Hi Darlene :) Thanks for leaving me a note on my Fred Meyer coupon policy blog. I remember, about 20 years ago, when they built the FM store on Francis Ave here in Spokane that they were actually advertising that they accepted competitor's coupons so the practice has been in place for a while, they just stop promoting it. Yokes did the same thing, they stopped promoting that they take competitor's coupons as well but I guess the difference is that across the board, in every store, they will take them, where I have found with FM its a store-by-store, sometimes even cashier-by-cashier practice. That was the motivation for me to get the policy, I was tired of being jerked around so to speak and alarmed by what I was hearing from other coupon users. Im not the only one, I saw that KCL also did a few post regarding the issue as well. Im still going to bug them for something in writing that can be posted and printed, the experiences I have had myself and ones I have heard about make me too nervious to shop there on a regular basis when I don't have a copy of the rules in my pocket, you know? Thanks again for your comment, I hope to see and hear more from you :)
So, why did I create yet ANOTHER coupon blog? Well, I wanted to showcase four things I couldn't find anywhere else.
1. I want to create a site that talks about the unadvertised bargains! We have some really great sites handling matching up the advertised sales with our coupons, but nothing out there just dedicated to the sales we should gossip about.
2. After running this blog for about a month, I think there is a need for a open forum discussion board to get ideas passed quickly among couponers. This idea is the brainchild of Jennifer H. (who is a voice of sanity for me). So, here is a new goal for this blog! Let's rock the Discussion Board!
3. When I started couponing, I was frustrated and NOT SURE if the item on sale was a good price or not! We all the stores jockey their prices often so it's hard to keep track. Well, I've created a spreadsheet that will help with this problem. [ COMING SOON! ]
4. Lastly, I can't find a good coupon site that talks about how to save money feeding our four-legged family members. I want to put together a place where we can all share how to save money when feeding our pets!
So, now you know the why. I hope you enjoy this site. Please feel free to contact me whenever you have (PSSSSST!) something to talk about!
