Just got back from my first trip with Triples this week, and I've still got a good 15 coupons to use (mostly frozen stuff) since I only have 1 VIC card and can only do 20 coupons per day.


BC: $69.21
AC: $14.82





also from the previous page:

How does HT handle $1.00 coupons during triples?

On another blog, I'm noticing that people are reporting deals that don't seem possible unless they tripled their $1 off coupons...

For example, some SeaPak items are on sale for $2.47, and SmartSource had a $1/1 coupon on SeaPak shit...and people are reporting that they got a SeaPak item for free as if something special happened to their dollar coupon when it scanned, but shouldn't it it just be a dollar off bringing the item down to $1.47 and not free?

3/28/2010 4:40:20 PM

I can confirm that the $1 coupons DO NOT TRIPLE during triple coupons. I used 1 of them today and it did not triple. I'm not sure why other places are reporting that it did.

3/28/2010 4:44:20 PM

I wasn't prepared and had no coupons, printed a few and went to Harris Teeter but nothing was going to work out like I wanted it to so I started to leave until I realized I needed a can of dip. They had my brand with a $.75 off coupon attached that they allowed me to use and triple, so I bought 9 cans (all they had) for the price of 1 ($2.85)! Turned out to be a good day!

3/28/2010 6:40:17 PM

^They typically have a rule of 3 like coupons per transaction. You got seriously lucky hombre



Also, FU HT. FFFFUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!


They took it upon themselves to link my card to my husband's card since we have the same address. I have never noticed this because I never tried to use more than 20 coupons in a day, so I had no reason to use my VIC and my husband's VIC in the same day. But I had so many coupons for frozen veggies that I decided to take hubby's card and use up the rest of my coupons tonight. 1 of them tripled (since apparently I only used 19 q's earlier on my card) and after that nothing was doubling/tripling. The lady told me it was 1 card per household and that our cards must be linked. She looked at me like I was a dumbass, and I felt bad making them reshelve all the frozen stuff I had, so I bit the bullet and paid [almost] full price after 19 face-value coupons. $66 (Of course, $20 of that was beer, but still.....)

FFFFFUUUUUUUUU HT

3/28/2010 6:45:49 PM

^Yeah, she told me it was 3 per transaction, so she just made it 3 orders

3/29/2010 8:31:19 AM

^^"Oh, my. Will you try my old VIC acct? Try phone number 919-512-####"

If pressed for "old" account, explain you signed up as a freshman in the dorms, lost your card between then and now, and simply signed up for a new one.

If the number you choose doesn't work, explain it's been a loooooong time since you had that number, and can you try again

3/29/2010 8:41:56 AM

I refuse to rattle off 3 or 4 NCSU '512' numbers until I get one right. Then I'll look even more like an idiot. If you know of a few that work, PM them to me

They aren't using the $1 off coupon. There is a $.75/1 coupon in All You magazine (you can buy it at Walmart) but it was from last month's magazine so don't run out and buy the magazine. So when the .75 coupon is tripled, it costs you $.22 for the Seapak.

What were the good deals from this weekend's paper? My gf cut out a ton of coupons and I'm going to take them to HT tomorrow night. Will pick up the stuff for free that I can but not sure what exactly is out there.

3/29/2010 9:12:16 AM

hoarders ITT?

buying stuff, not because you need it, rather because it's on sale

3/29/2010 9:12:28 AM

^the only thing i "bought" that i didn't need was 4 boxes of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn in a variety of flavors and i'll give them to you if you want them if not they'll just go in the break room here at the office.

oh, i got a near-free box of Total cereal that i gave to a coworker. and some near-free Land O' Lakes half and half that also went into the office fridge.

most stuff that i don't need/want gets given away so it will get used. i don't hoard nothin [anymore].

I didn't really see htat many coupons in yesterday's paper that match up with triples. But be sure to clip the $3 Snuggle (I think it was Snuggle?) coupon. Last time they put out a $3 coupon, it was free/near free at many stores.

3/29/2010 9:20:46 AM

i have 3 bottles of body wash, 2 toothbrushes, 2 tubes of toothpaste and a box and a half of Q-Tips as the result of triple coupons last summer.

Hey, you never know when you'll need them...and if they're cheap, might as well buy them[/hoarder speak]

3/29/2010 9:24:13 AM

i have 18 tubes of toothpaste left over from when i was CVSing for 4 months (in late 2008)

they're all likely expired now. i should just toss them. gah damn i got a lot of shit in those 4 months.

3/29/2010 9:25:15 AM

I like to keep a stock of body wash, toothpaste etc that I get for free/pennies so that when I do run out, I can just go get one off my shelf instead of running out and paying retail for it.

3/29/2010 9:25:54 AM

FYI, if any of you ladies have cavity protection toothpaste (read: focus on fluoride, instead of whitening), I will happily take it off your hands...in exchange for coupons or other goods, I guess?

Damn near every toothpaste out there now is a whitening toothpaste, and I am NOT using that while I have braces. I think I have one tube of a non-whitening toothpaste, and that's it.

3/29/2010 9:58:17 AM

Triple deals using yesterday's coupons

the $.60 Lipton tea coupon can be used on the 16 count boxes (priced at $1.35) to get them free.

The small bottles of Wishbone dressing are $1.99 so free after the $.75 coupon

And Hellman's mayo 30 fl oz are BOGO free. Mine was $4.95 minus the BOGO free sale (-$2.48)=$2.47 -.60/1 coupon tripled= $.67/jar

3/29/2010 2:20:11 PM

Sunday's paper had coupons for $2/2 boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Little Bites and $1/1 box of Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Little Bites.

That particular cereal is $3.49 BOGO at HT...so that's three boxes for $5.25. Subtract the $2/2 and $1/1 coupons, and it's three boxes for $2.25 (.75/each)...

Plus, when you buy 3-4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal, you get a Catalina coupon at check-out for a free gallon of milk!

So...three boxes of sweet dessert cereal and a gallon of milk for only two dollars and twenty-five cents!

[Edited on March 29, 2010 at 4:26 PM. Reason : two g's in Kellogg's]

3/29/2010 4:25:38 PM

I went today and got 20 items. I'm going to go again tomorrow and take care of what I need

3/29/2010 6:00:29 PM

just spent 9.15..original total was a little over 30...sometimes I think I am really good at coupoing and then I look at ya'll and I cry

3/30/2010 12:44:49 AM

What's the best "Gift Card with New Prescription" Coupon out right now??

3/30/2010 9:22:16 AM

If you try to buy healthy stuff you end up spending a lot more. I don't post totals because I have food allergies and the boy is a picky little bitch so I have to pass on a lot of the free stuff.

3/30/2010 9:28:06 AM

^I saw 3 or 4 different kids of Gluten Free beer between Total Wine and Whole Foods and thought of you

3/30/2010 9:28:38 AM

Haha, I have tried gluten free beer. Red Bridge. That stuff is pure nasty! Even the boy didn't like it, and he will drink pretty much anything as long as you call it beer. He could barely finish one, I couldn't get down more than 2 sips. If you ever have gluten free friends over for drinks spend the money on liquor instead.

I spent about $9 at HT last night for about $40 worth of stuff, but I got frozen fruit, almond milk, pretzels for the boy, free hummus (only found about it the last day of triples or I would have posted here), thai noodles, and wet ones (plus some McCormick to bring the total down after the catalina deal). It's better to get the cheap stuff I want instead of the freebies that'll go to waste here just to make the totals look more impressive.

3/31/2010 8:41:40 AM

I found out about the free hummus yesterday too

Tribe organic hummus was BOGO free. One for $1.99 and there was a $.75 coupon online. WHat kind di you get? I got roasted red pepper

which store are you going to? because the 3 stores i frequent have all shot me down.

harrison/maynard?

3/31/2010 10:20:17 AM

yea the one across the street from my house harrison pointe

3/31/2010 11:10:33 AM

I got the sweet red pepper and garlic. Now I have to go buy chips or bread or something because I am out and want to eat the free hummus.

3/31/2010 11:14:25 AM

We bought some tortilla chips to enjoy with the hummus and the tons of Wholly Guacamole we have chillin in our freezer.

3/31/2010 11:23:01 AM

I could never find the guac in stock during super doubles, and now I think they only carry the big (not free) packs. Really wish I'd been able to get more hummus but I have been crazy busy so oh well.

3/31/2010 11:25:04 AM

i didnt think about freezing the wholly stuff i had a couple i had to throw out

3/31/2010 11:25:18 AM

I have a freezer full of Mission tortillas, shredded cheese, wholly guacamole etc

I wrote to Wholly Guacamole just to tell them how much my husband and I love their product and they sent me 5 coupons for free packages.

3/31/2010 11:28:43 AM

when i went the other day with my coupons i was pretty sad that most of my coupons were 1.00 upwards but i still loaded up pretty good.

my final bill was around $15 with VIC Savings at a little over $7 and my coupons were tripled to a little over $16.00 so ...

3/31/2010 11:55:25 AM

Here's a question. Why do some coupons add a "do not double" clause? I believe when a store opts to double or triple a coupon, the extra money off of the item comes out of the store's pocket, not the manufacturer. The manufacturer is only on the hook for the value of the coupon, so why disallow doubling?

3/31/2010 12:09:18 PM

Because it can cheaper the brand's image. Its the same way certain products in other retail stores are never allowed to be discounted, or discounted extremely limited.

However, no stores that I have ever visited give a damn about 'do not double'

3/31/2010 2:43:29 PM

Cheap flour @ Lowes Food. Gold Medal Flour 5lb bags are BOGO free. Buy one and it is ~$1.45/bag. The ones in my store had $.55 peelies on them making them $.35/bag.

Gold Medal is also on sale @ HT for 2/$3. So $1.50/bag. I believe the peelies are also on bags @HT. So $.40/bag. Might be a better deal @ HT if you need to stock up since @ Lowes they are BOGO free and they only allow one coupon for BOGO.

3/31/2010 2:51:50 PM

Because the worst thing that can happen to your brand image is for a bunch of poor people to be walking around talking about how good it is.

3/31/2010 4:16:36 PM

hmm, so HT and others still do double all the "do not double" coupons? I've never tried, because typically i just figure it's not worth the effort of cutting the damn thing out.

I always assumed that information was embedded in the barcode information and would be enforced by the equipment. but if not...

4/1/2010 8:24:04 AM

Coupons that say Do Not Double, but the barcode starts with a 5 will usually automatically double as long as they abide by the store guidelines (such as price etc), unless a cashier intervenes.

Coupons that start with a 9 will NOT double.

4/1/2010 10:01:32 AM

This week only at Target (sale might end tomorrow), Airwick Freshmatic Ultra I-Motions are $6. There is a $5 insert coupon available as well as a $1 Target coupon @ http://www.coupons.target.com

to get the Freshmatic Target coupon to appear, you need to enter your zip code and it should be under "household" category. It will be the last coupon on the first page of the household category.

so use both the $5 manufacturer's coupon and the $1 Target coupon and get it free.


It worked perfectly for me! Or pay $1 if you don't have the Target coupon.,

4/2/2010 1:36:31 PM

Starting tomorrow and going through April 10th, Kmart is doing Super Doubles. They will double up to $2 and only 5 coupons in a transaction will be doubled

4/4/2010 1:06:26 AM

Every time I've gone (granted, just a couple times), the one on 401 just south of the split participates.

On a sunday morning, it's <15 minutes from campus.

good deal on schick intuition razors at Target

they are on sale for $6.99. If you buy 2, you get a $5 Target giftcard. Use two of the $4 coupons (don't know when the insert came out but they expire 4/11/10. So buy 2 @ $6.99=$13.98. Use 2 $4 coupons=$5.98. Get $5 gift card back. Makes it $.98 for two razors.


These are the only razors I use. I love them to death. For some reason I only had 2 coupons. Wish I had more so that I could stock up. $.49 for a Schick Intuition razor is awesome!

Deal is only good until Saturday I think.

4/8/2010 11:03:43 AM

I don't think this is really a great coupon deal but anyway...

Lowes Foods has Palermo's frozen pizzas at buy 2 (at 6.99/piece) and get 3 free. Plus, there was a coupon for a dollar off any one Palermo's pizza.

So you can get five pizzas for thirteen bucks ($2.60/piece), which seems great to me since they're normally like seven dollars/piece or five dollars/piece on sale.

I had two coupons so I bought ten.

(Oh, man, I'm reading where other people doubled up their coupons on the purchase of five, which brings them to $2.40/piece. I thought you could only use one coupon on a BOGO deal...maybe it's different for a B2G3, after all, you are technically buying 2... )


I also saw that Lowe's had one of the new Orville Red. popcorn flavors (cheddar cheese) available. There's a coupon for .75 off the cheddar cheese or the nacho cheese flavor so I went ahead and used one on a box. Anyway, heads up, it wasn't spectacular so save those coupons until you get it for less than five cents or some shit...five cents is all it's worth.
