I hinted that there is a Friends and Family sale that starts at Fred Meyer tomorrow. You will need to print this pass to use it. It runs 4 days and yields you the following discounts:
- 20% on apparel, accessories, shoes
- 15% on home department (includes TOYS!)
- 10% on electronics
- 10% on nutrition center (think organic eggs, milk, Annie’s, Imagine, and bulk!)
- 10% on private label brands in food department
- 20% on fine jewelry and watches
I decided to scout out a few deals to see what I could find you. There really are LOTS of options for this pass, so please consider this post to be suggestions/ideas more than an exhaustive list. And remember, you CAN use it on top of other discounts and coupons! According to the fine print, the pass is applied after the other discounts.

Deals in Home
Remember that you can use the 10% off Home Extra Bonus coupon!
There is also an Extra 40% off Clearance event throughout Home. You will need to check down individual aisles to see what you can find. While you can’t use the Extra Bonus coupon on the clearance items, you can use your Friends & Family pass!
Here are a few ideas I found….
Found these kids’ utensil sets in the dishes section…
Utensils $0.74
less 10% home
less 15% Friends & Family
Bottom line: $0.57
Oooo….baskets! Half off!
Plus, use the 10% off Home coupon AND the 15% Friends & Family pass!! I’m thinking these would be nice to fill with gifts for the holidays – maybe items you’ve picked up for cheap or free with your coupons?
Also, furniture on clearance. It was sort of mixed all in at my store. May be worth a poke around! This cute table was $249, marked down to $199, then an extra 40% off that, so it would be $119. Use the Friends & Family discount on top of it and the price drops to $101.49. Cool beans.
What about bedding? I found this Toy Story 3 Full Size Sheet set marked down to $23, and it’s 40% off clearance, too. So that would make it just $13.80. But hold the phone, Woody. Don’t forget your Friends & Family pass!! That’s just $11.73, pardner! Yee-haw!
Deals in Clothing and Accessories
In this department, your Friends & Family pass will save you an additional 20%. There are LOTS of deals to be had here, folks. LOTS. Too many to list, really. So here’s just a smattering.
AND here’s where it gets really exciting. There is a 15% Apparel Extra Bonus coupon in this week’s ad! Super score!
LOVE this deal -
Kids Korner Mini Gloves $0.99
Less 15% Extra Bonus Coupon
Less 20% Friends & Family Coupon
Bottom line: $0.67!
(Don’t you think it would be cool to buy some of these to donate this time of year? I do!)
Licensed Pajamas = already 50% off!! (So that makes them $7.50)
Less 15% off Apparel
Less 20% off Friends & Family
Bottom line: $5.10!!!!!!!
(I think I’m going to have to pick some of these up!)
Again, you’ll want to keep an eye out for the 40% off clearance signs. They are throughout the apparel section.
Other ideas…

I found these hand soaps and lotions on and end-cap in Cosmetics for $1.99 each. They have no brand listed on them. But they do have a nice golden coupon next to them – see that?! It’s for 10% off. These look like a knock-off of the fancy Bath & Body hand soaps. They might make a nice gift for someone.
Hand Soaps & Lotions $1.99
less 10% off coupon
less 20% off Friends & Family (it includes cosmetics!)
Bottom line: $1.43 each!
While you’re in cosmetics, you might take a look at some of the specialty items! I think you could assemble some of these (perhaps with one of the super cheap baskets above?) and make a nice Christmas gift. There is a 10% off coupon floating around on the shelves (trust me, it’s hard to miss) that you could stack with the Friends & Family pass.
Color Cosmetics
Buy 1, get one 1/2 off
20% off Friends & Family pass
DEAL IDEA
Buy (2) Covergirl single Eye Shadows for $3.49 each
Less Buy 1, get 1 1/2 off sale = - $1.74
Less (2) $1/1 coupons from 11/27 P&G
Less 20% Friends & Family discount
Bottom line: $1.29 each!
Deals in Electronics
Your Friends & Family pass will save you an additional 10% on your electronics purchases. The only exclusions: iPad, Kindle, and Nook hardware. That’s it!
Remember that you can stack these Electronics Coupons with the Friends & Family pass!
Here’s my favorite deal…
And I do believe this *should* work…
Xbox 360 250GB Bundle with Kinect $399
Less $10/$100 Electronics Coupon
Less 10% Friends & Family
Pay at the register: $350.10
Receive a $100 Fred Meyer Gift Card with purchase
Bottom line: $250
I know some of you will have additional ideas for this pass and I’d love to hear ‘em! Please share!

I purchased the xbox today because I was worried they would nt have any left on Monday, do you think they would let me return it and re purchase with the friends and family discount
I really don’t know! I think it’s worth asking – I would phone customer service ahead of time.
I called they told me I would have to return it and repurchase. So I went in and did that, they where not happy with me but I don’t really care it saved me $42.00
How was their stock?
I caution against buying the hand wash and lotions you’ve noted above for $1.99. I bought 2 of the lotions for $.99 each during the Black Friday sale, and it’s really terrible lotion — like rubbing your hands with water but leaving a sticky feeling. It’s made in China and definitely not a good quality product. I’ll be returning both bottles the next time I’m in the store.
Thanks for your feedback, Michelle!
I bought the Imagine broth today and it was actually $.80 after discount and coupon because the discount came off of before coupon. I bought milk, country farm bread (coupon in this week’s ad) and mushrooms $1.50 (also in this week’s ad) and received a 10% addtl discount with the friends and family coupon, too. Yay! Love when I buy things like milk and bread and get an extra discount!!
Oh wow – even better!! That’s the best deal on that brand of broth I’ve seen all year!
I want that leap pad for my 4 year old SO bad but both of our stores are out of stock too
Can’t wait to go in tomorrow for the broth!! Thanks so much for your hard work!!!!
One more thing to note: Hunts 100% natural ketchup (no high fructose corn syrup), standard 24oz size is 10/$10!! Stock up price for me! Thanks so much for this post and all the work you do!
Also if FYI if you are 55 or have a friend that is 55 you can go and get an extra 10% off today every tuesday this month is seinor disount day and normally the 1st tuesday of the month during the year.
We picked up a leappad when they were on sale a couple weeks ago. They weren’t stocked on the shelves but when we talked to customer service they told us they were being kept in the back because they were being stolen…bummer. If you don’t see them on the shelves make sure to ask an employee if there’s any in back!
