It's official- I prefer triple coupon week over super doubles. But I still did land some pretty good stockpile deals. For those of you who do have a Harris Teeter nearby, I thought I'd share some of the better internet coupon deals. For those without, check out a site I found recently that lists different coupon shopping deals & strategies for stores throughout the US- it's http://www.hotcouponworld.com/ and has a number of spirited forums.

For those with Harris Teeters who'd like to take advantage of the below offers, keep in mind that HT's policy now is to accept only 2 internet coupons per same item, so you'll only be able to take advantage of using 2 coupons for each individual item per day. This does not mean you can only use 2 internet coupons per day, only that you can't use the same item coupon more than twice. Hope that makes sense! Here are the deals we took advantage of:

If you click on http://brands.kraftfoods.com/purekraft/naturalcheese, you can get a $1.00 coupon off the Kraft 2% shredded cheese. You're only allowed to print this twice so print out 2, buy 3 at Harris Teeter and you'll get 2 of the cheeses for free AND a coupon for $2 towards your next purchase will print out- so it's like getting all 3 for free.

For free Dannon Activia, click on http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qedlbsp94261034&bt=wi&o=56307&c=DA&p=10Sws6AF for a $1 off coupon. I could only print out one.

For free Trident gum, click on http://www.tridentgum.com/alittlepieceofhappy/ and then click on the strawberry gum $1 off icon. I had to use Firefox as the browser to print this one out- it would not work on IE. And again, I could only print out 1- you'll also need to enter your name and email information to get the coupon. It will be $1 off 2 packs but with super doubles, you'll get both for free.

For free Jack Daniel's Barbeque sauce, click on http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qfbfbcv49739082&bt=vi&o=56733&c=HZ&p=2Mo4nBix for a $1 off coupon. I only printed out 1, but you may be able to repeat steps to get another one. Anytime you see a link to a Bricks coupon, it may allow you to print out 2 from your computer if you click on the link again.

For 99 cent Blue Bunny ice cream, click on https://www.bluebunny.com/iScreamTeam/Coupons/Coupons.aspx. You'll need to enter in name and email information. This site should allow you to print out several of these. Rather than automatically print out like most other coupon links, this one had my printer screen appear where you can designate the number of copies you want printed. Our kids love ice cream, so I'm using our large freezer to its full advantage and stocking up.

We love Kashi products and there were also some good coupons for these online. Click on http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qfmqdtk78169770&bt=vg&o=56997&c=KS&p=r5h3dQ7V for a $1.50 off coupon- this should work for either the granola bars (which we love) or the cereal bars and will bring the price down to a mere 29 cents per box. I believe we had to use Firefox browser for these & the waffle coupons below to print.

You can also find a $1.50 off coupon for their GoLean waffles at http://site.vocalpoint.com/kashiconnect/coupon.html. When doubled, you will be paying 79 cents per box.

You can find other links to different coupons that would work well this super doubles week by clicking on this link: http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/harris-teeter/251428-ht-super-doubles-june-24-30-confirmed-master-list-updated-6-25-1-post-5.html.

Happy shopping!

Super Doubles at Harris Teeter

Okay, I was skeptical about this whole super doubles thing at Harris Teeter. As readers already know, I am a big fan of triple coupon weeks/weekends at HT and often stock up on some really great deals. After doing the rounds this morning, I did find some really wonderful deals...but I am still missing the triple coupon thrill as I think there are more freebies to be had during triples (feel free to post a comment if you agree or disagree).


For those not in the know, HT has offered a triple coupon week once a week for the past few months in which they would triple all coupons up to 99 cents (so if you had a 75 cent coupon, it would then be worth $2.25). Rather than offering another triple coupon week this month, they've changed things up a bit and offered a super doubles week in which they will double the value of a coupon up to $1.98 (so if you have a $1.75 coupon, it would then worth $3.50). Unfortunately, there are not very many $1.75 coupons out there- and I really doubt the existence of a $1.98 coupon but I did have a number of $1 and $1.50 coupons in my coupon binder that turned into some freebies and near freebies.


You're limited to 20 coupons per day per household and they're actually enforcing the limit this go-round so I'll be making several trips to HT over this coming week in order to fully take advantage of my larger coupons. Here's a breakdown of my first trip:


2 Starbucks Frappucinos ($2.29 each - doubled $1 coupon = 29 cents each)

4 Fruit 20 Esssentials water bottles ($1.29 each - two doubled $1 coupons = 29 cents each)

1 Kraft Dressing Zesty Italian (FREE after doubled $1.50 coupon)

2 Dawn Pure Essentials Dish Detergent ($3.55 each - two doubled $1 coupons = 55 cents each)

2 Kelloggs Frosted Mini Wheats Cereal (FREE after two doubled $1 coupons)

2 Hot Shot Ant & Roach Killers (FREE after two doubled $1.50 coupons)

2 100 calorie Golden Oreo cakesters ($2.79 each - two doubled $1 coupons = 79 cents each)

2 Bumblebee tuna packets (FREE after two doubled 1.50 coupons)

2 Garnier Fructis shampoos ($2.50 each - two doubled $1 coupons = 50 cents each)

2 Garnier Fructis hairsprays ($2.50 each - two doubled $1 coupons = 50 cents each)

3 bags of Kraft 2% shredded cheese (FREE after two doubled $1 coupon & printed $2 coupon)

1 4 pack of Danactive (FREE after doubled $1 coupon)


With coupons & VIC specials, I saved a total of $57.47 on this order, paying a total of $9.05 for $66.52 worth of groceries. This is about an 86% savings (more if you tack on savings in tax).


I used a couple of internet coupons on this order (the Kraft cheese and Danactive specifically) but the rest were your garden variety Sunday paper savings. Woohoo!!!
