Triple coupons started today at Harris Teeter.  This is an exciting time for couponers.  It’s a time to stock up on free or almost free groceries.  It’s a great way to feed our families, reduce our budgets, or use the money saved for another purchase. 
My coupon binder is so unorganized right now.  I haven’t clipped coupons in about a month.  This morning I spent about 30 minutes looking through coupons and clipping coupons.  Not a bad investment of time for the money saved.
Here’s a look at what I got today.  I spent about $21 but saved around $53.  That’s a savings …read more

Sometimes I find some great deals and I’m so excited about it that I have to share it with all you thrifty folks.  My latest deal is this oak entertainment center/armoire. 

My hubby and I dropped by the local antique/furniture/junk store this week.  We just never know what we’ll find.  I have been dropping in there frequently lately because I was looking for something for my tv to sit on.  I found a beautiful big dresser but it was $350.  Ouch.  I even considered it.  After all, it would be a lifelong beautiful piece.  Thankfully, we went back a few days …read more

Today was the final day of this week’s triple coupon sale at Harris Teeter.  I’m so pleased with the money I was able to save.  Today I spent about $24 and saved $72.67!

Additional savings were earned from a $1 catalina that I received after my last purchase on Friday.  General Mills and Harris Teeter have a rebate savings going on right now.  I think if you purchase 3 Pillsbury products you get a $1 coupon/Catalina at the end of your purchase good on your next order.  I got one Wednesday after buying 3 Pillsbury Grand biscuits and then again Friday after the …read more

It’s triple coupon week again at Harris Teeter. There are a lot of deals to be found.  I was in a big hurry on Wednesday when I went, but I was able to snag a bunch of bargains.  I plan to go back tomorrow when I have more time to shop.  Hopefully, during my next trip I can pick up some healthier items like luncheon meat and yogurt.

I wrote yesterday about some Harris Teeter deals and coupon match-ups, but I think it is beneficial for you all to see that saving money can be done.  And of course, I have a picture to inspire you all towards saving more and spending less.  This time I went without my kids and the trip went SO much better!  I’m writing this after getting home at 11:45 pm, but that’s ok; giving up a little sleep was worth it!

During the past sale week, Harris Teeter was having their super double coupon sale again.  During this sale, they double coupons with a face value of $1.98 or less.  As you can imagine, you can save a lot of money.

I confess that I did not want to participate in the sale this time.  We just got back from summer youth camp a few days earlier and I’ve had a lot of extra things to do.  I knew I’d better take advantage of this opportunity though so that I could continue filling our pantry with inexpensive items.
Here’s a list of the …read more
