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 and how is your week going? Yesterday was a our first full-day at State Wenatchee state park. It was a jam-packed day. We hung around the trailer until about noon – then headed over to the lake and the kids played on the shore. The water is still pretty cold for the season – so they just jumped around in it, played in the sand and climbed on the driftwood. It was gorgeous.
Then we headed into Leavenworth for lunch and we spent a few hours walking around downtown. What a gorgeous community – I can’t believe we’ve never been here before. We walked through all the fun shops, had ice cream at a local candy shop, found our very first geocache ever (we are hooked!) and then went to Safeway for groceries.
Grocery shopping and meal planning is going to be an adjustment for me as we transition into this new lifestyle. I used my Safeway Just for U app to shop the sales and get discounts. I used a $10 off $50 coupon I spotted in the local paper and my total ended up being $53.21 for everything pictured above (case of water and two large gallons of water not pictured).
I purchased eggs, milk, string cheese $2.99 (after a blinkie), bread, hot dog buns, hot dogs, bananas, apples, avocados, a mini watermelon, lettuce, strawberries, spinach and 2 pounds of deli lunch meat. My favorite deals were the avocados J4U price of $0.87 each and lunch meat J4U price $5.32/lb (cheaper than the packaged stuff). We had turkey sandwiches for dinner last night – with avocado. 🙂 Normally I’d buy a full-size watermelon but due to a lack of space, I paid more per pound for the mini. I was grateful for the $10 off $50 coupon. Kids are having french toast for breakfast and I’m having yogurt we brought from the house. Although it feels like we’re on vacation – we aren’t, this is our new reality, so I’m trying to still eat healthy and buy foods we’d eat at home, too.
Oooh and last night – using the Geocaching app – the kids and I went for a hike and found another geocache! Part of the Washington State Parks 50th Anniversary Geocache program – it was full of treasures. We had never geocached before yesterday – but it was so easy using the iPhone app and I love that it was FREE entertainment. Learn more about geocaching here, where you can create a free account and find geocaches near you! The hike to this geocache was probably 2 miles round-trip and the kids were such troopers – I think having a treasure at the end of the trail helps really motivate them. We bought a bunch of $0.49 trinkets from a local Leavenworth store and left something behind for others to see! Have you geocached before? Do you have a favorite geocache that you’ve found?
I’ll share a full update of our first 48 hours over on the Take That Exit website soon.

So glad you found one of the state park geocaches. We were lucky enough to placer of a state park cache at Peace Arch State Park. Geocaching is a great family activity and Geocaching.com headquarters is actually in Fremont Washington. Happy caching!!!
jenny says
Can’t figure out how to get the under armour deal to work! I see the deal at the top of my amazon page, didn’t automatically deduct when I went to pay. Didn’t see a code to enter either. Any thoughts??
Heather Clarke says
Hmmm, make sure the items are sold and shipped by Under Armour? I’m looking at the main page and I’m not seeing the promo listed on the longer variety anymore. Wonder if that’s it?
Frances says
Welcome to the world of Geocaching! It is a blast! I have been living in Lacey/Olympia for over 10 yrs and because of Caching, we are/have discovered parks and trails that I never knew where here. What a great way to get exercise, have fun and spend quality with the family!
Heather Clarke says
Hi Frances – Thanks for taking the time to comment. I can’t believe we haven’t tried it before now – it was so easy. The kids loved it and it was great motivation to get out and explore. 🙂 I wish we would have found some of the geocaches in the Lacey/Olympia area – perhaps after we get back home.
