Fred Meyer I think I love you!

Apparently a little too much.
$20.13! That's the biggest reward I've ever gotten. Not that it breaks my heart or anything. The funny thing is I think they have very high prices in general, and I don't do my main grocery shopping there. There are a few staples I buy regularly.

Their organic milk is the best price I have found. I also buy kefir, yogurt, soup, and canned beans just about every time I do my grocery shopping. It's also pretty common for me to search through the markdowns in the dairy case. Whenever it is marked down I buy every box of Stonyfield farm kids yogurt. At $4.89 a box, 8 yogurts in a box, and 3 hungry kids, it's not something I can afford! Several times I have bought it for as low as $.99 a box! I love it when that happens! Because it is about to be outdated we just put it in the freezer (it's the tube kind) and the kids love it that way.

Quite often they also have good deals on produce. I LOVE their produce department. I don't generally buy a lot, with the exception of their generic baby carrots (for some reason they are the yummiest), but will pick up a couple things when they are on a good sale. Like today, the grape tomatoes were a pretty good buy. Too bad my kids think these boxes are a single serving. I bought two today and we're down by one already.

Then there are the treats we get sometimes. These are the things that cost way too much to get very often, but Fred Meyer is the only place to find them around here. Things like these macaroons. Yum. The other two things are from the bulk bins. One is black pepper cashews, the other is carob energy nuggets.

I think it's interesting how the good deals always seem to find me at this store. Often times the things I need will be on sale. There is always something awesome like that. Sometimes the sale never seems to end. That happened with the coconut water. For months it was "on sale" for $1 and I would buy one whenever I shopped (soo good). Just two weeks ago it went off sale. Lame. That was the end of my coconut water habit.

I won't even start on the clothes, shoes, and house stuff we've gotten super good deals on.
