Fred Meyer (and its parent company Kroger) has many brands that they consider amongst their house brands, and for which they extend the 10% discount on one day per month to the 55+ crowd. Some of these are obvious, but a few are more obscure.
Here's what I've come up with so far, and what I've bought in each brand:
Kroger
- wide variety of groceries
Fred Meyer
- wide variety of groceries
- canned biscuit dough
- butter (now replaced with Simply Moovelous)
- flour tortillas
- saltine and oyster crackers
- white rice
- frozen fish sticks
- facial tissue
- chocolate chips (haven't seen in a while)
Moovelous
- butter
- cheese
One of the Perks
- instant coffee
- decaf and regular tea bags
- powdered coffee creamer
Smidge & Spoon
- granulated sugar
- distilled white vinegar
- imitation vanilla flavoring
- various seasonings in the spice aisle, most priced at $1
Heritage Farms (note: the Heritage Farms fresh chicken parts, in with other fresh meat, have not qualified for the discount for me)
- meat hot dogs and smoked sausage
- lunch meat
- sliced bacon
Simple Truth
- a wide variety of organic and natural foods, including milk and alternative milks, cheese, canned vegetables, packaged snacks, packaged meats, and packaged produce. As with the Heritage Farm brand of fresh meat, the Simple Truth fresh meats may not qualify for the discount. But I have received the discount on the cartons of soy and almond milk in this brand.
Mountain Dairy
- milk, heavy whipping cream, half and half
Private Selection
- a wide variety of premium foods, including frozen items like appetizers, cooked meats, crackers, bread, packaged deli items found near the deli, pure maple syrup, seasonings, and more. This is the brand of pure maple syrup that I buy when I have a high value coupon to stack with the Senior discount, usually in the fall months.
