Last day HT triples

I am glad triples is over...I managed to shop everyday and I am tired and have a house that needs attention. I have donated all the biscuits (HURRAY) and have room in my frige again.

I did find out Super Doubles starts next week (9/30) so I guess I need to get prepared for that. Although I also looked at HT's ad for this week and I can see some good things I will be spending my OYNO catalina on.

Harris Teeter Triples #6

The novelty is wearing off on this, though I do have a new deal to get and tomorrow is the last day. I might go back out today since I didn't use 20Q on one card yet. I finally found the coupons for free Sara Lee bread WYB 2 Hillshire Farms lunch meats, I grabbed a few of them and have managed to get 4 loaves so far. Wish I had remembered sooner to look for this coupon. It is only at 1 of the 3 stores I have been shopping. I almost forgot to look today too.

Harris Teeter Triples day #4 Why knowing your deals is important!

Once again I have managed to make money on a shopping trip. And by that I mean I came home with $1.83 more than when I left. Why? Because the catalina machine didn't work at the lane I was in on my first order. When I asked the YOUNGIN where my $3 catalina was he said it didn't spit it out. I asked him if the "green light was on" indicating that the machine was ready to go. And he says "No, because I think it is out of paper." Ok, so he knew it was out of paper yet decided not to fix it. By now he was on my second order and I immediately told him to STOP and get the catalina machine working-then apologized for telling him what to do. Honestly I wasn't as nice as I could be-but my motto is "I'm not from here, I don't have to be nice." You see people from NC are generally nice easy going and don't raise their voice...I am from NY enough said.
So he did stop and tried to fix it then he said there was something else wrong. In an attempt to get things moving I told him that I would just go to CS and get my money (since the ad was in the paper anyway). He went ahead and called for help since he was going to need them anyway for some of my coupons that would need overrides. She came over and tried to fix it for several minutes....then just gave up after replacing the paper and ink cartridge. She just asked how much they owe me and I told her (they know I know my deals and never question me). She went to get me my $8 and just after I paid it spit out 2 of the 3 catalinas I was supposed to get. So I had her only pay me the $3 for the first missed catalina (though she would have given me $8 if I hadn't said anything).

A deal worth noting...By 2 Hillshire Farms Lunch meat get $3 off instantly. Which is per 2 you buy, not only 2 per order. There is another deal where if you buy 3 you get a catalina for a free insulated Lunch tote (if you mail it in along with your receipt and upc).

On with the order!

Day #4 Harris Teeter Triples running out of Green Giant Q

Today I decided to look to see how many green giant $.50/2 coupons I had left after my first trip. HORROR I only had 4 left! So I decided I would rework my deal to still try and get as many boxes as I could but still not spend much money out of pocket. I figured if I used one $.50/2 coupon and one $3 OYNO cat then I can still get 5 more and still get me a $3 OYNO cat to replace it costing me $.44 out of pocket for every 5 that I purchase. I think that is still pretty good and that gets me 20 more boxes, however I will not meet my goal of filling my 5.5cu ft chest freezer...Oh well, I knew it would be difficult to do anyway. I decided to store the pizza rolls in there too. The freezer is a pain to dig in and fill efficiently, so at least with it being all boxes it is easier to organize.

I only did 2 shops 2 orders in each store.

The best day of the year!

Today I had such an awesome trip! I did 6 transactions, 3 at each store. But in addition to the very little I spent I found my most favorist apples HONEY CRISP-he said they just got them in today. When I found them I stood there gasping for breath (no really I did!) and the Produce guy walked up to me and asked if I was alright. I explained how much I love these apples and my HT has never carried them! So I got me some apples today along with some GREAT buys....
