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 are you doing today!?! Yesterday I took it easy on the blog – I was so beat from the Kohl’s Black Friday posts that I just needed a breather. I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is just two days away! We went to Target yesterday and I bought a spiral ham (extra 5% off with Cartwheel) and ingredients for our holiday meal – so I don’t have to shop today or tomorrow. I bet the stores will be crazy. If you’re a cashier or retail employee (or anyone who works this holiday week) – I hope you find people are gracious and kind as they deal with the madness. 🙂
I was down to just four (4) t-shirts in my wardrobe, no joke. Which makes things could get tricky when you can’t do laundry everyday. I hadn’t packed much when we moved into the trailer, but as I wore out the ones I had, I hadn’t been buying new ones. Well yesterday we stopped at Old Navy (it was right next to Target, so convenient!) and I got some great deals. The whole store was 40% off but they had a ton of clearance. I got a bunch of tees for $2.40 – $4. I’m a plain jane, it’s cropped jeans and tees for me every day, so I was tickled that I got some new tops and saved so much on them. Hopefully you’ll have the same luck if you stop into your Old Navy!
As a side note – they had fleece flannels 40% off – and they were still $18! Seriously, I guess flannels are cool again!?! I wore them in high school in the late 90s – ha! Should have saved them because $18 for a fleece seems nuts to me. Anyone else agree? I’m guessing Goodwill would be a good place to look for those fashionable fleece. 🙂
If you prefer to shop online Old Navy is doing an Early Bird Black Friday Event – 30% off purchase under $100 and 40% off purchase $100+ when you use code EARLYBIRD at checkout. FREE Shipping on orders $25 or more with code FREEDOM at checkout. Shop Old Navy here.
And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I shared my my favorite Thanksgiving recipes here. These recipes are a staple at most of our holiday meals – even some ideas for leftovers! What are you making for Thanksgiving? I’d love to hear what’s on your menu!
Don’t forget about my Grateful for you GIVEAWAY and you can head over and enter to win a $100 Amazon gift card! I am so grateful for you and the community we have here. THANK YOU for being so supportive, kind and the best readers I could ask for.
I also wanted to point out this awesome deal on ESPN magazine for only $3.79 per year (96% off the cover price)! You can order up to two (2) years at this price. Just enter coupon code QUEENBEE at checkout. This is a rare discount – and a better deal than we usually see! This would make a great gift idea!

There are lots more great toy deals to be found on our big list of BEST Amazon Toy Deals – we are updating on an almost daily basis (sometimes more than once) to help you find the best prices on the most popular toys this year!
Last week Amazon released the Harry Potter book series on Audible! I’m personally excited for this because we are huge fans of both the Harry Potter books and Audible. We listen to many audiobooks in the truck while we’ve driven across the country. Currently Amazon is offering all Prime members a 3-month FREE trial to Audible.com! This is the promotion that got us hooked this past spring, (it’s usually just a 1-month trial offer). At $14.95/month, this is $44.85 value. PLUS the value of your FREE book downloads! If you sign up for the trial – you can download a book each month for the next month and if it’s not a good fit for you, cancel at the end of the trial.
Purchase a $100 Amazon gift card (or more) you get a FREE Gund bear with purchase! If you’re already planning on shopping Amazon this holiday season this would be an easy BONUS. Looks like the $100 value gift cards are sold out at this time, but they also have $150, $200, $250 and $500.
LEGO Advent Calendars are part of our holiday tradition and the LEGO Advent Calendars 2015 are now available to order! These calendars rarely drop in price and always sell out online before the holidays.

The Hot Wheels Track Builder System Playset is coming up as $52.29 for me 🙁 Is that the right link?
Heather Clarke says
Hi Lena – Yes, I posted that last night and it looks like the price has jumped since this morning. This happens a lot, especially this time of year, when you have so many people shopping and really hot deals.
Lena says
Ugh bummer!!!
