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! TGIF! How are you doing today? I hope your morning is off to a great start. Yesterday we took the day “off” from work and had a fun family day. We drove into Spokane, Washington (about 30 minutes away) and went to an awesome Japanese restaurant for lunch. The kid’s favorite food is sushi and miso soup – so they were over-the-moon and it was delicious! We also hit up the toy store, bookstore and Ben and Jerrys for a a little treat.
I stopped into Gymboree in the mall and I was sad to see they are one of the stores going out of business! Most of the store is only 50% off, so the deals aren’t that awesome and I didn’t buy anything. I browsed GAP clearance but wasn’t too impressed there either. Where are YOU finding good deals on school clothes? We have had the best luck at Goodwill this summer, but I love a good clearance rack at a retail place!
My old iPhone 6 was acting up so I took it to the Apple Store. Turns out my battery was swelling, so the awesome people at Apple replaced my phone for only $79. I was so happy to hear this because the Verizon store in Coeur d’Alene tried to sell me a new phone earlier in the week ($800!?!). Anyway, the Apple store is amazing and I love how well they’ve taken care of us over the years.
We also went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to get football and soccer gear for the kids. I had a $20 off $100 coupon and the awesome cashier gave me another $20 off for signing up for their rewards card (not credit card, it’s a points/loyalty card). Plus they had some great in-store promotions so I feel like we got some great deals there.
Even though my son’s Lands End backpack is still in good condition – he’s had it since Kindergarten! – we let the kids pick out new backpacks at TJ Maxx. You can’t beat Lands End backpacks for durability but I feel like after 4 years of using the same backpack, he probably deserves to get a new one. TJ Maxx has backpacks for a fraction of the price of retail and we got a great deal – and they are both excited for their backpack choices for the year. I still need to find a good deal on a lunch box. . . I’d love suggestions if you have one!
We ended the night at the Hayden Discount Theater where movies are just $3/person! I love that our whole family can go see a movie for $12. And the biggest popcorn is only $4.50, too. It’s a fun outing and was the perfect way to end the day.
