Super Double Coupons

I finally made it over to Harris Teeter for Super Double Coupons. I think this morning was a good time to go, because they were fairly well stocked after the weekend. There were a few items the other couponers had already bought out, but nothing I can't live without.

Activia yogurt ($1/1), Texas Toast croutons ($.50/1 + sale), Wholly guacamole ($1/1) were totally free. Frosted Mini Wheats are on sale BOGO this week, so depending on which coupon I was using, I got boxes for free and for .35/ea. Colgate total would have been free (BOGO + .75/1 doubled), but my store was out. Check your store. I'm pretty sure Borden's Sensations sliced cheese is also free with $1/1 coupon from yesterday's paper. (Hadn't cut yesterday's coupons yet - just browsed through them.)

Lots of other items weren't free, but still very good deals after doubled coupons. Fruit 2 O drinks .29/ea, Chex cereal $1/box, Capri Sun sunrise drinks .89/10-pk, Hunts Tomato Ketchup .36/ea, Kraft Bagelfuls .89/ea, Activia yogurt drinks, .79/4-pk, Philly spreadable cream cheese tubs .50/ea, Starbucks Ice Cream $1/pint, Blue Bunny ice cream $1.60/half gallon (BOGO + coupon).

I also took advantage of their B2G3 free deals this week - Pop Secret Popcorn and those 8 oz. sliced deli meats and cheeses. And I came across several great meat markdowns in which the meat was already BOGO this week, so they'd ring up half of the marked-down price. (I got London Broil, fresh chicken Italian sausage, and cubed steak.)

Total before all BOGO and coupons, $133 and change. Total after BOGO sales, $88 and change. Grand total after doubled coupons $53.76.

NOTE: Harris Teeter has made 2 important changes to their coupon policy. First, internet coupons will now be treated like any other coupons and subject to doubling or tripling. Yay! Second, coupons usage is now linked to your VIC card. After the daily limit of 20 has been reached, the rest simply won't double or triple, no matter how many stores the customer visits.
