We go to Freddie's; just consider him Ralph's cousin!
It's a NW grocery store. They go as far south as Medford and north past Seattle. Was started by a man in Portland named Fred G. Meyer.
My boss (the older one that passed away) was acquantances with him, said he was a little Hitler!He was with him one day touring a store. Fred Meyer was a short little man. He took his cane and started walking down an aisle and pushing everything off the top shelf and it came tumbling down to the floor and breaking!!
He had told his managers never to put products up on the top shelf, most women were shorter and couldn't reach them. If he couldn't reach them, then neither could most housewives!
Bet that manger didn't make that mistake again.

Fred Meyer is also my nephew's alias. He is in college and works in the summer at my sister's office. They do medical billing and he can't use his real name. No one if Florida knows who Fred Meyer is, so he thinks it's funny to use that as his billing department name!![]()
new Job Remember?DCA stocking at night...

I go to Target for the kids clothes... Alex is easy. All he wears are tees and jeans. In the summer he has jean shorts and tees. AND they have plus sized little girls jeans for Mikalah. Not many places do... and if they do, they tend to cost more then $10. Fred Meyers is just TOO far away! All they way down the street... ugh. Makes me tired just thinking about it.![]()

For me it's the closest store. Walmart is pretty far, the malls are closer but I dread the idea of taking the boys to the mall.I go to Target for the kids clothes... Alex is easy.

Ladies, it has been fun and my priority chart is down.
Good night!!
Megan, don't stress about your Mom. It will all work out somehow, and she will come to understand eventually. Be patient and loving, but firm with her, if that is what you need and want for right now.

They carry pricey sportswear, like Nike and Columbia, but also less expensive clothing brands like Russell, Osh Kosh, Carters and mostly unknown names. I hit the sales there, simply because they're more convenient than going to the mall with two little boys.![]()

Yeah, Fred Meyer is not just groceries. They have clothing, shoes, toys, gardening, home decor, jewelry, purses, luggage, electronics. And best of all....get this..... the newer stores have FREE Babysitting!! They have a little room right at the front of the store, usually an older lady working there and you can leave your kids there to play while you shop.My kids always loved Freddies Playland.
I would say they are similar to a Super Walmart, only cleaner & carry better quality merchandise. But of course they have higher prices also. I would say they are a step above Target price-wise. I go quite a bit because it's close to work, I can grab a deli sandwich, Starbucks and walk around there are lunch time. They also have some good clearance sales.![]()

I know about the new job-- duh!!!
I was looking at everyone doing stocking. They were not as fuzzy and adorable as you![]()
Yes, Lynn got 5 shirts and 3 pairs of pants and a skirt all at Macy's for $67 the other night!! IT's a steal, and they were all name brands!! I showed her some great pants I got for Lauren last year, hecka cute, all for less then the original price of one pair!!

Target is about a 5 minute drive... Walmart is about 10, and FM is about 15... I HATE the mall. HATE it. I think I have outgrown it, because I used to like it.Maybe I have just gotten cheap? But they do have a fun little playground for the kids. I used to be all about Walmart, but I dont really like the selection of what they have for girls. Its all kind of.... ugly.
