Fred Meyer Bonus Features: In Sunday's Oregonian Fred Meyer ad there was a coupon for "Take an Extra 10% off" All toys, games, bikes & sporting goods. This coupon would reduce the price of the card games. Also, if you are buying any baseball or softball equipment, this would reduce those prices - some of the sporting good items are also on sale this week. Combine that with the coupon to save even more. Also, this Saturday, from 9 am to 4 pm, is the annual "free fuscia planting day." You buy the fuscia starts (5 for $3) and Fred Meyer will supply the planting soil and plant the starts in your basket (you bring from home or buy.) This is a popular event. Plan to come early and expect lines.

Notes:
* Theresia doesn't remember if this required a coupon. Sometimes there is an instore coupon next to the item on sale.
** Games like these are good to have in your emergency kit or for Easter gifts.
