We have been in our new home for 3 weeks and are settled - unpacked, cars fit in the garages and paintings are hung! It is our new HOME!
Now we are venturing out to find many of the stores and shops we are familiar with such as Trader Joes, Costco, Kohls, Nordstroms and many more. Every single fast food chain and mid range restaurant is represented except for In n Out and there are many new ones to try. We had lunch at Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que last week and it was delicious!!!
Our big discovery is Fred Meyer's - a mix between a huge market, Target or Walmart, Chase Bank, Adidas and Nike shops, pharmacy , jewelry store, liquor store, hardware store and garden shop in a football field size store with plenty of parking, really nice employees and amazing low, low prices. One day cherries are $1.69 a pound and the very next day milk is $ .99 - are you kidding me?
Oh, and they issue points for shopping that you can use to lower the price you pay at their gas station - as much as $1.50 a gallon. We are currently paying $3.39 a gallon at other stations and $3.05 at Freddies. Is it possible we will pay $1.55 a gallon on our next fill up? We had shopped at Freddies in Alaska on a motor home trip but didn't really appreciate the full value of having not one, but two of them within 2 miles of home!!!
WE LOVE OUR FRED MEYER STORES - wish they delivered up our 3 flights of stairs!!!!
