Posted on by Leave a comment

I love this sale…..Fred Meyer canned tomatoes or  beans – 2 for $1,  limit 10, with in-ad coupon.

*We were having tacos one night for dinner and we didn’t have any refried beans to go with it.  I had a can of pinto beans, so I drained them, mashed them up, added a little garlic powder and heated them up.  They were way better than regular canned refried beans, and half the price….Rosarita refried beans are also on sale at $1/can..
