Where are you located? The Food Lion near me (in Raleigh) does not double. I just checked yesterday.

7/16/2008 11:16:19 AM

^^I mentioned that to my mother, and she said that we can count on move-in weekend also doing triples - possibly up to a dollar.

Apparently, move-in weekend is a big deal for HT and so they go ahead and do tripling.

My bf has become open to the idea of using coupons <3
Thank god. For me, it's a game.

Kroger's doubling policy: manufacturer's up to $0.50

[Edited on July 17, 2008 at 11:21 AM. Reason : which sucks]

Here's a $2 coupon for Honey Bunches of Oats Just Bunches, which is on sale 2/$5 at Kroger til Saturday.

7/17/2008 11:19:58 AM

If they are tripling up to $1.00, thats HUGE. I'll be making the most of that. I find it hard to believe. Too many things would be free, without even being on sale.

7/17/2008 11:26:09 AM

Er, you're right. It's usually up to $1, which makes me

They have done it in the past. I don't know the frequency, but they do do that every so often.

What I haven't ever seen, though, is tripling $1 coupons

7/17/2008 11:26:49 AM

Don't worry, you gonna get your free stuff tonight DNL. I forgot, been busy trying to talk to insurance people to get my check.

Harris Teeter is having Triple Coupon days, July 24, 25, and 26!!

http://www.harristeeter.com

Holla!!

7/23/2008 8:00:07 AM

Clipped and ready to go.

Keep in mind that they only triple up to 20 coupons , so if you have more than that you'll need to divide up your purchases.

7/23/2008 9:03:36 AM

^^awesome

and I'm considering doing the grocery game (mentioned on the first page), is it worth it?

7/23/2008 9:55:19 AM

It's worth it if you eat a lot of packaged foods like Rice A Roni, cereal, yogurt, canned biscuits, etc. And if you can restrain yourself to not buy way too much stuff just because it's a good deal. I think it's a good idea to do it for a few months to build a good stockpile of canned goods and such, then stop for a while and use all that up, then do it again.

7/23/2008 10:07:00 AM

You can log onto most any coupon board for free an get the same basic information.

I use hotcouponworld. I have my friend Callie to thank for this tip.

7/23/2008 10:07:31 AM

^ this is TWW go-to girl when you want to save some $$$

7/23/2008 10:24:50 AM

Hotcouponworld has all the info you need and it's free.

i love this place... it's so overwhelming at first, but it's a lot of really good information, it just takes a while to digest.

i suggest to start with the n00b forums haha that's where i first learned the strategy and then you can kinda go on your own, read the forums, and participate in the coupon trades and stuff. it's a lot of fun, and can get kind of addicting. once you get the hang of it, it doesn't take as much time out of your life as you think it would..

Well, I guess I just have a lot of good resources (ie, friends who like to save money) so we just fill each other in.

I LOVE to go buy stuff for myself but I hate to spend the money so I have joined numerous free sites...for example, freecycle yahoo group. I did this because people are always offering random free things on there and if I get something free, I can save money. It's also fun to just play on there.

Coupons still confuse the crap out of me sometimes but hotcoupon world is a great resource. According to Callie, the best deals are at CVS and RiteAid. You can sign up for the CVS bucks and when you buy things you need, they will give you money back. I am not a member yet but I plan on signing up soon.

These coupon people do all the work for you and post it on there and they do it for free.

7/23/2008 11:24:36 AM

I'm new to this, so please humor me.

For the HT triple deal, can you use those coupons that can be printed online?

Also, I was reading the thread on that HCW about HT's triple "master list" and kept seeing items that you could get for free with the right coupon. If I don't have that coupon, is it possible to find it online?

7/23/2008 11:33:52 AM

I'm having trouble getting a working coupon printer installed on my computer. Anyone have any suggestions for one that works?

Food Lion does not double coupons.

7/23/2008 11:39:00 AM

^^ some stores don't accept printed coupons. it would be best just to call the HT that you shop at and ask them. i think some places have had problems with people copying the coupon instead of printing it from the site, and because of that the store doesn't get the money back for the coupon.

it's possible to find the coupon you're looking for online. someone on HCW might be willing to trade coupons with you so you can get what you want.

http://www.thegrocerygame.com/index.cfm?function=onlinecoupons

try those.. print out whatever you think you might want/need then wait for the sale for it at whatever grocery stores you shop at.

7/23/2008 11:50:26 AM

It's a little late for this option but people sell coupons on ebay..they charge for the time and effort it took to clip them. It's usually pretty cheap to get the coupons you use. You can print some coupons online or you can go through the recycling bins to find sunday papers.

Harris Teeter DOES NOT double or triple internet printed coupons.


I'll be @ HT at 7 am tomorrow morning before work.

I am putting together coupon binders to sell at the flea market. I made one for myself that I have been using for over a year now. If anybody would be interested, PM me and I'll let you know all about it!

7/23/2008 4:17:17 PM

where i work, we refuse give cash back for coupons.

7/23/2008 6:53:39 PM

Moving my stockpile from boxes onto a rack

this is the beginning

7/23/2008 8:15:13 PM

N00b, I got 7 more venuses than you.

Nice. Don't have pics of my stuff, give a decent amount away and let my roommates use what they want so it's never too bad.

7/23/2008 8:18:49 PM

Well the main reason for the rack is that my fiance's sister likes to come over and rummage and take stuff


But she'd never put it back in the boxes so its just easier to have it all out than packed away in boxes.

7/23/2008 8:21:35 PM

Yeah, my storage space is getting a little crazy.

Is it just me, or is the airwick mini overpowering even on the lowest setting? Bought a bunch to use once the boyfriend and his cats move in but I think they'd scare small fuzzy animals away.

7/23/2008 8:26:56 PM

I need some good deals on razors. My stock is running low.

7/23/2008 8:31:06 PM

ahaha

the "poof" on the mini is actually kind of loud...it scares the shit out of our cats

7/23/2008 8:33:35 PM

Yeah, first time I tried one I put it in the living room. Made the poof noise then a couple of us started coughing.

When I put the batteries back in it's going on top of the TV so it's not as close.

7/23/2008 8:43:04 PM

Best triples ever!

Got:
2 Tic Tacs
2 Windex Glass Cleaner
2 Windex Antibacterial Cleaner
2 Scrubbing Bubbles Cleaner
1 package Trident gum
1 Shout laundry cleaner
2 Uncle Ben's Long Grain
2 Balance bars
2 packages kotex lightdays pantiliners ($0.75 Kotex pantiliner coupon can be used on trial size. $1.29/box)
Skintimate shave gel
2 pack Gum toothbrush
Suave deodorant

My total was $2.14 in the negative after all my coupons so I grabbed an InTouch Weekly.

BC: $36.17 (includes the In Touch Weekly)
AC: $1.06

7/24/2008 8:29:12 AM

The HT on Western is out of Windex but getting a truck tomorrow.

Edwards mill still has some in stock.

I made 2 trips. ~$50 BC and ~$10 AC each time. Not as good, but I bought shit I needed too.

7/24/2008 3:17:31 PM

so what's the max coupon value for tripling?

7/24/2008 3:41:26 PM

99 cents

7/24/2008 3:42:06 PM

Purchased everything for $2.79


<3 Triples

7/26/2008 11:21:24 AM

what do you do with all the extra shit?

7/26/2008 11:36:45 AM

well I eat pasta like 3x a week because I <3 carbs.

I use windex on everything...my car windows, my glasses etc

I use everything I buy.

It may take a while to use everything but at least i know I won't have to run out and buy a toothbrush or cleaning product in an emergency and pay full price.

7/26/2008 11:40:02 AM

I need to make one more run, forgot a few coupons.

7/26/2008 12:13:04 PM

before coupons: $62.32
After: $19.59

gotta love triple coupons!

7/26/2008 12:25:40 PM

If you live near Wilson


Farm Fresh is tripling coupons up to $1


Yes up to $1...so $1 coupons are worth $3!!!!!!!!!!

I went today cause I was in the area and most of the really great deals were wiped out. There is a limit of 25 coupons per transaction and a limit of 2 of the same item.

I believe I heard that it lasts until August 5th.

I had a BC total of $75 and an AC total of $20.

Farm Fresh is really nice, I'd never been in one before. It is comparable to Harris Teeter. Very clean and very courteous staff. There is a Harris Teeter like a mile down the road. This is the same Harris Teeter that had a weeklong triples event a few weeks ago so I think Farm Fresh is trying to compete.

7/29/2008 10:59:29 PM

that is a TON of windex...i think you're set for life.

7/30/2008 10:09:55 AM

Went to CVS today and spent 2.66 and got 2 packs of wellness patches(heated patches for sore muscles which cost 5.99 each normally), 2 boxes tampons, 3 packs glade scented oil refills, and a pack of jelly belly jelly beans.

I did a few other transactions and spent some of the gift card I got for transferring my perscription. I also have $6 in "extra care bucks" to spend on my next transaction.
Got 2 packs mascara, a candle, some other scented oil refills, 4 packs of razors, and 19 packs of jelly beans (prizes for my classroom) All total, I spent $15 out of the $25 gift card.

If you don't have a CVS Extra Care Bucks card, it pays to research it. Google CVS scenarios for examples.

7/30/2008 1:18:06 PM

^ I really want to learn your ways and get as good as you with saving money. Did you have coupons for the tampons and the other stuff, and does CVS double coupons or anything like that?

I did join hotcouponworld.com, but ended up googling a JCPenney coupon for in-store use.

7/30/2008 3:27:50 PM

drug stores do not double/triple coupons.


I <3 CVS.

7/30/2008 4:52:07 PM

^^Instead of doubles/triples, CVS offers Extra Care Bucks. Think of it as a rebate that you get immediately printed on the bottom of your receipt.

7/30/2008 4:57:47 PM

Great article/story for you coupon clippers shown on the 5:00 news


http://www.wral.com/5onyourside/story/3304756/

7/30/2008 6:24:49 PM

In either last week's or this weeks coupon circular (I'm only just now clipping last week's ) is a kellog's insert with a $1 off two kellog's cereals (limited to corn pops, apple jacks, frosted flakes, frosted flakes gold, and fruit loops). There's also a $1 off two mini shredded wheats

Kroger has (off the top of my head...can't find it listed in the circular. In case this is only this store, it's the one at 70 and timber dr...~12 minutes from the campus area) corn pops, mini shredded wheat, frosted flakes [pretty sure of this one], and the vanilla mix cocoa puffs. So...if corn pops or mini shredded wheat are your thing, that's $1.50/box.

There's a $1 off two pop-tarts, and those are 3 for $5 this week.
