Fred Meyer Clearance

Hey, I just got word from one of my readers who found some AWESOME clearance deals at Fred Meyer. She shared with us and so we are sharing with you.... Here is what she had to say.....

The Fred Meyer store I go to is in Sumner and they have purged big time with some awesome clearance & 50% deals. Lots of Softsoap is 50% off. I always head straight to the carts at the back of the grocery store where they keep them. Yesterday I got pkgs(leftover from Xmas) of Crew shampoo/conditioner for $5.50 from $11.

Wow, what a deal! So, just a reminder to keep your eye out and hopefully score some awesome deals!

Thanks for sharing Liz!

My shopping scare today....

Okay, so I stated in my last post I was supposed to head on over to Winco to get some fresh fruit for on the cheap. I hit Safeway and then went on over to Rite Aid and picked up a few things. Things are going good right now. I mean, the weather wasn't that great and the roads were pretty slick (ya, not very smart of me to be out in all of that, but we just took our time). So, things are lookin' good. I get my deal on and I'm in a great mood. Nothing to be upset about. So, I am a bit frazzled for some reason when I get up to the cash register and get done. Don't know why.

So, I'm chattin' it up with the cashier, who has started to get his wife to coupon (YAY!). Really nice guy. Anyway, he was makin' fun of my little Rite Aid card (I lost the big daddy a month or so ago). He keeps telling me I need to put it on a keychain so it doesn't get lost. Anyway, we finish up the transaction and I go on my merry way, ........or so I thought. I grab my stuff out of the cart, grab my coupon bag that weighs 22 POUNDS!! I just weighed it and that is how much it weighs! WOW!! Anyway, we go on our way to Winco. We get to Winco and Blakey gets himself unbuckled. I tell him that I am NOT even going to take my coupon bag in, so then I'm not tempted. He is all excited because we are NOT going to coupon, just gonna grab some "yummy fruit." So, I open the door and much to my suprise......I say....."Blakey......uhhh.....dude.......where's my purse?" Really, I'm asking this 4-year-old, who barely knows how to put his shoes on the right feet? Really? "Blake, have you seen my purse? Do you know where it's at?"  He says, "I don't know. I don't know where your purse is at." OH MY GOODNESS, DID I JUST WALK OFF AND LEAVE MY PURSE?!!! HOLY COW!!! Well, at least I had my priorities straight 'cause I HAD my coupon bag with me. ;) Didn't have my purse, but hey, I HAD MY COUPONS. So, I get my receipt out for Rite Aid and I call them and tell them that I was just there like five minutes ago and I left my purse in a cart up front. He tells me to hang on so he can see if he can find it. That was probably the longest minute of my life. Luckily, some nice, honest, customer turned my purse in to the cashier. A MILLION THANKS TO THE PERSON WHO TURNED MY PURSE IN!!!

So, as I'm driving to Rite Aid, I'm thinking of how lucky/smart I am to not carry my money cards, like my gift cards and debit cards, or even my license in my purse.;) I had them right in my pocket, BUT there were coupons in there and $40 cash that I have been hanging onto FOREVER. What would I do without all of those coupons that I have worked so hard at collecting OR even my 40-bucks that I have enjoyed hanging onto forever?

So, I get there and there she was waiting for my, my little black purse with all of my coupons, scissors, money and whatever stupid stuff I have in it.  But you know what? That's my stupid stuff and I am so happy and thankful that I have my "stupid" stuff back. :)

So, my husband was having a bad day at work and this was my opportunity to call him and share with him what JUST happened and kinda show him how much things could be worse. Maybe even give him a chuckle. Wow, boy was I ever greatful to just keep going on about my day with all of my "little" worries.

Just thought I would share "my" little story.

Thanks!

My Shopping Trip Today

Well, Blakey and I went out to do a little shopping today. I had a Catalina expiring at Safeway, so I wanted to use it up before it expired. I also needed some more fruit as I am running a bit low and I need it badly in order to stay on track with my WW plan.  So, we "planned" on hitting up Winco AFTER we went to Rite Aid (for cheap fresh fruit). Well, I had to stop by Rite Aid as it is next door to Safeway, right? Really, I needed to see if they were restocked on a couple of things, but they did not have much of what I needed. I was to pick a few things up though.

Here is what we were able to pick up for a good deal....
