Fred Meyer One Stop Shopping

cheapest gas in town!

I have been to several Fred Meyers around Boise. This one has the best options, service, and lines. I was looking for a couch to put in my place and I had visited two other Meyers around town, this specific one has more stock on hand.
I purchased my new couch and the retail department worked with me on a time I could pick up my new buy. The next day I showed up with a truck but the truck bed was a bit smaller than normal. Have no fear the guy that loaded it up pieced the couch together in the truck bed like a Tetris genius!
Besides just my couch story, I come her almost weekly to get some of my groceries specifically, my Cheerios! They are almost two dollars cheaper than the other grocery stores.

Coming up from Salt Lake where Smith’s are everywhere and falling into the pitfalls of Albertson’s pricing up here, I figure if I’m going to take a bath on buying stuff, at least I want the fuel points for it. Food inventory here is a bit light, so even if I lived here, it would be challenging to use for my go-​to store, fuel points or not. There is a lot of department store stuff, given that Fred Meyer was primarily a department store chain, I suppose and that end seems pretty good. They would need to at least double their food selection, though, to really get to where they need to be. I wouldn’t say it’s worth paying the extra money for Albertson’s, as the savings here are quite pronounced, but just know going in they don’t have everything. At least it’s pretty clean inside and you can (almost) one-​stop shop, as they promise and if you don’t mind compromising. They also have fuel pumps, which automatically gets them no lower than a 3, but they are really not doing enough here to earn stars beyond that.

I have to admit, writing reviews of grocery stores is not my favorite sort of review to write. Especially, the large, chain super store variety.
But, sometimes, an experience shines so brightly, that a mention is in order.
I came here, limited on time, in preparation of a birthday party.
I needed, ingredients for the birthday boy’s requested dinner, a cake, candles, and balloons.
First, wonderful thing – I was able to get all of these things here. They don’t call ‘em «One Stop Shopping» for nothin’. Saved my last minute party planning life.
Secondly, I kind of decided at the last minute that helium balloons were a festivity must. So, cart full, I made my way over to the floral department to get the balloons. I asked a gentleman working the self-​check-​out where I get the balloons filled and he said he would do it for me. The self check-​out was bustling and in nearly constant need of his attention. He was able to offer swift attentive service to those at the self-​check-​out while still speedily filling my balloons. Seriously. The guy was a one man wonder. And, through all the chaos, he was perfectly friendly and accommodating to all throughout – truly a gem of an employee.
So, for the procrastinating among us that on occasion find ourselves in dire need of one-​stop-​shopping?
Get to it!

A brand new grocery store is always a good thing. Wide aisles and easy to find groceries. Love their organic and natural food selection. Less foot traffic than the location on Fairview which is great!

This location of the chain has a cheese counter, deli, sushi, and fresh fish along with a good selection of ales that I don’t find in some of the others. The self check out lanes work good for me allowing me to move in and out of the store quickly. The location also has gas that is one of the lower prices for gas on that side of town.
