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 are you doing this morning and how was your day yesterday? Here’s a photo of the fall colors from my neighborhood – I took the photo yesterday while on a walk. I love this time of year.
Yesterday I spent part of the afternoon organizing our household paperwork. So much paper, from school, from the house, from work. For years I have used this system for organizing my bills and paperwork and I’m still using this actually – but I needed to set up a filing cabinet for paperwork I don’t need on hand but should keep. I found a wooden filing cabinet for $7.99 at a thrift shop which I hope to paint (eventually) and add handles to it. Never pay full price for a filing cabinet – they are plentiful at thrift shops! I ordered my hanging folders and files from Amazon. Feels good to have things organized and filed away – out of sight, no more clutter! Today I need to tackle the kid’s school paperwork that they’ve brought home. Do you have a system or method for managing school paperwork?
Last night our family went out to dinner at Red Robin – a super rare treat for us these days. We’ve been really watching our budget and eating out is one of those things we’ve cut out. This was only the second time we’ve eaten out as a family in the last two months! It helps that having a kitchen is still a novelty after traveling fulltime for a year – so I’ve been cooking a lot at home. We saved on our bill a couple ways – I picked up a $25 Red Robin gift card from Amazon for $20 (lightning deal), we used our Red Robin Loyalty card to get a free burger (it was our 10th item) and we went before 6 p.m. so it was Happy Hour and we got an appetizer for half-price. The kids split a regular milkshake (cheaper than buying two kid-size shakes!) and my husband and I had water (we rarely order soda or drinks at restaurants – so spendy!). What’s your favorite family-friendly restaurant and how do you save there?
After dinner we visited my Grandma who lives in a retirement community here. And on the way home we stopped by WinCo to buy a few pumpkins! Only $0.18 cents a pound at our local WinCo store and they had wonderful selection. We got three good-sized pumpkins for about $8 and they are currently adorning our front porch. 🙂
Today for dinner I think I’ll make Chicken Santa Fe in the slow cooker. Kroger cream cheese is part of the $0.88 sale at Fred Meyer this week (great prices!) and I had found a $0.30 Kroger cream cheese e-coupon making it only $0.58/ea. See Fred Meyer deals for this week here.
For those of you who are looking for a Black Friday TV deal, you’ll find a list of Black Friday 2016 TV Deal Predictions over on the BlackFriday.fm website. I’m going to be looking this year. We gave away our living room TV before we started traveling so we currently have a small TV and I’m hoping to get a bigger one, not huge – but a bit more reasonable for a living room (the better to see my Seahawks!). 🙂 What type of Black Friday deals are you looking for this year?
I hope you have a wonderful day!
