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.
Rise and shine! How are you doing this morning?
This weekend our goal is to get the back yard cleaned up and ready for spring! (We did the front yard last month.) Yesterday we finally got around to getting the raised beds cleaned up, we turned an old sandbox into an additional raised bed and we did some major spring cleaning outside. You can see some of our progress here. I’m ready to plant. I’m ready, I’m ready! I feel so behind, like I should have planted weeks ago, but I won’t stress too much. It was this weekend ONE YEAR ago when we built our first raised beds, so we’ve come along way!
Tomorrow is Earth Day, so watch for lots of freebies and possibly new coupons. We’ll posting them as we find them.
Get Rise and Shine as a daily email! If you prefer to get your deals in this round-up format, you can subscribe to get Rise and Shine delivered to you as an email immediately after I publish each morning. I announced it yesterday and I already have a handful of you who have subscribed – thank you and I hope you enjoy getting it delivered to you. Get more details here.

RECIPES, MEAL PLANNING, GROCERY STORES
My amazing mother-in-law babysat our babies last night so we could get all the work done in the yard. I’m bringing her a big jar of the Coconut Oil Granola that I made on Friday. I’ll be making another batch today to get us through this week – my kids LOVE it and have been eating it over yogurt for breakfast.
I hope to dry some pineapple (only $2 at QFC right now) and some apple chips later this week. This week I dried mangoes, strawberries, mushrooms and even frozen mixed vegetables (I might blog about that later, but figured you all were tired of dehydrator recipes). 🙂 I’m sort of hooked if you haven’t noticed. A lot of times I put it in before I go to bed and wake up to it done – incredibly easy.
Grocery store deals – WinCo deals, Safeway, Albertsons and QFC and Fred Meyer deals. Looks like QFC might be at the top of my list this week with $0.99/lb organic apples and $0.88/lb whole roasters. Fred Meyer deals for this next week probably won’t be up until tomorrow, thank you for your patience.
New Fred Meyer deals will be up probably tonight, probably after kids are tucked in for the night. Sorry it’s late this week, but I will get them up!
Costco coupons are going through May 5, 2013. You can get a complete Costco coupon match-up here..

Hi everyone,
Please if anyone has been to the Target in Tacoma, my boyfriend left my coupon binder in the target cart yesterday in the parking lot. I thought he put it in the trunk with the groceries. If anyone picked it up and has a heart please can I pick it up from you?? I really need it. It has ALL my coupons in it. It is a big white binder with the bottom right corner chewed up from my dog. I went to Target earlier today and no one has turned it in to the lost and found. Here is my email if you found it wahaylam@gmail.com
