Harris Teeter

A grand total of .77!!

This is from Harris Teeter last week when they had their triple coupon event! A quick run down of what I got:

Tabasco Sauce
4- Muffin Mixes
King Size Reeses Cup (So I wouldn't have a negative balance.)
2- 35 ct. Chinet Paper Plates
4- Ortega Fajita Seasonings
Pizza Crust Yeast 3 pack
Hawaiin Sweet Onion Chips
Peter Pan Peanut Butter
Smuckers Strawberry Jam
Texas Toast Croutons
Pro Max Protein Bar
350 ct. Q tips
Burt's Bees Lip Balm
2- Eggo Waffles Plus Fiber
Texas Garlic Toast
Land O Lakes Butter w/ Olive Oil
Heluva Good Onion Dip
2- Yoplait Greek Yogurts (TJ didn't like them at all!)
2- Yoplait Go Gurts
Disney Pixar's Cars Bandaids

The kicker? I had a prescription filled that cost me $1.73- Valium for my dental apt. I'll admit I'm psycho about having any dental work done! Anyway, they had a promotion going on- fill any prescription and get a $20 credit good on your next order but it came off the same day. Not too shabby! :-)

Farm Fresh 5/25/11

I took a little break from couponing for this week but I just couldn't resist doing double $1 coupon day at Farm Fresh after taking a quick look at their ad in the paper this morning. No picture today since I was in a hurry to put away the refridgerated things before heading back out the door. Here's what I got:

5- 12 packs of soda (I know! Bad!!) $8, Buy 4- 12 packs and get 1- 12 pack free for a total of 5/$12, 2- $1/2 Dr. Pepper 12 packs, doubled
2- Sweet Baby Ray BBQ Sauce FREE, .79 each, $1/2 MC doubled- it took off the full $2 so I earned a credit of .42 towards everything else
2- French's Yellow Mustard .39 each, .99 each, 2- .30/1 MC doubled
6- Oscer Mayer Hot Dogs .99 each, no coupons! There was a buy 10 participating items event, including the mustard and bbq sauce above.
2- Tyson Fajita Chicken Strips .50 each (?!) $2.50, 2- $1/1 MC doubled (Great for Tim to take to work along with the .25 Fajita seasoning from last week!)
2- Breakstone Zesty Sour Creams FREE, $1.50 each, 2- $1/1 MC doubled (Also great for the fajitas!)
2- 4 packs of Activia Yogurt FREE, $2 each, 2- $1/1 MC doubled, picked up from a tear pad last week at Harris Teeter...no shame!

Didn't earn gas rewards this time since I went to a different Farm Fresh but I made out with a lot of freebies and cheap goodies! :-)

CVS/Walgreens/Rite Aid

So, I got so much stuff and had a super busy day that I decided not to post each individual item and its cost and which coupons I used BUT I will share the OOP/rewards earned/amount saved! I also want to add that I ended up with 12 FREE rolls of the Scotch tape without clearing any shelves. Walgreens literally had about 200 rolls sitting there and hardly any were missing so it seems no one here knows the crazy deal on these things! I handed an old lady some of my cereal coupons that landed her with .50 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats and the look on her face was priceless! :-)

OOP: $75 even (not sure how I managed that!)
Rewards earned: $25 (after using some from purchases made today so I have $25 sitting in an envelope!) making the total OOP: $50!
Saved: $324.95?!?!

I woke up to a text this morning from a fellow couponing friend telling me Harris Teeter is TRIPLING COUPONS UP TO .99!!! Needless to say, I've already got 3 transactions planned since you can only use 20 coupons per transaction. I think the total money I'll spend after using 60 coupons is around $7. *WooHoo!!!*
