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! I flew back from Arizona yesterday after spending the weekend with my grandma for her 80th birthday. Due to costs and timing it was just me that went, so I was sorely missing my kids and husband. Got home yesterday afternoon, took kids to swim lessons, picked up dinner to go and we went home and watched a movie. I love, love, love to travel but you can’t beat coming back home! Now it’s back to the routine, which I’m really looking forward.
Here’s a related money-saving travel tip – I had originally picked my return flight so that I could fly with my younger sister and help her with her baby, who we expected to be about 5 weeks old. Well her baby came later than we expected, so she opted to stay home as it was way to early for the baby to fly. So then I was the only one going to the airport on Tuesday. I tried changing my ticket and flying out the day before but they wanted $425 (change in fare, plus $75 change fee!) and there was no way I was going to do that. BUT if you get to the airport early on the day you are scheduled to fly you can ask the check-in agent if there are seats on earlier flights and Alaska Airlines charges just $25 to move you to an earlier flight. It’s a guaranteed seat, not standby, and I’ve done this a few times when plans have changed. You risk the flights being full (but you can call ahead and ask how full they look), but it got me home about 8 hours earlier (in time for swim lessons!) and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I think this fee might be changing to $75 at the end of the month, but it’s still better than $425! Anyone have similar travel tips? I love to hear them!!
Yesterday we posted QFC and Albertsons grocery deals. We should have Safeway up sometime today. And I really want to try and get into Safeway today or tomorrow to scope out some unadvertised deals. Yesterday we shared some unadvertised deals at Fred Meyer.
Yesterday I updated the latest Amazon Add-On items here. These are items that are rock-bottom price and require a minimum $25 purchase to order. There are some fantastic deals in the list, which I expect to keep updated at least weekly through the end of the year. See the list Amazon Add-On items here.
