I just got back from Fred Meyer and wanted to share some of the deals I found with you!

This was how I worked the “Buy 10, save $4 promotion:”

(6) Goldfish Crackers $0.99 each*
(4) Cheerios $1.99 each*
Used (2) $1/2 Cheerios coupons from 5/6 SmartSource
Bottom line: $11.90 for everything

*This is part of a mix & match sale. You have to buy 10 participating items to save $4 instantly and get the cheaper price. More items at my Fred Meyer post this week.

SunDrop 2 Liter $1.33
$1/1 coupon from 5/6 SmartSource
Bottom line: $0.33
(This is currently priced at $1.29 right now at QFC.)

Personal Watermelon $2
Used $2 off produce Rewards coupon*
Bottom line: FREE
(Pineapples are also $2 this week and would be a good choice for the coupon!)

* You must sign up for Fred Meyer Rewards and use your card to earn and receive coupons like these.

Snapware (starts at $1.69) – these were $2.99
$2/1 coupon from 4/29 SmartSource
Bottom line: as low as FREE (I paid $0.99 each)

I was surprised to find there were quite a few on the shelves! I now have enough Snapware, so I left my last $2/1 coupon on the shelf for some lucky shopper.

I reported these deals earlier, and they worked fine.

Kraft Barbecue Sauce
$0.88 each with in-store coupon (found in Extra Savings Booklet and on store shelves – limit 2)
Stack with $1/2 coupon from 5/6 SmartSource
Bottom line: $0.38 each

CountryTime Lemonade $1 (through 5/12)
$1/2 coupon from 5/6 SmartSource
Bottom line: $0.50 each

Stock on the Countrytime was better at my Fred Meyer today than my QFC last night.  The CountryTime is also $1 there, though it’s not in the ad.

Starbucks Refreshers $2.09 
FREE coupon from 4/29 Moments to Save insert (exp 5/15 – use ‘em or lose ‘em, baby!)
Bottom line: ALL FREE

Here’s a final view of today’s finds, complete with the posing princess. Notice she gets good mileage out of her holiday dresses. That was her Christmas dress from last year.

OH! And I just wanted to highlight this awesome discovery I made last week back in the gardening section….

I’m pretty much in love with these bamboo gardening stakes! The smaller ones are only $1.38 each (the larger ones, a little over $3). I used them last week to trellis my raspberries:

The ones I bought today I plan to construct some simple teepee style trellises for growing miniature cucumbers and pole beans. I got the idea last night while poking around the Internet. I “pinned” some of what I found on my Garden Inspiration Board on Pinterest in case anyone’s interested to see what I came up with.
