Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How was your weekend? I hope it was good. Ours was uneventful but productive, which we needed. We had a few IKEA bookshelves and storage options for the house that needed to be assembled and then we spent most of Saturday afternoon organizing the kid’s rooms. We’ve been in our house about 7 weeks and it’s definitely been a process as we slowly get furniture and get organized.
Yesterday the Amazon deals were rocking and rolling! Did you take advantage of some of the deals? I could barely keep up with all the price drops and the 50% off Seventh Generation diapers/wipes/cleaning products coupons that made for some incredible deals. Looks like the coupons are gone this morning – so I’m glad that so many of you were able to snag them yesterday! If you haven’t already make sure and follow me on Facebook and sign up for our newsletters – so you don’t miss these amazing deals when they come around. I also have a new Facebook group here (not Christmas deals, but year-long) for sharing online deals.
Today I’m throwing some Zaycon chicken into the crockpot for this Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili recipe. We’ve been eating it a lot lately as the weather gets colder and I have a stockpile of quinoa and a lot of the ingredients on hand. Most Octobers I’m trying lots of new crockpot recipes as part of my favorite Crocktober series – but this year I’m just so overwhelmed with getting my family settled into the house that I’ve been sticking to tried to and true recipes as much as possible. Do you have a favorite crockpot recipe that you’ve been using lately? I’d love your ideas!
This weekend I updated my BIG list of the best Amazon Subscribe and Save Deals. I find this is a great way to buy groceries, health items, diapers, cleaning products, household items and other consumable products.
If you’re looking for an easy Halloween treat, these Rice Krispies Ghosts are really easy and fun.

Amazon has several LEGO Star Wars Sets that have dropped in price – starting as low as $7.64. Lots of BEST prices. These include some of the newer Force Awakens sets and figures.
I was looking around Amazon for some deals and while checking out the baby girl’s jackets and baby boy’s jackets I found a bunch of rain jackets marked down – as low as $3.23! Prices vary slightly depending on size and pattern – but most are available in sizes 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. I also found some big boy’s jackets but didn’t have a lot of luck with big girl’s rain jackets (though regular jackets on sale here). We’ve put together a round up of some of the best deals here.
Amazon has a new baby promotion – spend $30 on select Fisher-Price baby gear items and save $10 instantly at checkout! There is no special code needed for the discount, it comes off automatically. Only qualifying Fisher Price items and those sold/shipped by Amazon will generate the $10 discount.
Fisher-Price Little People Nativity Set down to $25.05 (reg. $33.99). Perfect for kids. This just a few cents more than the BEST price it has been on Amazon. Excellent reviews. We probably won’t see this much lower before the holidays.
Amazon also has a new 20% off coupon for Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap – combine that with Subscribe and Save and you have some great prices! For example Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Dish Soap Lemon Verbena, 16 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3) (pictured above) is as low as $9.15 with Subscribe and Save (5+ orders/month). PLUS clip the 20% off coupon and the price drops to $7 for 3 bottles. That’s $2.33 per bottle!
And Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Liquid Dish Soap, Honeysuckle, 16 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3) – is as low as $9.41 with Subscribe and Save. After you clip the 20% off coupon the price drops to $7.20 for 3 bottles.

And another coupon deal is this Seventh Generation Dishwasher Detergent Packs, Ultra Power Plus, 86 Count as low as $16.99 with Subscribe and Save. Clip the $6 coupon and the price drops to $10.99. This comes out to $0.13 cents a load! For comparison, Costco is 9 cents each for the Kirkland signature brand tablets. So you’re paying a bit more for this brand which has no synthetic fragrances, chlorine bleach or phosphates.
There is a new coupon for an extra 20% off Shout products and combined with the Subscribe and Save discount it’s a great price. Although a lot of products are included with the coupon, I think the best deal is this Shout Free 22 oz. (pack of 3) on sale for as low as $8.13 with Subscribe and Save (5+ orders/month) and after you clip the 20% off coupon, the price drops to $6.22. That comes out to $2.07 per bottle.
Philips Sonicare Essence Sonic Electric Toothbrush in White on sale for $24.97 (reg. $49.99). Clip the $5 coupon and get it for $19.97! This is just a couple cents more than the BEST price it has been on Amazon.
Amazon also has coupon for 20% off Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap! For example, this Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap, Apple, 12.5 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3) is on sale for as low as $9.05 with Subscribe and Save (5+ orders/month), plus clip the 20% off coupon and the price drops to $6.92 shipped. This is $2.31 each!

This Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap, Geranium, 12.5 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3) is available for $9.49 with Subscribe and Save, plus an extra 20% off with the coupon – makes it $7.59 shipped or $2.53 each!

Head over to Amazon and find a great deal on this Peter Pan 100% Natural Crunchy Peanut Spread, 16.3 Ounce (Pack of 12) as low as $21.22 with Subscribe and Save. This comes out to $1.77 each and I calculate that to about 11 cents an ounce which is comparable to Costco’s prices (10-11 cents/oz). Costco sells Jif, Kirkland Organic (0.18/oz) and Adams Natural Crunch ($0.11/oz) – so this would be a deal based on brand preference.
There is a $6/3 Herbal Essences coupon over on Amazon that makes for a couple great deals. For example, this Herbal Essences Set Me Up Max Hold Hair Gel 6 Oz (Pack of 3), (Packaging may vary) is on sale for $8.91. After you clip the coupon it would be $2.91 for THREE gels – this comes out to $0.97 cents each. It is an add-on item, which means it requires a minimum $25 purchase.
