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. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
Good morning! Today is supposed to get up to 90 degrees here in Olympia. I’m a heat wimp (remember I’m from Alaska?) – but I love the sunshine, so no complaints from me, yet.
If you’re a heat wimp too, I should tell you that I spotted fans and air conditioners at Costco yesterday. The Lansko stand fan they have is $37.99, but it’s powerful and effective (I know because I slept with it in front of my face last night). You could say I’m a fan of it, hahaha. It comes with a silly remote control – that you may or may not need.
I shared a chicken and garden update yesterday. You can get the latest “baby” chicken photos and see what we harvested from the garden this week.

Puget Sound friends – here’s a News Tribune discount! For those of you wanting MULTIPLE Sunday papers, you can get up to NINE (9) of these subscription offers. Just multiple the number of papers you want by the package price. So if you want two Sunday papers delivered each week, you’d buy either two 26-week packages for $78 or you’d pay $104 for an entire year, 52 weeks of delivery. The big bummer is this is a pre-paid offer, so you’d have to pay that up front. But the good news is this can help those of you heading to the Dollar Tree every day and spending the money anyway! Get all the details here.
Have a great day!

If you prefer to get your deals in this round-up format, you can subscribe to get Rise and Shine delivered to you as an email immediately after I publish each morning.
