Shopping At Fred Meyers

Freddies off Lakeway Drive

I like shopping at Fred Meyers! "Freddies", for short.
That's where we go to buy our groceries. The prices are fair and they always have things on sale.
They have a great produce section and a nice selection of organic products as well.
I like Freddies because it never fails that I need something more than just what's on my regular grocery list. I can buy a new pair of shoes or clothing or household items as well and I don't have to drive all over creation for one item.
I think about the only thing you can't buy there is a car! Freddies has just about everything else though!
The people are really friendly, even the shoppers! On the weekends they have a little lady offering samples of certain things on sale. She is a real gem! She's got to have the best job there!
Often times they will have girl scouts selling their cookies as you go in...they get you right where they want you! And I've seen people play guitar and sing while shoppers go in and shop. It's just really a fun place to shop! There are 2 locations in town. We go to the one on Lakeway (south). Then, there is one on Bakerview Road also(north). The one on Bakerview is a little bit bigger. It's not very old, maybe 3 years!
