***BOTTOM DOLLAR DEAL!!!

Target is a great place to shop for deals, especially because they allow you to ‘stack’ coupons. I will be posting about stacking coupons later this week so keep an eye out for that! They had a few great deals today so I stopped by to pick up a couple of things.

In this past Sunday’s Target ad there was an advertisement for a Free first aid bag when you bought three participating Johnson & Johnson, Neosporin, or Band-Aid products. I had been lucky enough to find coupons in Fred Meyer in one of their ‘blinkie’ coupon dispensers that gave me a Manufacturer Coupon that was good for $3 off of 2 Johnson & Johnson products.

So this is what I did…

Target had small Johnson & Johnson gauze on sale for $1.67 a piece. When I bought two I got $3.00 off with my coupon. This totaled 34¢ for both boxes! In order to get the Free bag I need to buy 3, so I bought two more to use a second coupon and spent another 34¢. And the bag was FREE!

I decided because I was already buying four I should use one more coupon for two more boxes and get a second Free bag (For my sister-in-law). So all in all I bought 6 boxes of gauze for a total of $1.02 -PLUS- I got 2 free First Aid bags with my purchase!

There are still bags left and plenty of First Aid products on sale, if you get a chance run down and check it out! The bag has a hook and can hang for convenience and expands to a fairly large size to fit lots of items. Always keep an eye out for deals like this in local ads, you never know what you will find!

Happy Savings!!!

Fred Meyer Coupon Policy - Updated March 2011

The most important tool to success in using coupons is to know the store’s coupon policies. So to help out in your search for shopping guidelines I have found the coupon policies for many popular local stores for your reference. Print these and keep them with you at all times during shopping in case you run into a problem then you can reference the policies immediately.

Fred Meyer:
Quick Link (Easy for printing):

This policy is intended as a general guide to using coupons at Fred Meyer stores. Because there are many different types of coupons from many different sources, a single coupon policy can’t possibly be all-encompassing. However, these guidelines apply to most coupon situations.
Coupon policy is subject to change at any time.

In general:
• The Fred Meyer store manager has the right to accept, decline, or limit the use of ANY coupon upon view.
• The Fred Meyer store manager has the right to limit the quantity of coupons/items used/purchased in a single transaction, by a single customer or in a single day.
• We accept coupons printed within Fred Meyer ads, mailers, flyers or emails. Customers must present coupons in order to receive the coupon price. Our coupons will state any limitations and/or restrictions.
• We accept all valid, current manufacturer’s coupons. We do not accept expired coupons or manufacturer’s coupons that state they are valid only at another listed retailer (i.e., “Good only at Safeway”).
• Some of the coupons in our ads are Fred Meyer coupons and some are manufacturer’s coupons. The coupon will state if it is a manufacturer’s coupon. Only one manufacturer’s coupon can be used per item.
• Most Catalina coupons (the coupons that print out for you at our check stands) are manufacturer coupons and are stated as such. Catalina coupons that are printed with another retailer name may be accepted at Fred Meyer. Fred Meyer will receive credit for the coupon from the clearinghouse. Note: This only applies to Catalina coupons and not other manufacturer coupons that are designated as valid for use at a specified retailer.
• We accept valid, current print-at-home coupons, including those sent to you in Fred Meyer emails or that you find on fredmeyer.com, facebook.com/fredmeyer and twitter.com/fred_meyer. We do not allow print-at-home coupons that do not require any other purchase.
• We do not double or triple coupons.
• We do not accept competitor's coupons.
• Coupons cannot be combined with certain special pricing programs, including $4 and $10 generic prescription pricing in our pharmacy.
• Amount refunded cannot exceed the cost of the item.
• Customer is responsible for tax on all items, including “Free” items.
