Hey everyone - just wondering what your plans are for the rest of the sale week? What are you hoping gets re-stocked? What is your favorite buy this time around? What can you not fit one more of in your cabinets? Have you run into other couponers or AFC'ers? Have there been any policy changes at your store? It seems like more are enforcing the 1 coupon on bogo's policy.

I've ony made three trip and hope to get the rest of my trade coupons tomorrow so I can finish up w/a few good things. I have so many White House applesauce cups and still more q's left, but I think I'm calling it quits on those for now. Maybe they'll go on sale before the q expires! My favorite buy has to be the full size Skintimate b/c $0.34 is a great price even though you can get the travel size for free.

I've bought one roll of the Reynold's Recycled, 50 sf for $1.34, but I truly can't figure out if this is a good deal. I don't do Wags so I never got in on the free foil deal. I typically buy the big 250 sf rolls from BJ's, but it's been so long I can't remember how much it costs.

I have a few coupon's to get taken care of.. red baron pizza( singles) tabasco sauce, lady speed stick, flips pretzels, McCormick spices, Mahatma yellow rice french's mustard( they were out of these) Lysol cling, Clorox bleach, dole fruit bowls, purell hand sanitizer, pepto bismol, mission tortillas,hillshire sausages, dannon single cup , yogurt. In this Sunday's paper there are only a few coupons I am going to be using for triples.I am hoping to find this all by Sunday and I am done. I have very little closet space, and fridge space.

The rest of the sale week I am going to keep rolling the water cat and Old El Paso cat. I also am going to get more Hillshire Farms brats/sausages. I have seen others with binders but no one has spoken to me and I have not been brave enough to ask. I hope there are a few lower value coupon in Greensboro's paper so they will triple. I saw the list for Sunday but we don't always get what is listed. I am pleasantly surprised this time with the stock at Harris Teeter. They have done a really good job keeping items on the shelves. I have only noticed a few things sold out.

I have seen a few afcers.. well they were all together I always ask people about their couponing.. especially if they have binders. I used to be shy about that sort of thing but not anymore. I finished my binder the other day.

I was kind of bummed that they were out of the secret deodorant b/c coupon expired yesterday. I plan on getting the purell & speedstick.

Oh yes - the Deer Park deal! I almost forgot and definitely didn't feel like pushing 4 cases of water around in a cart this morning! The bogo sale ends on May 5th, even though the cat deal is on for most of the month. I also forgot to mention that I ran into Carriemb2 today!

I am loving all the McCormick spices! I use tons of spices when I cook, and I have bought everything! Love the $.09 croutons too!

[CARRIEMB2]

It's great running into Sharon and her dd at the store every now and then!

I have only gone three times this week so far. I have been busy and I really didn't have that many coupons I had to use! My favorite deal has got to be the Old El Paso catalina promo. I am loading up on Taco Seasoning to get those $3 meat coupons. I have been more happy with that than any of the triples deals! I have not run into any AFC'ers but I have been carrying my tote bag as I shop and I gave out some coupons the other night.

My store has gotten so strict this time around that it has not been much fun! I don't like all of the signs taped at every register and the scrutiny of every single coupon. Of course, I went to another store and everything was very pleasant! Then I went to my regular store at night instead of the morning, and found that the night shift was much more easy going! Guess I will change my shopping habits! I have been pleasantly surprised at how well stocked things have been. I have found everything except the Lysol cling.

My harris teeter has been super nice and very well stocked this time. The only thing I did not get and wanted was the dawn dish soap. I went the first morning at 7:30 (the only time I could go minus kids) and they were wiped clean and there were not many people in the store! I never got a rain check which I should have but oh well. I have to say this has been a great expierence this time around but I did notice that the one I go to mostly, had higher prices on some things than the other ht just down the road. Oh and one question... did I do something wrong by getting the $2 off beef with the grande chips? The q beeped but they pushed it through both times I did it. I see others on here saying that it should not be used.

[kcelianeil]

Yes...my store has also been very strict and that is fine....no problem...but the management has been plain rude and seems very agitated...it must be rolling downhill!!!!!

I will probably go again tomorrow and do the water deal.....what is the el paso deal? I missed that.

I will continue to get huggies wipes, lady speed stick, planters bars if they have them, lysol toilet if they have it....red baron pizza....and I have to go back and see what new Qs are coming out tomorrow.

I hope that they are not as rude....I almost feel uneasy going in there with my Qs ...it was that bad. I was trying to smile and be lighthearted....saying "you guys must be exhausted from all theses Qs" and the manager did not even look up or smile...just a ugh hugh....it really does take the joy out of triples for me.

[jnsmith1]

I went in about 8am and the manager was annoyed or so it seemed. However the stockers and clerks were really helpful about pointing out where items where and chatting about the q's. one girl asked if I would help her shop when she got off work. just told her to become a devotee to AFC

[momofmany]

I guess I'm the only one not at all excited about this triples? Most of the good Qs we didn't get in this area, and I didn't get around to trading for them, so there've only been a few items worth going for. No grande chips Qs here, which is a bummer. Our prices are higher than most other areas, so even the "freebies" aren't.

Sigh. Maybe next go round, when our NEW HT down the street is finally open!

The only thing I have had trouble finding is the Mahatma rice, but they got more in Thursday night. I have gone three times and am feeling tired. My favorite deal has been the Old El Paso taco seasoning. I went Tuesday before triples and did the deal. Each packet of seasoning cost me 67 cents. On Wednesday (first triples day) the seasoning was BOGO at 1.19 each....interesting. It was still cheap as BOGO, but that is a pretty dramatic price increase. That's not how we celebrate cinco de mayo!!

I'm pretty disappointed with today's coupons. The only one I saw that I might use is the .50/1 GrillMates. I've used most of my other coupons. I lost an entire baggie of 20 coupons I had set up for a shopping trip the other day! I was at the store trying to get both of my kids in the cart. After I got them both settled, my 3 year old wanted to go to the bathroom so we had to all get out the cart again and then back in again. Somewhere along the way I lost my coupons. I had 3 mccormick, 3 Ortega, 2 flipz, 3 Viva, a couple of Knorr rice/pasta, 3 Eggos and some others. I was pretty bummed, but I guess it saves me from having to make another trip. I went yesterday and they were out of a few things...mustard, yellow rice, baby wipes, skintimate trial sizes and a couple other items, but for the most part they were well stocked. I chatted with the cashier and a manager about triples and they said a woman came in the other day and got pretty irate when she wasn't allowed to use 20 IP's and started yelling and "cursing them out"! Their policy at my store is only 2 IP's per trip. I asked if they would be doing triples monthly now and they said yes! Yay! I have gotten most of what I really wanted and have a few more coupons that I might try to use before its all over.
