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! This morning didn’t quite go as planned. My sweet girl appears to have a stomach bug, which presented itself in the car on the way to school. Poor thing. I was just talking with a friend about all the bugs going around with the start of school. I’m hoping it’s a 24-hour bug that goes as quickly as it came. We’re taking it easy today and watching The Croods on instant video. It doesn’t come out on DVD or Blu-ray until October 1, but you can buy it now on Amazon for $12.99 – $14.99 and watch it instantly! For me, today, it’s worth the price not to run anywhere and I actually prefer the digital version since it’s available for us anywhere we have internet – no case, no scratching the DVD, no hassle. Have you seen the Croods? I think it’s hilarious.
Save the date! This Friday, September 27 at 9 a.m. PST I’m co-hosting a National Coffee Day Twitter Party with the great people at International Delight. We’ll be talking coffee, coffee, coffee and your favorite International Delight flavors. Join the party at #IDCoffeeDay and you could win a ID and Folgers prize pack valued at $55.
This Saturday, September 28, you can get FREE admission to museums all over the country thanks to Smithsonian Magazine. All you have to do is head over to the Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day page, fill out the form and select the museum you’d like to attend. Your tickets should be emailed to you!
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.
Head over to the Snickers Facebook page and request a coupon for FREE Snickers Bites. Limited to first 10,000 a day. I was just able to do this, but yesterday I tried and it wouldn’t load (too many people trying to access?). Hope it works smoothly for you! Let me know if you get it!
