Fred Meyer Deals 4/12 - 4/18 2009

I see lots of great meal combinations with the sale items this week! How about taco night with the ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, and avocados? Definately take advantage of the price on cheese this week if it's something your family uses! I consider that a stock up price! (Most bags of shredded cheese have a use-by date of 6 months past when you find them on the shelf. Double check the use-by date before stocking up!)

All Home clearance is 40% the lowest marked price!

Don't forget to use your reward coupons - you should have already received them! If you have not received them yet, be sure to contact Fred Meyer!

Unfamiliar with Fred Meyer's coupon policy? They allow you stack a Fred Meyer store coupon (FM coupons as I call them) with a manufacturer's coupon. They do not price match to any other store's sale prices, and they won't take other store's sale coupons. You can however use a manufacturer's coupons on any sale or clearance items, but they usually won't allow any overage if the coupon is more than the sale price (sometimes it slips through the cracks, but don't expect it every time). Our local Washington stores do not double any coupons. They do accept the printed internet coupons if they have a barcode (like bricks coupons or from Smart Source or coupons.com if you are unfamiliar with them) so if you are having problems with a clerk not wanting to accept your coupon and you are sure it's legit coupon, please ask to have a manager come on over to verify it.
