Fred's Shopping

Many of you may not know that Fred's doubles coupons up to $0.70 on Saturdays. I am unsure whether they accept Internet coupons or not; you will have to ask your individual store about that. Another great thing about Fred's (or at least mine does this) is that unlike Wal-mart or grocery stores that charge tax on your pre-coupon total, Fred's charges tax on the after-coupon total.

I got the three items in the picture below at Fred's for only $1.10 after coupons.

Dawn 14 oz. dish liquid on sale this week for $0.75
Used $0.50/1 Dawn coupon from P&G Everyday Savings Book (doubled to $1)
= free + $0.25 overage

Gain 11 oz. dish liquid on sale this week for $0.75
Used $0.25/1 Gain liquid coupon from P&G insert 1/16/11 (exp 2/28/11) (this doubled to $0.50)
= $0.25

Zest 5 bar soap pkg - $2
Used $1/1 Zest or Safeguard bar soap from P&G Everyday Savings Book
= $1

Keep in mind when you are doing these deals that Fred's only doubles the first coupon of like coupons in the same transaction, so if you have more than one coupon for a particular product, you might want to split your items into more than one transaction.
