Was Harris Teeter's Super Doubles Worth It?
Well, for at least one of my bizzy coupon bees, today was a bust at HT. My husband and I walked into the store and the first person we saw was one of the few couponing men in my circle of coupon buddies. He told me that he could only find a couple of the items on his list because the shelves were cleared of the items he was shopping for. My dear husband (who would have rather been home watching the Nationals play ball) said, "Can we go home now?"
I had a list of about twenty-five items and knew that I would not buy them all. Keeping in mind that the coupon limit at HT is 20 and I had a coupon or two for each of the items on my list. So, I gave Hampton a few items to find and I hunted for the rest.
Total before swiping my loyalty card - $100.45 |
Much to my surprise, I found most of what I came to buy. In fact, I had to put some items back because I had too many coupons. I did get three rainchecks for items that were all gone: Kraft Homestyle Mac 'n Cheese $2 (free w/$1 q-pon); 9 oz. Dawn dish detergent 99¢ (free w/$1 q-pon); and Maruschan Yakisoba Noodles $1.19 (free w/$1 q-pon). I will try again tomorrow and may be again Friday, too. Hopefully, the shelves will be restocked by then.
But was it really worth it? Check the pictures of my bottom line.
Total after swiping my loyalty card & before coupons - $71.48 |
Total after coupons - $32.98! |
BUT WAIT!!! At check out I received four catalinas:
- $2 on my next shopping order (triggered by buying Kraft shredded cheese)
- $1 on any three Campbell's Condensed Great for Cooking Soups (triggered by buying (1 can Progresso Recipe Starter)
- Buy any Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit or Refill and Save $2 on a future order
- Save $3 on any "Glade Expressions" Oil Diffuser Starter Kit
Was it worth it? It was for me!
Happy Couponing,

Super Doubles at Harris Teeter!
Good Morning!
I have yet to hit my sheets.
I have my coupons clipped, organized in my little coupon wallet, my list made and I am ready to coupon at Harris Teeter's Super Doubles in the morning.
All coupons with a face value up to and including $2 will be doubled. Yes, $2!!! That means that $2 coupon is worth $4 off!
I just had to send this out to my bizzy coupon bees before going to sleep.
I am even thinking about hitting Harris Teeter in the early morning to catch some of these fabulous sales.
The sale starts at 7 am but I would need to be in the store by 6 am to shop the aisles and head for the register by 7 am.
The more I think about that the more I am more certain that I am not going to leave my warm bed for HT in the morning.
I will take my chances and hit the store around mid-day and fill in my missed sale items with rainchecks. HT rainchecks never expire.
You know what??? I may just wait until Thursday. It is Senior Discounts on Thursdays at HT...5%!
Yep, I am sleepin' in tomorrow!

The link below will lead you to some great sales match ups.

Here's a link to their coupon policy:

Here's some eye opening news about counterfeit coupons.
Be very careful about where you get your printable coupons.
People are copying legitimate coupons or just making their own with couponmaking software.
Either way, it is a crime and they are offering big money to find those folks.
Check out this link and then click on the "PSA" link for that coupon.

Bizzy Bee Stay-at-home-Moms!
I
spoke to one of my Bizzy Coupon Bees this afternoon and found out that
she will be homeschooling her little girls this year for the first
time. So, I decided to share these links with her and you all. I really wish I
had home schooled my children but did not have the foresight to do so.
Homeschooling was still very much in its infancy 40 years ago and then
only backwoods hillbillies and hippies home schooled. I still wanted to
anyway but my husband was firmly against it. So, I worked outside my
home educating other people's children while strangers enjoyed my
children's early pre-school years. If I had the choice to make again, I
would DEFINITELY be a stay at home mom like many of you and I would home school my children at least through their pre-school years.
A few of you stay-at-home moms have children who have graduated from high school and all the way down to little ones in diapers. There's something in these links below for each of you wherever you are in your stay-at-home journey.
If you have family and friends who are not stay at home moms or dads, talk to them and help them understand that the time they give to their families will never be a time they will regret. My family has embraced staying at home with their children. My daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and two nieces have devoted their lives to their little ones early pre-school years. They and you will never regret that decision.
Please, share these links with others in your circle of family and friends who have expressed an interest in being a stay-at-home parent:

Home School and Stay-at-home Mom Links - This link has 10 pages of links to other homeschooling mothers and couponers. If you have found the secret to organizing your life around your family, why not write a blog about it. It can be very lucrative. If you have a facebook and/or twitter account, you are halfway there. Just start jotting down your motherly ramblings and ideas about parenting, school ideas, educating your children and then watch your blog take off. Other mothers love hearing about the lives of other mothers who are able to survive the day to day pitfalls of mothering. The more children you have, the more others want to hear about it.

Shoppin' CVS
Hopefully, you have
used your down time from clipping this week to scan the circulars for great
deals for the remainder of the week. In addition, this was a great time
to scan your coupon folders and notebooks for expired coupons. Let me
just make this disclaimer. I don't think I will ever get used to finding
expired coupons that I could have and should have used before they expired.
I got an email this
morning from CVS. This email announced a 20% shopping pass for everyone
who gets a flu shot. Oh, yes! I am grabbing my sweetie and we are
both going to get our flu shots in the morning. I do not know whether the
shopping passes are one per family or one per card member. I don't know
if the shopping pass can be used on sale items or just items not on sale or
special pricing. I will find out more in the morning and let you all know.
There will be several types of flu vaccine available. Each type will target a specific age and/or health condition of each person who wants a flu shot. Medicare Part B is accepted. But, I don't know about regular medical insurance.
Lots of great deals with Extra Care Bucks attached and you can expect huge deals next week with a boat load of coupons to match. Just remember this: don't blow all those new coupons on those deals unless they will bring you down to free or just about free. Many sales later in the coupon cycle can give you even more savings.
Don't waste another minute. Go on down to CVS and get that flu shot!
Happy Couponing!
