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. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I shared a post yesterday with a round-up of Cinco de Mayo inspired recipes. Many of these ingredients are on sale at local stores – so they are going to be some frugal options this week!
Yesterday was Star Wars day! We stopped into the Toys R Us at the Tacoma Mall and both my kids got a FREE Star Wars ship. We’ve never made it to the store for one of these free build days – it was so cool! Did you go?
A scan of the newest Costco Coupon Book (for May) was posted yesterday. We will be heading to the store in the next week to find out the final price, after coupon, on all the items in the coupon book! It should be posted before May 9.
Yesterday was smokin’ for Amazon deals – some of them are no longer available, but lots are. Things have been a little slower this last month, so it’s nice to see the deals picking up and the number of “best price” items increasing.
We are sticking to our May Budget Challenge around here! We have been avoiding the store and sticking to our meal plan. It has been awesome. I’m starting to get nervous for the Fred Meyer Founders sale – starts Sunday May 12, I know I’m going to want to go shopping there, but we’ll see what sort of deals they’ll have before I get too anxious. Read about our May Budget Challenge here and see our meal plan here.
