Fred Meyer: Saving money the easy way

by Melody on May 15, 2012

I literally look forward to shopping the Fred Meyer Founder’s Day sale every year.  They have consistently fantastic prices on a great selection of items that we use in our house every single day.

I just wanted to share my trip today, since just about any average shopper could replicate it.  No crazy transactions and only two manufacturer coupons used.  This is where knowing your stock-up prices for your household can really make a difference.  For example, I have quite a bit of butter in my freezer, but $1.67/pound for Tillamook butter is WAY below my stock-up price.  So I stocked up.

The only thing I picked up that was not in the ad was a gallon of milk on clearance for just $1.49!  I’m going to use it to try Jessie’s fabulous Yogurt in the Crockpot.

For everything in the picture above, I spent just about $40, including 4 loaves of bread, butter, organic strawberries, toilet paper and much more.  My sweet cashier even accidentally double-charged me for the bananas.  However, at this point, my kids were trying to plank the conveyor belt and punch each other in the head so I didn’t notice.

Have you shopped Fred Meyer this week?  If you missed this week’s deals, check out my full match ups here.

My boys and I packed up and headed out to Fred Meyer for some organic cilantro, eggs and free diapers (did anyone else get those amazing Kroger Comforts coupons??).  After averting one potential meltdown in the juice aisle and my 3-year old taking a drink out of the display garden fountains (yum), we stumbled upon a fabulous deal on Pillow Pets.

All of the Pillow Pets are marked at 50% off AND you can stack the 10% off bonus coupon from the weekly ad to score some great prices.

Pillow Pet Pee-Wees on sale $6.49
Use 10% off bonus coupon
$5.84 each after coupon

Licensed Pillow Pet Pee-Wees on sale $9.99 (think Dora and Thomas)
Use 10% off bonus coupon
$8.99 each after coupon

Pillow Pets (full size) on sale $9.99
Use 10% off bonus coupon
$8.99 each after coupon

Licensed Pillow Pets (full size) on sale $14.99
Use 10% off bonus coupon
$13.49 each after coupon

My store had a HUGE selection and it should be noted that these prices run through June 16th, so you have plenty of time.  However, this week is the only week I can guarantee the 10% off bonus coupon.

Don’t forget to check out the rest of this week’s Fred Meyer match-ups before you head in.
