This week...

I know Harris Teeter in Morehead City is super doubling again this week. I haven't been since the new sales started so I was wondering if anyone has gotten any great deals at Harris Teeter?! Actually if you have found a good deal anywhere let's hear about it! Find a great deal or hear of one? comment below. :)

Are you couponing yet?!?!

It's really hard for me to resist the temptation to say "there's a coupon for that!" when I see someone if the grocery store with a cart full of stuff. If you aren't couponing by now, why?!?! What are you waiting for? Here's an example of why I wonder why....
Total Retail: $156.52
Total out of pocket: $42.36

Here's what I got...
4 cans of Maxwell House coffee
1 box Capri Suns
2 boxes Pop Tarts
2 Sliced Kraft Cheese
2 Bags Shredded Cheese
1 block Kraft Cheese
2 tubes Oral-B Kid Toothpaste
1 Secret Deoderant
1 Satin Care shaving cream
2 boxes Tampax

2 New York Strip Steaks
1 bag of Kale
1 bag of zuccini and squash each
1 bag of celery

2 Baily's coffee creamer

Getting started is the hardest part. Saving tons of money is easy!!!

Coupons Overseas

Allright, it's time to clean out your binders and organizers! Get rid of the expired coupons, sort them in stacks of "food" and "nonfood". The military bases overseas will accept coupons that are expired up to 6 months! How awesome is that?!?!?! There is a lady in Boise, ID that ships them to military bases and hands them out to military families. I'd like to ship some to her once a month so get them to me or if you'd like to send them to her here's her info....

This week at HT

The Harris Teeter in Morehead City, NC is doing Super Doubles again this week. The ad isn't as good as last week but there are still some deals that can't be passed up!! I had a friend ask me about a new rule they have about only accepting 2 coupons per item per day.....so if you have 10 pasta coupons and want to use them all you would have to go 5 days in a row. That just isn't going to work for me! Soooo, I'm wondering if anyone has run into this new rule???!!! I just went yesterday to get the Green Giant frozen veggies that were on VIC for $1 each. I had 5 coupons for .60 off of 3 so I used all 5 of my coupons and walked away with a great deal on some frozen veggies.

Some Good Printables

Go to www.coupons.com and there are some really good printables especially since HT is doubling up to $1.98 starting tomorrow.
My favorites are...
$1 off Oreos
$1 off Velveeta cheese
$1.50 off Philedelphia Cooking Creme
$1 off Kraft Mac & Cheese (5 pack)
.75 off Miracle Whip

Print them soon. They won't last long!

Super Doubles Week Starts Feb 16

I needed a few staples last night so instead of going to Food Lion that's just a minute from my house I went to Harris Teeter instead. I wanted to check out the unadvertised deals since they are still tripling to .99 this week. I wasn't impressed with much. Seemed like the same stuff from last week was still on sale this week. Their boneless skinless chicken breast was a good deal for $2.49/lb. I think you can find it cheaper but since I need it now I went for it. There were several things I wanted/needed that I didn't have a coupon for but was on sale. Man, I have to admit that it was REALLY hard to buy that stuff without a coupon. Now, milk and bread are one thing without a coupon but ice cream and cheese are completely different! When you've gotten used to paying a fraction of the actual retail cost it's hard to pay full price. I have been spoiled rotten the past several weeks by saving so much money! So the good news is that next week starting Wednesday, Feb 16 starts Super Doubles Week again! They'll be doubling up to $1.98 and that makes me so happy.

Printable coupons

Click the following link and you can print several good coupons. Lots of Campbell's soup coupons and other companies that do "Labels for Educations".

www.labelsforeducation.com scroll down to the bottom right where it says Savings Center.

I'm hoping that the stores will accept the ones I just printed b/c I grabbed paper that is white on one side and is yellow with crabs/beach scene of the other side. Of course, the coupon would have to print on the beach scene side. We'll see :)

Let's talk couponing

I've had so many people email, text and call me about couponing lately. I don't consider myself a pro by any means but I think a bunch of us together to talk about and share ideas would be pretty cool. Please leave a comment if you'd be interested in coming to something like that in the Eastern NC area.
