Fred Meyer to sell guns

[raftman]

Hope this expands to include the Beaverton and Hillsboro Fred Meyer stores at some point. I'd be pretty thrilled.

Unfortunately, as it is today, sales, or anything gets advertised in the media or their web site. To find out about sales, you either go to the stores or give them a call.

I wonder what would be the best way to use this forum to regularly (every Wed) obtain and post their items on sale. At least until they figure it out.

Scappose freddies has sold Ammo all along. Prices were crazy but they had ammo when there was no ammo to be found.

They have a gun counter now, rifles, shotguns and handguns. Over priced but fun to look at.

I bought a LCP last week with the sportsman show coupons and those rebate things they send in the mail.....final price $239.

Of course I got more reward points and fuel discounts.

Using the same system last year with some savings certificate in the paper and rebate mailers, etc.... picked up an XDM-9 for $460.

I'm not old enough, but every first Tuesday of the month they have a senior discount for 55 and older for an additional 10% off ammo and firearms.

Over priced.....no.....just need to pay attention and work the system.

On top of that I used to spend $50 bucks in gas running around looking for the best deals. Would drive to Bob's, then to Sporties, check out bi-mart, etc...only to save to $50 bucks for a net gain of $0.

I'm hoping they run those coupons at next years show.....those made for some great deals.

I was at Walmart last week and they had a 770 Remington combo for about $350. The exact same combo at Fred Meyer was $320. They had the exact same Sentry firearm safe at Fred Meyer for nearly $20 less then Walmart. With the bonus coupons that Fred Meyer runs every other week in their ads that same safe would be $50 less.

I like coupons!

Any word if the Oregon City Freddie's with be getting involved in that?

 

[Oohrah]

I can't confim it to be the truth, but this started in their store in Alaska, and decided the coastal towns with stores would carry firearms and related items. No a clue how other stores were selected if by size or what. A good selection is found in the store nearest me, and any firearms store is a good one in my way of thinking. Somewhat high on prices, and it's new, but clerks are not very real sharp on the products. The family who owns Freddy's now is a very old conservative grocery food chain from the midwest.
Wisconsin I believe. So it really is kind of a surprise that they would expand to firearms and ammo.

Nothing going on in the Battle Ground store, which they just finished remodeling.

Last night I talked to Dawn from the Newberg's Freddies. She said only 5 stores in the 48 states carry guns.

Was it just the sporting good coupon? Was seeing if there was any specific coupons? If I can couple some coupons, along with employee discount I might just have to go pick up a shotgun lol.

 

[torpedoman]

checked all of them in spokane and no guns here.

 

[feedyourhead]

Wonder if I can get the wife's employee discount since it is sporting goods, makes me want to take a drive to see.

Yes it does work for 15% off

 

[onearmedswordsman]

checked all of them in spokane and no guns here.

Only five stores, all in Oregon:
Astoria
Bend
Brookings
Newberg
Scapoose

Oohrah!!! Pretty lucky to have one in my nearest town. It's all good and that more means better prices as competition creeps in. Some advertisment in the paper. They could have more clerks with more knowlege, lower prices, but really seem to have a fair selection of firearms and ammo. Important part is there seems to have an inventory flow, where you are not looking at bare shelves

My wife and I recently took our children to Toys R Us to buy some toy guns. We asked a store clerk there if they had any, she replied " Toys R Us does not sell anything that emulates a real gun." So we said...OK..? and went to Fred Meyer. Fred Meyer did have a collection of 6 or so toys guns that did "emulate" a real gun. My kids love them. O'yeah they sell the "ammo" for the cap guns too.

Hey, any word on them selling them in Washington?

 

[Russianfist]

I recall Freddy's selling guns............about 20 years ago, or so.

 

[Hendo]

Hey, any word on them selling them in Washington?

zeezee - See page 6 post #59. That was in Nov 09.

 

[zeezee]

I just got an email back from Fred Meyers (Cheryl Kindwall) and she says

"Regarding Washington, I agree with you! I would love to expand in to that state but I am not able to provide any information at this time. I hope we will be able to do so in the near future."

Oh well.

Thank you

We bought the wife a Marlin 795 there, it worked out to be acouple bucks cheaper than Bimart. Overall it wasnt to bad shopping there, they did have a Walther P22 in digital that I want to pick up its only 330 or so with discount. We asked about coupons and they said they wont ever have any coupons on firearms or ammo. We checked the ad here in Corvallis because the ads are sometimes tailored to the area and it even said they were excluded which kind of sucked.
