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.
Good morning! Happy Friday! How are you doing today? Do you have any exciting plans this weekend? We don’t have many plans. I need to get some cleaning done. Our neighborhood is doing a garage sale in a few weeks and I don’t want to be scrambling last minute – so I need to get started on prep for that!
I must confess, I feel like a garden FAILURE. It’s ridiculous, but I haven’t planted any seeds yet. I have the seeds, the grow lights, the set up – I just haven’t done it yet. This happened to me last year – and part of me wonders if I’m putting it off because I’ve never done it before. What if I screw up? It’s ridiculous, I know. I just need to get some seeds in the dirt. Hopefully this weekend. Even just some simple lettuce starts would be good.
Yesterday I stopped into QFC to take advantage of the Mega Sale. and I’m really happy with the deals I found – I was able to purchase everything pictured above for just $33.43! If you have a Kroger-affiliated store in your community the deals might be similar.
My daughter and I also stopped by Goodwill. We didn’t find much this time – although I did get the Sequence game for $4.99 – still in the shrink wrap, brand new! It’s currently selling for $14.99 on Amazon and I hear it’s a really fun game.

Went to the QFC on Kitsap way in Bremerton yesterday for the buy 4 deals. Imagine my surprise when i found that the ad was not in effect there because of a store closing sale! So sad… I did find some good deals though. All grocery was 30% off and all Natural foods and household was 40%.
