      Not sure about your first post on the ground chicken, but the Santa Cruz is only the lemonade varieties. I have bought several Strawberry Lemonades at 2 different stores, but there was also peach and mango I believe. I believe this is in the ad, so do a price check if they aren’t marked. Also, I found the lemonades displayed on aisle ends, separate from the other juices which were 2/$4.

    Just checked my Sandy Fred Meyer and they didn’t have any Foster Farms ground chicken so I asked the butcher and he said he’s getting some tonight, but he mentioned that the meat is NOT on sale for $2.99 or at all ’cause the tag wasn’t on the shelf. Is the sale regional? I was ready to buy some and sad when it wasn’t there.

      Happened to me too with the ground chicken. S. Salem FM had the ground chicken, but the tag wasn’t on the shelf and I didn’t see the deal in the ad…

      Did you notice if they had the Banana Boat After Sun Lotion as part of the ‘deal’. That is one of my favorite summertime lotions.

    Fred Meyer in Seattle area (south end, Kent and Renton specifically) is making this even easier. Look for these two coupons. $3 off one razor (sorry I don’t remember the exact ones – I think its the hydro 3, hydro 5, intuition, or quattro – I was doing quattro so that one is for sure) or $3 off a 3-8ct cartridge refill pack. Also there is a buy one razor get one skintimate or edge shave gel free (up to $2.49 value). Ok so at the store where everything was most obviously displayed the razors were gone – duh. I tried two other stores, and the quattros were there. The best scenario I got was 3 quattro razors ($8.49 each) and 3 skintimate shave gels ($1.99) so that totals $31.44. Shave gel coupons made them free (-5.97), razor coupons x3 (-9) for a total of $16.47 and $10 catalina. That was better than I was going to do with my fb coupons and I got the girl products instead of the guy. There were other combos I did but that was the best one. I worked in some refill cartridges. What strikes me about this deal is that anyone can just walk up and do it. The coupons are at the store. If you dont’ see them right away keep looking in the area. Also the Fred Meyer coupon is better than the fb coupon since it includes refill cartridges and razors other than hydro. I just got home ladies and I left razors on the shelf !! go get ’em !!

    Jesse~ Yes you can use multiple manuf coupons in 1 transaction. Not sure what the limit per transaction is at Freddys but I have never run in to a problem with my “stacks”. Then again I’n not an “extreme” couponer!

    can you use multiple manufacturers coupons in one transaction?
    example:
    suddenly salad is .98 and i have 6 $1/2 for that item. can i use all 6 or do i have to do seperate transactions for every 2?

        Safeway’s $15 coupon book had them in it and the $125 of summer fun coupon book had them.

      You have to buy 12 and use 6 coupons because it’s $1/2 And you can do them all in the same transaction

    Does anyone know if you can use one of the Fred Meyer MQ at another store like Rite Aid? They are going to have their Banana Boat sunscreens BOGO next week.

    I just want to say thank you FLNW. I just scored the banana boat sunscreen deal. There were no coupons, so I kindly reminded the FM employee what the add said and she, somewhat tentatively went and got more. (I do not usually ask for help and I am newish to this coupon things, so this is sorta a big deal.)
    Whooo hooo! I almost bought sunscreen 3-4 times this weekend and I just decided to wait and I am so glad I did. I got 3 bottles of good sunscreen for less than the best deal I would have done it for, for one bottle, if I didnt wait. So, you guys are my suncreen heroes!

    Can I use a coupon from the Freddy’s ad and a manufacturer coupon on the same item? I know at Target you can do use one store coupon & one manufact. coupon. I just don’t want to try it and it not work and look like a dummy. Thanks!!

      you can use a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon as long as it isn’t one of those yellow Fred Meyer coupons because those are usually manufacturer coupons too.

        Okay. Thanks Misty. I think I will be able to use the coupon in the Fred Meyer ad for the BBQ sauce (the 5 for 5 one) and the coupon out of the SmartSource insert. Thanks again. Oh…and you mean the yellow coupon that is by the product at the store right? Just for future reference.

          Yep, you’re right. The ads are usually store coupons, unless they specifically say ‘manufacture coupon’ on them. Most of the yellow coupons in Fred Meyers (next to products) are usually labeled this way so they can’t be stacked. I just looked in my ad, and you definitely should be able to stack the Sweet Baby Rays ad coupon with your manufacture coupon. Just note that it says limit 5, and your man. coupon might be $1 off of 3, so you’d need 6 if you are trying to use 2 coupons. If you live near an Albertsons, they are on sale for a $1 right now with no store coupon needed.

            Eeek now I’m confused. Since the Freddy’s coupon says 5 for 5, do I HAVE to buy 5? My other coupon is the 1 dollar off of 3. I’m totally new to this whole couponing thing…what’s my best deal? Thanks!

    Does anyone know what a true stockup price would be for tillamook butter? $2.50 each seems pretty low to me.

      May 23, 2011 at 7:34 am

      IDK about Tillamook but I pay less than $2 ea at Costco for store brand so for me stock up would have to beat that.

        Is it still less than $2. I thought last time i was there it was around $2.60 or so. I know it’s been $1.67 during holiday times, but if it’s still that low, that’s great.

      $2.50 is good for “out of season” (baking season) butter prices. $2 is a true stock up price. $1.50 is my “go-crazy” price

    My store in Vancouver had $4 Coppertone coupons but only $2 Banana Boat qs. Still with the Cat it makes for some pretty cheap sunscreen.

      I saw BOTH the $2 and $4 banana boat coupons in Canby. It was confusing as the stacks were there on opposite sides of the display.

        I read on another sight that they may be putting out the $4 qs later this week because the $2 expire 5/24. A lot of people said they were going in Wed. to do the deal.
