Hey, I just signed up for their mailing list, on the link under the ad. After submitting my info it popped up saying thanks and that I would be emailed the circular at the start of each month. So it seems their ad is like WM's, just once a month.

If I remember correctly they used to have a 2 week ad and then go 2-3 weeks without an ad. And actually the funny part was that they really were only advertising most of their regular prices! There were only just a few actual sales.

Go to Fred's most every Saturday. I never pay for toothpaste since they have Crest for 99c and I have $1 Qs. Other things are free or very cheap. Acutally, I went to high school with the man who was head of Fred's last I heard. Baddour Industries or something like that owns Fred's I believe. They are better than Big Lots in that they usually have basically the same stuff and take coupons. They have some brand names, and some off brands. Mine doubles up to 70c on Sat.

There is a Fred's down the road from my house. We've only lived here for about 10 months or so. The main thing I have found to get at Fred's is their Fred's brand claritin. It's 4.99 for 30 pk, which is the best price I've found in a while. It can get expensive since me, DS, and DD take it every day.

I looked at the store locator and see that there's a Fred's in Baton Rouge. I have never heard it mentioned anywhere around here. Ironically, I mentioned it to my mom and she was like "Oh yeah, we have a Fred's" like I should have already known that - LOL. I see it's a Fred's Store and not a pharmacy or Xpress. So, i'm really looking forward to visiting, especially since Sav-A-Center left and I don't know of any stores around here that still double coupons.

I was just looking at the online ad and it kind of reminds me of TG&Y. Anyone remember that store? I used to like visiting stores like that (TG&Y, Howard Bros and Woolco) when I was a kid.

I have had 3 within 15 miles or more from my house and they just opened one closer. I never really shopped there for coupon items but I probably will now.
They do have very nice home decorating items at great prices and some of it I have seen at Kirklands too.

They have the Dawn dishwashing detergent for $1.00. Very good when you have a coupon for 50 cents. You get it for free. You do have to pay the tax on the item.

I shop at FRED'S on Saturdays. They have great sales on cleaning stuff.

Thanks for telling me about the Dawn. I've been so busy trying to figure out how CVS works that I'd forgotten about Fred's. For some reason they stopped putting an ad in our Sunday paper.
