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! How is it June? Unbelievable. Yesterday I got out into the garden and planted some lettuce and radishes. 45 days, baby, and we’ll be harvesting them. I hope to provide a garden update later today. Lots going on in the yard – which badly needs to be mowed by the way. And I hope to provide a chicken update this weekend too.
Our May Budget Challenge is over! I’m relieved and proud of all the money we saved in May by making the most of the food we had in our pantry and freezer. I’ll provide a final update sometime this weekend. Although I didn’t go grocery shopping the last 10 days of this month, we did got out to eat last night to celebrate our son’s “graduation” from preschool. It was a big day, in lots of ways, and so we went to Red Robin and splurged on milkshakes and dinner out. I’ll add that to the tally and report on this later in the weekend.

Puget Sound friends – here’s a News Tribune discount! For those of you wanting MULTIPLE Sunday papers, you can get up to NINE (9) of these subscription offers. Just multiple the number of papers you want by the package price. So if you want two Sunday papers delivered each week, you’d buy either two 26-week packages for $78 or you’d pay $104 for an entire year, 52 weeks of delivery. The big bummer is this is a pre-paid offer, so you’d have to pay that up front. But the good news is this can help those of you heading to the Dollar Tree every day and spending the money anyway! Get all the details here.
Have a great day!

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.
