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! Did you have a good weekend? Ours was good, we tried to get as much accomplished as we could before heading back to school/work this week. I was up until midnight last night doing accounting and wrapping up taxes for the year. Have you done your taxes yet? I really would have rather been sleeping, but I wanted to get it done, so I wouldn’t worry about it any longer.
Yesterday I announced that I’m hiring. I’m looking for two people – one for Albertsons and one for Fred Meyer. If you shop either of these stores weekly, you are a longtime couponer, and you are reliable, I recommend you check out my recruiting post. I’ve already received a few amazing cover letters and applications – it’s going to be hard to pick!
After hiring, I hope to have much better Fred Meyer coverage – including in-store deals. Right now my Fred Meyer coverage is average at best. But I know that it’s a great NW option and I want to do a better job highlighting their offers! Don’t you think this is a good idea? Albertsons coverage should stay about the same – I feel like we are pretty good about covering the ad and getting you a decent doubler list and we hope to continue that. If you have suggestions for content you’d like to see on Queen Bee – please comment! I’m open to ideas and suggestions and now is a great time to be making changes with this transition. If you think you’re interested in applying, check out my post here, and if it doesn’t scare you, please apply!
Yesterday I did my first Secondhand Sunday post, I’m super excited about this series. Aimee saved 90% off a like new Pilates machine! If you find a great deal on a secondhand item (thrift store, garage sale, etc) – send it in! If I feature your secondhand treasure, you’ll earn a $10 Amazon gift card! I hope to feature a new deal every week!
Safeway has 4x Gas Reward points when you buy gift cards through April 13. Our attic ladder broke this week (wah!) so I picked up Home Depot gift cards at Safeway to buy a replacement ladder. This got us $0.80/gallon off gas. It was money we had to spend anyway – and it was just another way to stretch our hard-earned dollars.
My current giveaways:
- Enter to win a $50 Visa gift card. You don’t have to be an AT&T customer to enter, but if you are an AT&T customer – you can get a FREE $5 Starbucks gift card.
- Enter to win a $25 Grocery Outlet gift card (3 winners)
- Enter to win a $100 just by being an email subscriber
