Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! I hope your day is off to a great start.
After feedback from all of you, I’ve decided to bring back the grocery highlight posts – featuring the top 10 (or so) deals at each store, each week. These highlight posts will link to the full match-ups. I thought I was simplifying things for you by sending you to the full match-ups with the best deals starred but that wasn’t the case. I apologize for fixing something that wasn’t broken. As always I appreciate constructive feedback anytime something isn’t working on the site.
Yesterday we spent the day beach combing and found all sorts of treasures! We are on spring break and with sandy ocean beaches just a short drive away its a great “staycation” for us! The kids spent hours finding shells and creatures in the spring sun – thankfully there was very little wind!
Don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a $300 Great Wolf Lodge gift card. You can head over here and enter.
And we are also giving away a year’s worth of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts. It’s 160 pounds. It’s part of a launch for a new company called GoDirect Foods. I tried out their beef roast and ground beef – both were delicious. I share more about the giveaway and the products I tried here.
