching resources is going to be really hot as more and more people lose their jobs, so these tips are going to be so helpful for so many people.

Great tips! All of them are big ones for me, especially eating out. It's something I'm so used to, but it really isn't that hard to eat at home, and it saves so much! Another way to save money in that aspect is to take your lunch to work with you instead of ordering out with everyone else. Great video!

Yes, good topic! Where did all that bailout money go? I liked the good advice punctuated with humor. My favorite is to eat at home, mostly because that has worked for me. The couple to ten dollars you save a day really adds up after a while.

Haha, great review for a much needed blog. I thought that the tips were helpful, but I liked the funny spin Bridget added, like doing a clothes swap unless your friends smell. Also, I'm glad she didn't give everything away to help drive traffic to the blog.

I will check out the blog sometime but only because Bridget mentioned it. Must be good to catch her eye.

I voted yes because Bridget's right the simple choices we make can have a big impact. The one easiest to see a result from is not eating out so much, food is cheaper at the store than the restaurant. You wouldn't believe home much we save a month by doing that. The other tips on the blog are also awesome, but I still can't bring my self to mess with the thermostat.

I agree with everything Bridget had to say in this video. People don't think about all the small things you can do to save money. Thanks to Bridget's tips, you at least have an idea how to do it for yourself. I'm always up for some way to save money, always looking for a cheap way out. Thanks for a great video, Bridget. Love you, Woman!

You are so freaking hilarious. And frankly if you can make people laugh about money in this economy then you have really done something.

Yeah, every little bit helps right now. However, I don't think I could bring myself to share clothes with anyone.

Great tips Bridget shares! Eating at home saves a TON of money and also can be healthier as you're not so tempted to eat all the fried foods and rich desserts from huge, full plates. My daughters used to share clothes for fun, and taking less expensive vacations can be more enjoyable anyway.

Good topic and good pointers. I don't agree with the clothing thing either, but eating at home and vacationing locally are very good money saving tips for sure. As usual, highly entertaining video.

This was definitely a great topic, since everyone seems to be having a hard time. Everyone could use a little extra money, especially with the holidays right around the corner, so these tips are definitely one to keep in mind.

Money saving tips is something are always good and now especially. I have cut back on alot because of the economy. Love how you throw humor into your advice. :)

Money saving tips is a great topic to talk about, especially the way Bridget does it (Hilarious). I like how you make the viewer get involved with the site and topic by not giving us all the tips so we would read the article. I like the interaction almost as much as I like your enthusiasm and skiing impression... almost...

I read that blog and it was well written, but your video about it make it come to life! I agree that you can have fun just going somewhere nearby. The clothes swapping is not really my thing either. I love the energy that you always seem to have in your videos. I love the first part of this video!

This video seems that it would be helpful. I'm going to try out some of the saving tips, especially the first one about staying close to home for vacations.
