Oscar Mayer Bacon $1.50/1 Coupon is Back!! {GONE Again}
March 15, 2010

{Update: This coupon is now gone!}
Guess what? The Oscar Mayer high-value bacon coupon from Saturday is back again. This was only available for a few short hours on Saturday, but thankfully it reset today. This is a coupon for $1.50 off 1 Oscar Mayer Bacon.
{If you already printed it on Saturday, I don’t think you’ll be able to print again. It told me I’d already printed it the maximum number of times, but try for yourself & see.}
Here are a few ways you can use this high-value coupon:
Walgreens – Oscar mayer Fully Cooked Ready to Serve bacon is on sale buy 1 at $3.99, get 1 FREE. Use 2 of the $1.50/1 coupons (you should be able to print 2 by hitting the back arrow/refresh), which will make the bacon $.49/each. (Thanks Teri!)
Catalina Deal at Safeway, Albertsons & Kroger stores (Fred Meyer, QFC):
Oscar Mayer Bacon (excl Turkey) - valid through 3/21
Buy (2) = Receive a $1.00 Catalina back
Buy (3) = Receive a $2.00 Catalina
Buy (4) = Receive a $3.00 Catalina
*So, if you have access to more computers, then you can save even more by printing this multiple times! But, hurry as this coupon is sure to not last much longer!
Thanks for letting me know it reset, Teri!

Clearance Sales – Target & Fred Meyer
February 25, 2010
Have you all been checking out the clearance sales I told you about? I haven’t been able to check it out yet myself (still have had sick kiddos – my little one was diagnosed with RSV, a respiratory virus, over the weekend, but thankfully she is doing so much better & past the contagious stage), so I will be checking this out soon!
I’m hearing from readers that they are finding some great deals both at Target & Fred Meyer. Target is reported to have their bulk sections now at 50% off (this may vary by stores) with some items as much as 75% off.

One item to look for in the bulk section at Target: Mr Potato Head Multi-packs which may be on clearance for $4.24. Use this $2 off coupon & you’ll only pay $2.24 for a multipack. {I didn’t see these at my Target last week, but let us know if you find them at your store). Thanks Hip2Save!
Fred Meyer is also continuing their 70% off clothing, shoe & accessories sale thru this Saturday 2/27, so make sure to head in there to find some awesome deals!

FREE Purex Laundry Detergent at Fred Meyer
February 15, 2010

Fred Meyer is having a great deal on Purex Laundry Detergent this week – you’ll definitely want to try to head on over there to stock up on some laundry detergent. I know I will be!!
Here are the details:
There is a catalina deal going on where if you buy 2 50 oz Purex you’ll get a $4 catalina and buy 3, get a $5 catalina. This catalina will be printing thru March 7th. This looks like it is the case for all Kroger stores & affiliates (Fred Meyer is an affiliate of Kroger stores). So, check out your local Kroger store (or affiliate) to see if they have a sale on Purex as well, which you can combine with this catalina deal. Let us know in the comments if you find a great deal!!
Scenario:
Buy {2} Purex 50 oz laundry detergent
Use Fred Meyer in-ad coupon to make them 2 for $1.99/ea
Use {2} $.35/1 coupons from the 1/10 Red Plum insert
Final Price: $3.28 total for 2, Receive $4 catalina when you buy 2!
FREE & moneymaker after catalina & coupons!!
**You should be able to “roll” this deal (meaning use the $4 catalina to then buy 2 more Purex detergents & so forth)…just make sure to have a few filler items since it is a slight moneymaker & they can’t owe you the extra money back.
Note: Fabulessly Frugal is reporting that some people have had problems with the catalina printing. If that’s the case, you can try talking to your Customer Service department at your store. But, most likely you will need to call the catalina company at 1-888-8COUPON if it does not print for you.
What is a catalina? For those who are new couponers, a catalina is a coupon that prints from the register after you have paid for your purchase. You can then use that coupon on a future purchase, either to come back another time (they typically expire within a few weeks) or use it on your next transaction. I like to buy the items which will have catalinas first & then use the “catalina” coupons on the rest of my purchases within that same shopping trip.
Thanks Fabulessly Frugal & Maybe Frugal!

Fred Meyer $4 off Coppertone Products Coupon
June 11, 2009
Remember that awesome $4 off Fred Meyer tear-pad Coppertone coupon I talked about awhile back (here)–turns out it is still available and is good thru June 23rd, thanks to a reader tip! Lexie reported that she bought two bottles of sunblock, originally $10.99 each, using two of the $4 off coupons (orange tear-pad coupons right in front of the sunblock). Then, at checkout, a coupon printed out for a free stainless steel water bottle because she had bought two coppertone products. So, for $14, she got two large bottles of sunblock (valued at $22), plus a FREE stainless steel water bottle in the mail. That’s a great bargain!!! Thanks for this awesome tip, Lexie!
You could also use these coupons towards the Coppertone stick, which was $3.99, making them free (when I did this in May, the first cashier would not adjust the coupon down to $3.99–however, the next time I went, they were able to adjust it no problem, so I could get it for free–just depends on your cashier, as their policy is that they should adjust the coupon down to match the price of the item).

Fred Meyer Sales!!
May 16, 2009
I tell ya, I don’t usually shop at Fred Meyer, just because I’ve found some great deals at Safeway and Albertson’s lately…but this week, they have some great deals! I’ve actually gone twice this week–Tues evening and again yesterday. Thanks to my mentor from church, Katrina, she helped me out on Tues night and showed me all the deals so we could do it quickly! It definitely is a huge help to go with a friend to figure things out when couponing–it goes alot faster! And it’s fun, too! Thanks again, Katrina!
Since I know I have a lot of people who are totally new to couponing, I’m going to break it down as simply as possible for you with how it worked (sorry it’s now at the end of the week–these sales only go thru Saturday!!)::
Fred Meyer Deals
(Pictured Above)
-8 boxes of Kellogg’s Cereal (Limit of 8 per transaction)
-On sale for 2 for $5
-Use in-ad coupon for 2 for $3 (make sure you only get the types/sizes listed on the in- ad coupon)
-Used 8 Internet printable (IP) from Coupons.com or Kelloggs.com for $1 off $1(no longer available)
Final Price:: $.50 each (You could get these free if you use the $1.50 off 1 coupon from the 4/5 Red Plum newspaper insert)
4 Treetop Apple Juices – on sale for $1.50 with in-ad coupon (limit
Used IP for $1 off 2
Final Price:: $1 each
2 Tillamook Butter (1 lb) – on sale for $1.50 with ad coupon (no limit)—this is cheaper than Kirkland’s Signature Butter at Costco—GREAT stockup price
2 Tillamook Cheese (2 lb blocks) – on sale for $3.99 with in-ad coupon (limit 2 per transaction)—normally $7.99—Awesome price to stock up!!
(You’ll also see my extra purchase of 6 2pks of Gerber Baby Food – this was supposed to be on sale but they charged me $.99 for 2pks {and I had no coupons}—so this killed my transaction right there {ugh!}—I had both kids with me and didn’t have time to go back after I realized the error)
Total without coupons:: 46.78
TOTAL with coupons::: $23.92
Tues night trip (no pictures, sorry–it was very late when I got home)::
8 Kellogg’s Cereal Boxes - 4 Raisin Bran & 4 Shredded Wheat (In-ad coupon for 2 for $3; 8 $1/1 Internet printable coupons)–$.50/each
4 Tillamook Butter (1 lb)–$1.50/each
2 Tillamook Cheese Blocks (2 lb blocks) – $3.99 each
2 Tree-top Apple Juice Jugs – $1/each (on sale for $1.50 w/in-ad coupon; Internet printable for $1 off 2)
2 Fresh Express Iceberg Salads – on sale for $.50 with in-ad coupon (limit 4)–if you got the Coupons.com coupon a week or so ago, it was $.50 off–making it FREE (I couldn’t find this coupon)–so I paid $.50/each
Total before coupons: $41.92
Total after coupons:: $21.98
Here are some deals that I didn’t have a chance to do, but am hopefully going to go back one more time and try::
**Kashi products are 40% off thru Saturday–There were a number of Kashi coupons at Coupons.com and Kashi. One of the best deals is to use this coupon for $1.50 off 1 to get a box of Kashi waffles for $.29 (make sure to print 2 by hitting the back arrow and refresh)
**Tillamook Ice Cream–on sale for $2.50 (how did I miss this one–their ice cream is the best!! Yum!!)
**Electrasol – on sale for $2.99/box–use the $2.50 off 1 coupon (from the 4/19 Smart Source coupon insert)–making it $.49/box
**Coppertone Sunblock Sticks- $3.99 – there is a tear-off Fred Meyer coupon for $4 off right at the sunscreen area (I found the special sunscreen area set off by itself in the main aisles)–which would make this FREE!!! Now whether your checker will let you use this or not will depend. When we tried this on Tues night, our checker said the coupon would beep (because it was $.01/overage and she said she could not manually change the coupon).
However, I’ve heard of a number of people being able to use this–if you have trouble, they say you can go to Customer Service and have them show the checker how to manually change the coupon so the price of the coupon is not higher than the price of the item. I checked at another Fred Meyer store on Wed but they were all out. So, let me know if you were able to get this deal to work!! It would be awesome if it works–FREE sunscreen!!
So, did any of you take advantage of the Fred Meyer Founders Day Sale this week?? How’d you do??
