Did you notice the $1/2 Sour Patch kids coupon in last weekend’s (5/13) SmartSource?

I spied this deal at my Fred Meyer last night:

Sour Patch Kids $1.25 each 
$1/2 coupon from 5/13 SmartSource
Bottom line: $0.75 each!

I forget how long the deal is good through – but I want to say at least June. Sometimes these will go on sale for a $1 each, in which case the coupon would be a better deal, but $0.75 isn’t bad either. Don’t forget to check out this week’s HOT Fred Meyer ad if you’re planning a trip.

Have you found anywhere else to use this coupon?

And the winner of the Fred Meyer $25 Gift Card goes to…

Kate!

If I were to win the gift card, I would use it to purchase a new garden hose so I could water my garden of veggies I bought last week at Freddy’s.

Congrats, Kate – looks like you’re getting that hose! (And by the way, they are on sale this week, too!). Check your inbox – I just sent you an email with further instructions.

If you didn’t win, make sure to keep an eye out for more giveaways here at The Coupon Project!

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.

PS – Don’t forget to check out my Fred Meyer deal post for the week to see what else is on sale! And then, make sure to drop by and enter for your chance to win a $25 Fred Meyer Gift Card this week!
