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! How’s it going today? We’re getting close to the weekend and I’m grateful for that. Sounds like there is a deep freeze across several states this morning – brrr! I hope your coffee is hot and your home is cozy – take advantage of that stockpile if you have one (so you don’t have to run around shopping) and be safe if you go out! It’s 42 degrees here where I live, but earlier this week we had crazy rains and flooding in some areas – so it’s adventure where ever you might be.
If you’re looking for a hot meal to beat the chill, I have lots of soup recipes here – and this Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini soup is one of the easiest – you might already have everything you need on hand. And this Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumpling soup is also a favorite. If you’re looking for a healthier option, this Roasted Garlic, Kale and White Bean soup will beat the winter chill without a lot of calories.
So yesterday I took my daughter to Target. I’m not lying when I say we haven’t stepped foot in a Target in MONTHS – I know for a fact I didn’t go all of November or December. We just don’t go that often. It’s not that I don’t like Target – I just prefer to avoid all the temptations and “deals” and just buy what I need, online with my Amazon Prime membership. For example, a pair of dress shoes for my daughter – $11 shipped from Amazon instead of going into Target and walking out spending $50 on other necessities. We also find incredible toy deals at Goodwill – so we just don’t go much these days. Can anyone else relate?
Let me get to my point. . .so my daughter and I went to Target. This Christmas she was given a Target gift card and cash from great grandmas and great aunts/uncles. Those $10 and $20 bills added up and she was excited to go shopping. We’ve been purposely waiting for Target toy clearance to heat up and we seriously lucked out. I was surprised to find lots of items 50% off and the Hello Kitty ride-on 6-volt car (with bonus scooter) pictured above – just $56 (reg. $189) – a savings of 70% off. What a deal! My daughter has been driving the car around the house this morning (with her ukulele and lip gloss) – and she’s just so tickled (pink) by the deals she got with her Christmas gift money. I shared lots of photos of toy clearance Target here – please remember Target toy clearance varies by store AND make sure and scan items, sometimes items ring up lower than they are tagged.
