HT again

This time NO negative balance, but still pretty good. I don't think I could have gotten another $10 off $50 this week, but I didn't have $50 subtotal anyway.


4 boxes of pasta
2 env taco seasoning
1 bag croutons
3 bags mini rice cakes
1 box parchment paper
2 bottles grape jelly
7 pks gum
1 coffee creamer
Total retail: $37.97
Paid: $2.24

HT-Triples NEGATIVE balance

OK, I know I haven't posted on here in FOREVER. But I was just really excited about my trip yesterday. I practically robbed HT! I am sure you all know it is triples week at HT. I have been doing the triples and super doubles weeks recently as well, but none were as good as yesterday. THEY OWED ME MONEY!
Here is the breakdown of what I got and how it worked...

I started off with the free items and added some produce so I would be sure to owe something (because they really won't pay me money :)


2 bags croutons
6 boxes pasta
2 bags mini rice cakes
6 pkts taco seasoning
2 spice grinders
3 Mentos gum
2 coffee creamers
3 tubs strawberries (BuyOneGetTwoFree-$4.99)
2 avocados ($.79 ea.)

Total for all this was
- $2.85
yes NEGATIVE!

Why was this? Because of good ole e-Vic. If you are not a member of e-Vic, here is your motivation. Because I am an e-Vic member, I automatically received $10 off my $50 purchase BEFORE coupons. Usually they send out these mailers for $10 off $50 but the cashier makes you have $50 AFTER coupons or they won't scan it. (Even thought it would work if they did-and it depends on the cashier you get if they pay attention or not:)
This time it was automatic for e-Vic members. So they OWED me money.
So now I have to buy something else, because they won't give me money back. But I already used my 20 coupon limit for the day and I didn't want to buy any of my items that used coupons and waste those triples.

So I returned to produce to buy 4 kiwi (that I never buy because they are $.79 each and they are only as big as a quarter anyway but my kids really LOVE them). My kids got a special treat.

So my final total?
Total Retail: $59.46
Well, TAX on all my items was $.42
I paid $.38
YES, that says "38 CENTS"

I am going back today to see how I do this time. I have another 20 coupons, but I don't know if the e-Vic special will work again. I will let you know.

Now, to explain e-Vic. You just sign up with your email address and link your VIC card to the account. They send the weekly flyer to your email once a week and then sometimes send a special e-Vic flyer over the weekend. There is nothing more than that. But you get weekly specials that are only good for e-Vic members. Click here for more info and to sign up. You can get your $10 off $50 if you sign up now.

Enjoy the Triples!

HT trip and FREEBIES

Well, I know it has been a while. Saving money takes a lot of my time, and writing about it takes even more :)
Here is what I scored at HT tonight...
1 pouch tuna
6 bags veggies
4 cartons broth
6 cans soup
6 cans chicken
8 taco seasoning
2 airborne
2 cartons juice
11 fabric softener sheets (which are FREE for you BTW, see below)

_____________
Total retail cost: $125.78
Total OOP paid: $17.18

Here is where you can cash in on this - These fabric softener sheets were FREE and we are pretty well stocked on them so I am giving away 7 free to the first people who request one, or two, or three. First come, first served :)

FREE Chick-Fil-A combos!!!

Woah, Did I seriously go more than a month with NO posts??? I cannot believe how the time is flying. I am TOO busy!!!

Anyway, If ANYONE is still reading this blog :) Don't forget to dress like a cow tomorrow from head to tail for a free Chick-Fil-A combo (one per person - even kids) or just wear a single cow item for a free sandwich. It is TOTALLY worth it for us. Not only FREE, but FREE Chick-Fil-A for a family of SEVEN!!!

Harris Teeter shopping trips

Here are the last two trips I did - one yesterday and one today. I will go back tomorrow for a final (maybe :) trip.

Yesterday:
2 Dial Hand Soap - FREE
2 Baking Powder - FREE
4 Dole Mandarin Oranges - $1.84
6 Swanson Chicken - $4.02
2 Spray and Wash (forgot in picture) - FREE
2 Snyder's pretzel snacks - $.50
2 Grands Tortilla chips - $1.50
2.25 lb. cubed steak (Grands has a $2 off beef coupon on the bag) - $1.16
3 bags Rhodes dinner rolls - FREE
2 boxes Deli Creations - $1.48

TOTAL RETAIL - $76.55

TOTAL PAID - $11.16

Today's trip:
3 Kraft Dressings - FREE
4 Dole Mandarin Oranges - $1.84
6 Whitehouse applesauce - $5.22
5 Chips Ahoy Snak-Saks - $3.70
4 Swanson Chicken - $2.68

2 Rhodes dinner rolls - FREE
18 Dannon yogurt - $1.26
2 Deli Creations - $1.48
I also took a gamble today and tried to use the $10 off $50 purchase coupon that was mailed to me. It says can only be used after all other coupons and discounts are given. But if you give it to them FIRST, it will take off of the sub-total. It just depends if your cashier will let it slide. Mine did today so that helped bring my total down:)

TOTAL RETAIL - $84.62

TOTAL PAID - $7.50

My Harris Teeter Triples List

****UPDATE****
After spending much of last night searching for these coupons and finding few, I must amend my list. Stay tuned for a more accurate list with our local coupons tomorrow. Southern Savers is someone in the south but obviously not Charlotte. There are different coupon inserts is different areas and most of these were not in our inserts. I apologize if I sent you on a wild goose chase :)

Here is my list of proposed purchases starting tomorrow. I will have to make several trips as they will only triple 20 coupons per card per DAY! It used to be that you could make up to 4 transactions with 20 coupons each per day, but that seems to have changed.

Here are a couple more points to remember...
* most stores only allow one coupon for BOGO deals, so only purchase one item at half price per transaction and use one coupon.
* If you only HAVE one coupon, only buy ONE item. You DO NOT have to buy 2 with BOGO or 2 for $5, 3 for $10 deals, etc.

There are 35 FREEBIES as well as other GOOD deals all listed at Southern Savers blog. Hopefully, I can post my deals as I get them. I have to search thru all my coupons and see if I still have all these. I am going to be busy this week :)
