Harris Teeter Super Doubles

I was so far behind on organizing my coupons that I was really dreading super doubles at Harris Teeter this month. Don't get me wrong, I love saving good money. I just had no motivation. Finally, I just made my self get organized and after that I was super excited to go shopping.

I didn't do as well as I probably could have but I have a pretty good stash and really needed more perishable items than anything. I did however use a $25 HT Gift Card that I got for reviewing turkey deli meat for the NCSU Food Science department so my OOP was pretty low.

Keep in mind I used a $25 GC.

I think I could have done better but a lot of the stuff I bought I actually needed. I didn't buy too many stock items. Hopefully they will do triples again soon and I will be ready!

Harris Teeter Triples Brag

So last week was triples at Harris Teeter and it took everything in me to make it to the store and actually have my stuff together. I'd gotten so far behind on clipping and organizing my coupons that it just didn't seem worth it. However, we seriously needed groceries and as always the budget was tight. So I hunkered down and in got everything together. Granted I didn't put as much planning effort into matching the sales with coupons. Just getting all of the coupons organized what a small victory and was good enough for me.

So here's how I did:

Tic Tac Chill
Nature's Valley Granola
Newman's Own Vodka Sauce
2 DelMonte Diced Tomatoes
2 DelMonte Sweet Peas
1 DelMonte Peaches
Nestle Morsels
2 Mueller Thin Spaghetti
8pk Bounty Paper Towels

Ortega Salsa
Twix Candy Bar
2 Carnation Evaporated Milk
3 Swanson Canned Broth

2 Nature's Own Bread
Uncrustables
Frozen Dole Strawberries
2 Simply Orange Juice

Kraft Colby Jack Cheese
Tollhouse cookies

Total Before Coupons: $118.34
OOP: $55.50

Not bad if I do say so myself!

Triples Coming Soon to a Harris Teeter Near You.

 

Rumor is that Harris Teeter will again be tripling coupons this coming week (9/16). Which means they will triple the value of any manufactures coupon up to $.99 face value. (i.e. $.50 off coupon will take off $1.50) So get your coupons ready!

Also, I've heard there may be as many as FIVE inserts in this coming Sunday's paper.

HT Super Doubles

I made my first trip to HT this morning for Super Doubles. I wasn't in the mood at all to go grocery shopping but we have a packed weekend ahead of us and this was the only time I had to go. So I packed up the boy, coupons and reusable bags and headed out. I did pretty well but I think if I'd been in "the zone" I may have done better. This was our big grocery trip so there were alot of things that didn't have coupons but were needed.

2 packs Keebler Cookies
2 boxes Poptarts
2 boxes Raisin Bran
1 box Corn Pops
2 Packs Dole Fruit Cups
HT EVOO
HT Diced Tomatoes
2 HT Black Beans

Beginning of Super Doubles at HT

Today is the day. Get your coupons together and start saving.

Breyers Ice Cream is B2G3 and with the $1/2 coupon that should make for some super cheap yumminess.

For a list of all the great deals check out Southern Savers. I like it when someone does the leg work for me. All I have to do is make my list and pull the coupons.

I'm sad won't be able to go shopping until Friday :(. So in the meantime leave me a comment telling me how you did, I love hearing about everyone's great deals.

Super Doubles

I haven't even started recovering my coupon binder from triples and now there's talk of Super Doubles at Harris Teeter again. I've heard this from alot of reliable sources so I better get moving.

Super Doubles will be 8/26 - 9/1

HT Triples - Trip 1

I had to put a few things back because I had more than 20 coupons. This is the first time that has ever happened. So maybe tomorrow we will make another trip.
In addition to my good deals I'm pretty sure the manager gave me money back for something I never paid for to begin with. It's a long an complicated story and I didn't actually figure out what happened until I got home.

Here's what I got:

Corn Meal Mix
2 Muffin Mixes
Cookie Mix
Newmans Own Pasta Sauce
Huggies Natural Diapers
Wishbone Salad Dressing
Grande Tortilla Chips
Satin Care Shaving Gel
Gum Tooth Bruch
Earth Spinach
2 Avocados
Organic Bananas
Zucchini
Earth Grain Bread
2 Klondike Bars
B & J Ice Cream
2 Red Baron Pizzas
Florida OJ
Heluva Good Cheese
Curad My Little Pony Bandaids!
Kix
Dinner Rolls

OOP: $33.35
Saved: $46.19
Received: $5 back from crazy manager!

Let me explain... I had to IP coupons for the Kix and Dinner rolls that the cashier couldn't get to scan. HT has a policy that if the IP won't scan they won't take it. So she removed them from my order. Then the manager had me come over to the Service Desk where she tried the coupons again and got them to work. So she gave me the difference of the coupons tripled. I didn't really understand what happened since I had Jude with me and he was all over the place and the lady talking wasn't making any sense. Oh Well.

HT Super Doubles Round 4

Ok Seriously I think I'm done. Jude and I made one final trip to the Teeter yesterday. I think it's probably a sign you go to the grocery too much when your baby cries because he doesn't want to leave his friends at the checkout. (They know him by name)

Our Order:
2 Candy Bars @ $.95 ea BOGO (-$1/2 mfc x 2) FREE

HT Super Doubles #3

Seriously I keep finding more things that are free or that we actually really need... like bananas. Jude loves bananas!

So last night we made a family trip to the Teeter. I like night time family trips... it's a fun little outing where Joe and I work together to keep Mr. Baby happy and find the best deals.

Here's what we got:

Starbucks Coffee Drink $2.49 (-$1 mfc x 2)
Newmans Own Salad Dressing $3.59 (-$.75 mfc x 2)

I will actually be making ANOTHER trip either today or tomorrow to get some 7th Generation Dishwashing Liquid that will be FREE after Joe prints the coupons at work. (We were having some issues last night getting it to print from home.)

HT Super Doubles - Round 2

So I went back to Harris Teeter today to return the overpriced Toilet Paper. While I was there I picked up a few more items.

Here's my order:
Sucess Rice - $2 (-$1 IP x 2) FREE
2 Blue Bunny Champ Cones @ $3 ea (-2 $1.50 IP x 2) FREE
Luigi's Italian Ice $1.64 (-$.50 mfc x 2)

OOP: $.74

I could have got more frozen items except my freezer is jam packed full.
