Cheap Kraft Cheese at Fred Meyer!

Remember that awesome Kraft Cheese Catalina I shared with you a couple days ago?

It pairs wonderfully with the sale happening at Fred Meyer this week. Check it out:

Buy Kraft Shredded Cheese @ $1.50 each
Use (2) $1/2 Blinkie Coupons (look for these at the store – in the “blinkie” machine in front of the product!)
Pay $5.50 at the register

Receive a $5 off-your-next-order Catalina coupon!

You could then take the $5 Catalina coupon and do a second transaction, like this:

Buy 5 Kraft Shredded Cheese @ $1.50 each
Use (2) $1/2 Blinkie Coupons
Use $5 Catalina coupon
Pay $0.50 at register

Receive a $5 off-your-next-order Catalina coupon!

Thanks, Fistful of Coupons!

Incidentally, when I was at QFC a couple days ago, it appears their promotion is still running through the 27th…buy 10 Kraft Cheese, save $5 instantly. They also had the blinkie machine in the store. This would work out to $1.38 per bag of cheese after the promo. And after the $5 Catalina, you’d end up paying slightly less than Fred Meyer. However, given Fred Meyer’s overall lower prices, I’d personally opt to do the deal there so I could really stretch that final $5 Catalina!

It was about this time last year that Kraft was heavily promoted at the stores, and then it died down as summer waned. My advice? If you like Kraft cheese, stock up and freeze it! I found the shreds froze well and I used them for my holiday fondues and freezer recipes throughout the fall months.

Beware of two problems.
1. My store removed the Blinkie coupon holder. Was it empty? Who knows.
2. There are a few (newer?) varieties of the 8oz bag of shredded cheese (Triple Cheddar is one) that are not ringing up as 2/$3, but as 2/$6! I didn’t catch this till after I paid but my Fred Meyer was nice and refunded the difference.

Be sure to stop by my Facebook page where readers are discussing this topic, too! Seems the blinkie machines are sort of spotty, so yes, this would be something to be aware of. I also found the machines at my QFC, so that’d be another thought.

Thanks for the heads-up on the other variety/price!
