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.
Good morning! Last night I flew up to Alaska to meet my brand new baby nephew. Isn’t he precious? He is my little sister’s first baby. It’s good to be home, a crisp 25 degrees this morning with predictions for snow Monday! I flew up using miles, a lifesaver since last minute tickets were close to $1200! There would have been no way that we would have been able to swing that. I paid $5 and redeemed miles. I do a lot of travel using miles. We use the Alaska Airlines mileage credit card for our expenses, using it like a debit card (tracking all purchases), and slowly earning miles, paying it off every month. The key is to use it like a debit card – this way you always have enough to pay it off every month. Do you use a credit card for travel or mileage points? Do you have tips for cheap airfare or travel? Anyway, I’m enjoying the baby cuddles and time with my siblings and parents this weekend!
If you missed it yesterday, I’m hiring! I’m looking for two people – a Target expert and a Walgreens expert. If you live, breathe and shop Target or Walgreens, then you should check out the application process. And if you’re a fan of Target and Walgreens deals, just know that I’m hoping to increase our coverage of the deals in the store.
If you’re going grocery shopping today, it’s the last day of the Fred Meyer Anniversary sale! There are some great prices in the ad (Tillamook cheese 2 pounds for $3.99). Today you can get $0.91 Dreyer’s Ice Cream with an e-coupon.

I was hoping you’d share when the little guy was born! What a sweetie! Did your sister like the $1.99 diapers?
We switched to cash for our food and household budget, but have gas and other routine bills like cell phone go to a rewards card. I make a lot of little shopping trips and it is easier than tracking it on the excel sheet. Plus when the cash is gone, it is gone and I have to be creative with the food on hand.
