Fisher Price: free online learning games for kids!

 

 

I actually discovered this site a few weeks ago and it just dawned on me tonight someone else might want to know about it, too!

Go here to find kid-friendly online games from Fisher Price. The games help your kids work on letters and numbers and are organized by age. These games actually helped my son identify the letters and their sounds!  

I created a bookmark to the site on my laptop and my son quickly figured out how to press it, select, and play the game he wants. And he's only 3 1/2...smart little guy, huh?

If you're looking for something fun and educational (and FREE) to occupy your little one so you can get the dishes finally done, this might be the ticket!

Go here to see all the games.     

Just because it's on an endcap does NOT mean it's on sale

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but I wanted to share something from my Fred Meyer trip last night.

We were out of juice and I was about to head down the juice aisle when I noticed an endcap with the Fred Meyer 64-oz  apple juice displayed with a big orange "sale" tag and a price of $1.93. It was apparent a few had been taken, leading one to easily conclude that this was some great deal. 

However, when I read the sign closer, the regular price was...$1.93. A savings of $0.00. Hmmm. I went down the aisle to find the Kroger brand - same size - on sale for $1.49. 

While we're talking about this, I want you to pay attention to their milk prices. They frequently have the Fred Meyer brand with the coupon. Lately, we're seeing the coupon is good for $1.25 for a 1/2 gallon. However, if you go down the milk aisle, you'll most likely notice that the Mountain Dairy brand is about $2.29 a gallon - cheaper than the Fred Meyer brand with coupon.

Why am I sharing all this with you? Because it's important to me that you're savvy shoppers. Don't blindly assume that the store wants to show you the best deal. This includes a store such as Fred Meyer, which is currently one of my favorite coupon-friendly places for scoring great deals.
