Save Up 2010: The Highlights

You've no doubt heard the term "DealPro" being bandied about a lot here.  And of course you've seen the series of videos showcasing their savvy saving secrets.  But maybe you're still a bit unsure as to what exactly a Savings.com DealPro is?  Well, simply put, they are America's Top Money Savers who share their experience and wisdom on how to live well for less with others.  Whether it be travel or technology, food or fashion, they know how to snag the best deals and bargains and are committed to passing along their tricks and tips to you.

In November, Savings.com hosted the second annual Save Up conference in Chicago.  This gathering of like-minded savers brought together dozens of DealPros to network and exchange ideas for better living on a budget with us and each other.

Check out the video for the 2010 Save Up highlights:
