Happy New Year!

I hope you all found your Harris Teeter well stocked for the first day of Super Doubles in 2014!  LuLu and I finally headed up to the store around 9am and were able to pick up everything except Old Orchard juice and Hormel Cure ham.

My receipt is a mess.  I knew my total was high at the store but couldn’t figure out why.  I realized in-store that my Secret Clinical e-VIC didn’t come off, so I had that one fixed.  Once I got home, I realized they rang up 3 Ore-Ida Simply (I bought 2) and 2 more e-VIC coupons didn’t come off (Ivory and Downy).  I’ll head back up for my $5.79 refund later today.

How did you do?

Honestly, my Harris Teeter Super Doubles shopping trips have been cra-zy this week. Sadly, no pictures. I still have a few more trips planned, but so far I’ve spent around $20 on over $150 worth of groceries . . . and $13 of that was butter, bread and pears. We are pretty stocked up on free Vintage Seltzer/toiletries/chocolate and cheap cereal/frozen meals.

While I usually don’t take advantage of the pizza and burrito deals, I am starting to add a few things to my freezer for after Baby #3’s arrival when Mama doesn’t feel like cooking 😀

Shopping Trips:

16 Vintage Seltzer – FREE!
4 Chex Cereal
1 Cheerios
4 Wheat Thins
2 Lindt Chocolate – FREE!
10 Monterrey Burritos – FREE!
2 State Fair Corn Dogs
2 Palemero Pizza
4 Nestle Toll House Morsels
2 Furmanos Tomatoes – FREE!
2 Cover Girl Eye Enhancers – FREE (this was a $4 money maker!)
1 Pampers Pull Ups
1 Olay Body Wash – FREE!
1 Scope Mouth Wash – FREE!
1 Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant – FREE!
1 Gillette Shave Prep – FREE!
3 Snickers Bites – FREE!
1 HT Wide Pan Bread
4 Pears
4 1lb HT Salted Butter

I only noted one mistake on my receipts, and that was that my $1/3 Vintage Seltzer EVIC coupon didn’t come off 🙁 I’m going to see if they’ll fix it next time I’m in the store if I can find the receipt.

Lastly, because I forgot to take pictures of my shopping trips, and because I am shameless 🙂 here is a cute picture of my kids in their Halloween costumes:

Meet David, the Shepard who defeated Goliath and his sheep, Woosy.
They kill me! It was their first time trick or treating and they had a BLAST.

I’m super excited about my Harris Teeter Super Doubles shopping trip this morning!

I scored awesome deals and it’s a great example of how coupons can help you save on items that everyone uses – not just junk food.  I purchased laundry detergent, deodorant, makeup, tuna, water and more for super cheap; even FREE!  Coupons aren’t all fruit snacks and boxed meals as some skeptics claim 🙂

One thing I made sure to do today was to use the coupons that expire tomorrow.  I then moved on to a few things that I thought might sell out like the mascara, burritos and popcorn.  I also grabbed the tuna pouches today,  so I could throw them in hubby’s lunch this week.

Thinking ahead to Christmas, the white chocolate has now been put away for hubby’s stocking – one of his all time favorite foods is white chocolate 🙂

Please note that Harris Teeter doesn’t give cash back so if you have items that are going to be a moneymaker after the e-VIC coupon, you need to have other items to cover the overage.

*The Hanbury store  in Chesapeake is well stocked.  Everything seems to still be in stock at 10am and they had lots of endcaps, displays and extra boxes of items around the store.

How did you do?
