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! Good morning, how is your week going so far?
Our week is going great around here. We’ve been outside EVERY night so far this week thanks to the beautiful weather. Last night we finally finished weeding and beauty barking this front side bed. It gets weeded about once a year (ha!) and this is the first time we’ve freshened it up with new beauty bark. I love that flowers are starting to bloom. It’s spring, folks! Well at least here in the Northwest – what’s the weather like in your area?

Because we’ve been outside nearly every night, dinners have been a hodgepodge of whatever I can pull together. This last weekend I got some basil on manager markdown and my son and I made a big batch of pesto. Last night for dinner we had leftover roasted chicken sandwiches, with lots of pesto. Yum. It’s nice to make dinner without turning on the stove and making a big spectacle of dishes. What’s on your menu plan this week?
Grocery store deals – WinCo deals, Safeway, Albertsons and QFC and Fred Meyer deals. I realize it’s frustrating when the newest deals aren’t published in a timely manner, but we are going through a transition phase here and until we get an Albies pro to help with the ad, it’s going to be limited. Since all doublers and match-ups are on hold – you honestly aren’t missing much, but it is a store we want to regularly post.
Costco coupons are going through May 5, 2013. You can get a complete Costco coupon match-up here..
What’s on your menu plan for this week? Check out our recipes by ingredients here – it helps when you see something on sale in the ad and need some inspiration.

Heather, your sandwich looks sooo good! What kind of bread did you use? I wonder do you think the Gevalia offer is not as good as their usual ones?
Thanks for all you do!
Sweet of you to say so – I hesitated putting that photo in Rise and Shine since it was less than perfect, but the sandwich was delish. The bread, it’s Franz Sweet Dark bread (http://franzbakery.com/products/franz-natural-breads/columbia-river-sweet-dark-whole-grain). Funny you should mention it, even my husband said, “this bread is good, what is it?” and it is good, I think we’ll buy it again!
Honestly, I don’t think this Gevalia offer is as good as ones they’ve had in the past. I like it when they give you a coffee pot! A stainless container is nice, but I don’t think it’s a necessity (especially for $19.99) and because it has a big Gevalia logo on the side, I’m not sure people will want it on their counter. Just my 2 cents. The coffee itself is good and worth the $19.99 shipped, but personally I’d be waiting for a better freebie with purchase.
