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.
Rise and shine! Good morning!
The big deal yesterday were the shoes I found on clearance over on Amazon. I found a couple pairs of DC boots, including these DC Women’s Lana Boot – as low as $16.57. Regular price is $95! It’s available in a lot of sizes. See the other DC boots I found here. I also found a TON of kids and women’s shoes on sale, all 70% off. I did a post about those here.
This weekend is the Fred Meyer Founder’s Day Sale – I should have an ad preview up later this morning!
Did you read my post yesterday about Whole Foods? We are going to start sharing Whole Foods deals next week! I’m super excited to welcome Greta to the team, she’s a Whole Foods extraordinaire and she’s going to help us find deals at Whole Foods, on organic foods and focus on more gluten-free deals!

RECIPES, MEAL PLANNING, GROCERY STORES
I still haven’t gone to the grocery store yet this week. It’s amazing how much money I save when I don’t step into a grocery store looking for deals. 🙂 Last night, instead of Eggplant Parmesan like we had planned, we grilled burgers and hot dogs. We had them in the freezer. To dress them up, since we didn’t have any lettuce we sautéed up some sliced onions for a topping on the burgers – yum! I served it with a side of cauliflower (previously frozen). Then for dessert we had smoothies with milk, frozen strawberries, blueberries and pineapple – all from the freezer. We are eating well for very little out of pocket and I’m so proud of us. We are using up what we have in the freezer, the strawberries were from last summer and the pineapple from last November!

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!

Whole Foods’ Deals – How fun. What region will she be covering?

Grilling hamburgers and hotdogs on a sunny evenings sounds great. Did you know that you can use cold cooked cauliflower instead of potatoes in ‘potato’ salad? It’s really delicious. Just dry the cauliflower real good with some paper towels so your salad doesn’t get too wet, then add potato salad fixings like mayo, hard boiled eggs, pickles, onion, olives, celery – whatever you like. :o)
