Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How’s it going today? Yesterday I went grocery shopping at Fred Meyer – their Anniversary sale is HOT! I was able to stock up on cereal for $0.50 a box – it’s been AGES since I’ve found a deal that good on cereal (see deal details here). For dinner we had baked potatoes. I was really tempted to pick up pizza or go out to eat – but we were strong and baked potatoes are insanely easy and inexpensive. Top them chili, cheese, sour cream, chives, avocado, olives, bacon bits . . . so many ways to doctor them up. What are your favorite baked potato toppings?
Did you know you can make baked potatoes in the Crockpot? That’s right! So easy. I also like making mashed potatoes in the crockpot because I hate boiling the water to make them on the stovetop.
I’m really excited to tell you about this HOT promotion for PhotoBarn – they are giving customers $40 in FREE PhotoBarn cash. That’s right, just use code 40PBCASH at checkout and you’ll get $40 off your total. And their prices are SO reasonable you can get a FREE item (or two) with this credit, just pay shipping and handling. I ordered the photo above on a wooden 5×7 matt and paid just $9.99 shipping!
