Triple Coupons at Harris Teeter = cheap groceries!!

Trip #1 on Friday 1/2/09:

This was my first run at triple coupon weekend at Harris Teeter. Let me tell you, I never imagined that triple coupons would be a reason I could barely sleep due to excitement and having me spend several hours, giddy, preparing for this moment when I get home and spread out the goods and review my savings. A little bit crazy, agreed, but very money savvy so I'll take crazy if this is what it gets me!

The low down:
I needed milk and wanted salad so that was $6 of this (a third of the total price) so keep that in mind!

Before coupons total: $58.41

VIC savings: $3.99

Triple Coupons savings: $34.83

OOP Total Cost Paid: $19.59 for 22 items!

Savings= $38.82

It is just under $14 for the triple coupon 20 items.....wow!!

Triple Coupons Take 2 Morning of 1/4/08:

The low down:

Sunday the new paper came out with FIVE inserts. I get one delivered, and so I went to explore the coupons and they were basically amazing!! So, I did what I said I would never do, I threw on clothes and put my hair back and ran out for more papers. No shower, no fuss, it was a bit insane. Thriftynestor was a bit shocked and was curious if I had ever thought that it would be triple coupons at Harris Teeter that got me to go out in public before a shower. Yes, the moment has come.....I got 2 more papers and went through to cut out all the grocery ones I wanted to use. I headed (still no shower) to Harris Teeter for a round of triple coupons.
