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 was your weekend? Last Friday I had a date night with my handsome husband and we walked at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. This place is amazing and just north of Olympia/Lacey off I-5. It costs $3 for a day pass and it’s amazing.

So many birds, breathtaking views and and a healthy walk – we logged 4.3 miles – walking all the way to the end of the trail. When you get to the final lookout you can see the Narrow’s Bridge, amazing view of Mt. Rainier and more. But if you want, you can just walk the shorter loops and/or turn around at anytime on the boardwalk if you don’t want to do the whole walk.
A few tips if you plan to go:
- Part of the path is gravel, which can be tricky for strollers. But if you’re up for it, most of it is boardwalk.
- Not much shade – on a sunny day you’ll want a hat/sunglasses and sunblock
- Pack – water, camera and/or binoculars – lots and lots to see!
- If needed, use restroom at main station – not really any bathrooms while you’re out walking.
After our walk at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge we picked up dinner at Curry Corner to go! This place is the best Indian food in Olympia. I doesn’t look like much from the outside – but seriously, trust me on this one. The Chicken Tikka Masala will knock your socks off. And the naan – you gotta try it! They have a super frugal lunch menu, if you’re able to swing a daytime meal – $8.45 will get you a big lunch, enough for leftovers.
Well I think that’s enough advice from the peanut gallery, let’s move on to the deals. . .
Last night I posted about this deal Becky got on this Bob Duallie Stroller – just $20 at Jack and Jill’s consignment sale. That is crazy!! What a phenomenal deal. Yet another example of how shopping secondhand can really pay off. Did you find any good secondhand deals this weekend? If you send in your deal, and I feature it on the site, you’ll earn a $10 Amazon gift card! Read about the details here.
The Amazon deals were crazy last night! When they start doing markdowns it can be really crazy the types of deals that we find. Hopefully the trend continues today and through the week!
