Such is the life of a couponer.
You find what you think (and actually KNOW) to be a great deal so you run out and use all your coupons and pat yourself on the back. Only to find an even better deal the next week. I just have to remind myself I still got a killer deal on what I got, and I hope some of my awesome readers will be able to take advantage.
Incidentally, I may yet do some of these deals so I can give a few extra toys to my church's toy drive this year. Consider doing something similar if you still have $10 Sit and Spin coupons laying around!
I'm going to start with the toys because it's just such a HOT deal. Then I'll move into groceries. OK with that?
Toy Deals
Holiday Toy Wish Book – look for an "Extra 10% off 7-day bonus coupon" on the front. There is no limit and it can also be used on bikes. Your only exclusion is you may not use it on clearance items. Coupon also states toys must be from the Playville Toy and Sporting Goods Departments. (Sorry, no Wiis!) Here are my favorite match-ups.

Other deals:
Quite honestly, I'm BEAT with the amount of deals I've posted tonight in one sitting and all week long. I'm going to omit the deals around the store section this week. I hope you're all OK with that. I will tell you that in addition to the toy coupon I mentioned, there is an Extra 10% Home coupon found on the holiday Fred Meyer insert and an Extra 15% Apparel, Shoes, Accessories coupon on the clothing insert.
For more Fred Meyer love, check out The Grocery Gathering.
