Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Welcome to Monday (and February!), my friends. How was your weekend? I want to hear all about it – leave a comment and tell me what you did. We are hanging out in Montgomery, Alabama this week. My brother- and sister-in-law live here with their kiddos and we are spending as much time with them as we can! We went to my nephew’s basketball game at the YMCA and the kids had a sleepover Saturday night at their cousin’s house (read: date night for Mr. Queen Bee and I, wahoo!). This week we plan to visit the local museums and to dig-deep into Civil Rights history here, I can’t wait to bring this important history to life for my children.
Yesterday we went to Costco. Gosh, I love that place. We’ve been to Costco stores all over the country – and the Montgomery store yesterday was EMPTY. A Costco empty on a Sunday?! It felt like the twilight zone. We took full advantage of the calm and picked up some groceries and lunch at the deli (under $8 for the whole family to eat – yes, please). You can find the newest Costco coupon deals here.
Then yesterday we cleaned out the entire back of our truck and the outside compartments of the Airstream. We hadn’t done this for a couple months and it was sorely needed. Two big bags are headed to a thrift shop today. Even living in 180 square feet and not consuming like we used to – we still seem to collect more stuff than we have room for. We spent a lot of time cleaning and “resetting” things in January, so I’m looking forward to more exploring and fun in February.

I found this great round-up of 24 Crock Pot Dump Dinners over on Mashable. It looks like it has some fantastic recipes and these are just the ticket for saving time on dinner! Basically the premise is you just dump the whole bag into your crockpot so that you aren’t having to prep ingredients early in the day.
So it’s a new month, which means there are TONS of new printable coupons for you over here.
