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.
Good morning! It’s Friday. Anyone ready for a weekend? 🙂 I’m slowly easing back into blogging. Yesterday my husband and I finally got around to making a list of chores we want to accomplish before we head back to school. Between football season and the busy blogging season of holiday deals – a lot of projects around the house were put on the back burner. Yesterday I took down and packed away Christmas decorations, including the Christmas tree. Then I moved the furniture around in the living room – which is really only the way I’m able to truly clean that room.
One thing I haven’t done is head into the stores. Have you been shopping after-Christmas clearance? There was quite a discussion over on the Queen Bee Facebook page about clearance deals were finding.
What are you up to? Do you have time off of work? Are you on vacation? I’d love to hear what you’re doing these days.
This time of year I always get more requests for discounts on things like Weight Watchers. If you’re looking for a current Weight Watcher discount, they are currently doing 50% off Weight Watchers online when you sign up for a one-month plan. This makes it $18.95 for one month of Weight Watchers online – a super deal if you’re just wanting to try it out. They also have a great deal on the meetings – get all the details (plus Weight Watcher coupons) here.

ONLINE and RETAIL SALES
*HOT!* The Staples.com Daily Deal are these Duracell Coppertop batteries, 24 pack, for $6.99 with FREE shipping! This comes out to $0.29 per battery for a really high-quality battery. Costco has Kirkland brand batteries for $0.32 cents a battery (and I don’t think they last as long as Coppertop) – so this is a STEAL!
Kohl’s is having a big After-Christmas sale online with many promotions. Looks like toy deals are pretty substantial. They have lots of items that are 50% off on sale, plus use code TOYS to save an extra 20% off your toy purchase and NEWYEAR15 to save an extra 15%. Plus select toys are buy one, get one 1/2 off.

RECIPES, MEAL PLANNING, GROCERY STORE
I’m really hoping to start doing more recipes as soon as January rolls around and things have slowed down again. Are there specific recipes you are looking for?
Safeway – it’s $5 Friday today! We didn’t do a separate post as my contractors are taking a break this week. But you can see the full Safeway $5 Friday ad here. My favorite deals from glancing at the ad would be the Brawny paper towels (6-8 ct) for $5, Mott’s apple juice $1.67, Ore-Ida potatoes $2.50, organic milk $5 a gallon. See full $5 Friday ad here.
