Good morning everybody! Got your game faces on? Ready to shop triples for an entire week until we drop? Everyone excited? Let's do this! Happy shopping everybody! Post back here when you get a chance to brag about how great you did! Got pics? Post them here, too!

[catlover7731]

I won't be able to go until hubby gets off work . I see some great deals. So please leave some for me ladies/men. I will post tonight when I get back. I all ready have my coupons separated. What I have learned to do I take out all the coupons for sales from my binder and put them up front in a few pages so I don't have to go through the whole book. I have about 6 pages ( 4-6 coupons each) to go through, so I will be going back more than once. A whole week Wow!! Can't wait to see how everyone does !!! Good luck. Cheryl

i am heading to triples right now!!!

[ncmama42]

I have to wait until I get paid on Friday!

[Moxie_15]

So I had to go at 6:45 this morning so I could take hubby's truck (as we are currently carless) and do my first Triples transaction. I wasn't gonna go when the alarm went off, then I couldn't stop thinking about it and I'm SO glad I went!! There were a lot of things I didn't get b/c the prices weren't what they should have been and I didn't have my calculator and they were still putting signs up, and there were things that this HT doesn't carry...long story short, I'm glad I brought ALL of my coupons.

Here's my haul!



The rundown:

(2) Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes
(1) Arm & Hammer Scrub Free Spray
(2) Huggies Extra Sensitive Packs
(1) French's Mustard
(4) Aqua Juice
(1) Jet Dry
(4) Beech-Nut Let's Grow! Products
(1) Wacky Mac
(2) No Yolks Pasta
(1) Totino's Pizza Rolls

Original total: $57.94
Total OOP: 3.86
Savings: 94%


You know it's good when your cashier stops for a second when she's handing you your change and says "Oh wow." Bwah ah ah. Hopefully trip 2 will be good at a different one.

As far as I understood all the Harris Teeter stores triple from today on till upcoming Tuesday. HTH

[auntB]

I was the first one in the door when it opened at 6am this morning. We've always been able to start triples when the store opened but this morning their computers didn't start doing triples until 7 am. They also said the computers at ALL HT are set up to only allow you to use your card ONCE a day. Anyone tried to use your card more than once today? Did it work?
My savings was $54 and my OOP was $6.95.
I got 10 veggies with no coupons but they were on sale for $1.00 each and then they automatically took off $4 for buying 10. The tax was 74 cents so I got my other 20 items for 21 cents before tax so I was very pleased.

Oh please, please, please, somebody report back on whether or not this is true! This would be awful!

moxie_15 - where did you find a coupon for a knife block? ;-)

[ncscgirl2005]

I used mine twice today with no problems.

[RhylansMom]

I am heading out now

[valkyrieanne]

I saved $81.23 with coupons and VIC. Pretty happy with that since I bought some of the sale stuff I didn't have Q's for. That buy 1 get 2 free deli meat and cheese is to good to pass up!

[bdsmommy]

Total before: $46.xx
OOP: $8.xx
3 crest toothpaste, 2 ban deos, 1 RoldGold Pretzels, 2 Cereals, 4 pantiliners, 2 suave body wash, 1 smart pop popcorn, 3 chapstick, something else....cannot remember but good job I think!
Im going back soon.

[babiesabove]

I personally did 3 trips with my card at midnight. WE have 24 hour HTs here

[bellsandbabies]

Total OOP $6.14
Total Coupons tendered $58.41
Total VIC Savings $$18.38

Total savings $76.79

PLUS Free Milk CRT!

Here is what I got:

Mahatma Rice x 6
Jolly Time Popcorn x 5
Huggies Wipes x 3
Dint Moore Beef Stew x 2
Frosted Mini Wheats x 3
Frenchs Spicy Mustard x 3
Frenchs Onions x 3
Hellmans Squeezable (On closeout) x 3
Bananas (Going bad) $0.50

I ran into a fellow AFCer and she told me that when she got to the store she went straight to the Totino's pizza rolls and an employee was there with a box getting ready to re-stock and someone litterally grabbed the entire box and took it!!! Did not leave ANY! How rude! I can understand if there are only 3 left and she grabbed the last 3, or even 6, but ALL of them, C-Mon!

So, I did talk to the manager and he said that this week they were getting trucks every day and that they would have more, not to worry! Ha! Sorry, had to vent!

[momof2sweetkids]

I did 5 trips. I shop for myself, my mom and my grandmother. My oop was 72.07 and my savings was 213.87. I think i did good. They weren't using the same vic card either. I used there phone number for there purchases. I only used my card on my purchases.

[ncscgirl2005]

Bellsandbabies: That is quite ridiculous for someone to be that greedy that they took the whole box.

[Devins mom]

I went around 9 this morning I really wanted some huggies wipes but they didnt have any, also there were no tortinos pizza rolls.

I got 1 loaf arnolds bread-$.99
Pancake mix-$.32
2 bags of rold gold pretzels-$.85 each
Suave body wash-$.49
Pantyliners-Free
2 things of mahatma rice-free
Fiber one bars-$1.00
Dawn-Free
Texas crountons-Free
Total oop-$4.78

I was so excited. Also I dont think that you can only use your card once a day b/c there was a woman there whom they let do 2 transactions.

HA! It's called a marriage certificate, . Gotta love those wedding gifts!

ETA: I know many here have used their VIC card multiple times. BUT things that are BOGO (like I had a BOGO coupon for the AquaJuice), DO beep if you have an additional coupon for the second item. However, the managers have all just pushed them through.

Man, I've gotta figure out if my HT does the midnight thing for Triples. I SO woulda been there last night!! Sure beats being there at 7am. Blah.

[lsharpe6]

My total from my first trip is 44.91 with a 2.06 OOP. My 16-year-old giggled and said, "And everybody else paid 45.00!" Here are a few deals that I haven't seen mentioned.

Mott's Applesauce--1.89-2.27 (juice is on sale for 2.89) .55/1 Q plus Target has 1.00 Q's for this that you can stack

Aleve, 20-24 ct--2.99, .75/1 Q

Fresh Pineapple--.75/1 Q on coupons.com. These are also sale priced at 3.99 making OOP 1.25

Arm & Hammer's web site has some great printables. Clean Shower is .75/1 on a 2.99 bottle. OOP .74

Coke Zero, 20 OZ bottle, 1.49-- .50/1 Q

Hope this helps!
