The next time someone jokes on coupons, they will be hearing from me "I got $199 worth of groceries for 68 effin dollars at Harris effin Teeter! Where you do shop?!" Well, I really got $225.64 for $87.04 because I bought some fresh veggies and fruit. And depending on the person I'm talking to, I'll probably leave out the effin.
This week until Tuesday, Harris Teeter is having their Super Double Coupon event where they double coupons up to $1.98. HT doubles up to $0.99 but usually every quarter, they double coupons up to $1.98 or triple coupons up to $0.99. So if you are shopping at Harris Teeter this week and the line is taking longer than usual, it's because someone is probably using coupons. Complain all you want but just know that person is spending a LOT less money than you.
Maybe the savings below will entice you to coupon. It's not that hard and I don't spend that much time on it. Any random spare time I have I do a quick search for internet coupons. I clip my Sunday coupons during morning coffee. Then when the store circulars come out, I check coupon blogs that match up coupons to the circulars to get the best deals. That easy.
I bought these 100 Calorie Right Bites which I usually don't buy because I refuse to pay the price for them even with regular coupons but I figured I'd try them. But since trying the chocolate covered pretzels, I'm probably not going to buy them again. I have been pretty good with portion control and I tend to have snacks that are more filling for the same amount of calories (I love veggies and hummus) so I won't be needing prepackaged portions. Good thing I didn't spend a lot of money! I have reduced my diet soda intake so the sodas are really for my husband who I haven't convinced to cut back yet. I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore shampoo but when you see the price you know why I couldn't pass it up!

Jeez... I wish we had a HT around here. I got the Slim Fast shakes at Walgreens w/ B1G1 so that was pretty good, and I got 3 Dawn dish soap at CVS for $0.20 total! Thanks to coupon & extra care bucks.
ReplyDeleteThat's still awesome savings! We should coordinate hanging out with HT's coupon events :)
