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.
Chicken Sante Fe, made in crockpot
Good morning! How are you are doing today? It’s getting chilly here! The house is 66 degrees this morning and I’m thinking we might have to turn the heat on soon! We use a combination of wood stove and the furnace for heat. I better get the wood stove inspected (it’s been a few years), so we can get that fired up. I plan to throw a meal in the crockpot today – maybe Quinoa Chicken Chili or Chicken Sante Fe served with rice. And while I’m out at it, I should dig out some pumpkin spice candles. 🙂
I should have QFC deals posted right after Rise and Shine this morning. They have a four-day sale that looks pretty awesome and you can get a great deal on All detergent, but you’ll probably want to print your coupons now.
Just a reminder that we are hiring for Target and Walgreens experts! Applications and cover letters are due by this Friday. Get all the details here.
*Ends today!* Only one more day to enter to win a $50 Kroger gift card! This gift card be redeemed at QFC and Fred Meyer or any Kroger-family store nationwide.

AMAZON DEALS
I post a lot of Amazon deals throughout the day. See the latest Amazon deals here.
I’m seeing Amazon prices starting to fluctuate more dramatically this week. This is most likely the start of the holiday shopping season for Amazon. I really try to find deals that are 60 – 90% off. But most importantly I try and find the “best price” for items on Amazon. For example, LEGOs rarely drop past 40% off, so I look at the price history and look at prices for other online retailers to determine what is a worthy deal or not. I try to provide deals for high quality items that are great bargains, as opposed to the very cheapest stuff that will likely be a great price, but perhaps not a great value because of the lack of quality. You will see an uptick in Amazon deals posted throughout the end of the year.
Make sure and check the Amazon add-on list for deals to get you over $25 or if you’re looking for extra great bargains that require a minimum $25 purchase.

I have chicken in the crockpot too….it’s that kind of day!
Anne says
Your Chicken Santa Fe also makes excellent enchilada filling. A month or so ago, I used leftovers from the freezer in small corn tortillas with canned enchilada sauce and a little shredded cheese on top. It was so rich, only 1 was enough for me with some salad on the side. I made my regular enchiladas last weekend and my husband said, “Are you out of the Chicken Santa Fe?” 🙂
