Help Sign Do you try to do your shopping early during Triples?

I noticed lots of the deals I was looking for during last Triples were already gone when I went shopping in the early afternoon on the first day of the sale. Have any of you run into this? If you're an early shopper, what time do you try to get to HT? I think my store is 24 hours. I wonder if they'll start tripling coupons late Tuesday night? hmmmm.....

Unfortunately I don't have that luxury since I have to work. I can go early on Saturday and Sunday but usually by then all the good stuff is gone and I have to use the self check out because its the only thing thats open.

I usually go early, the registers start the promotions at 7am so I go at 5:30 or 6am to start shopping and am usually checking out at 7am; however I am usually the only one in the store. It's just me, my friend and the HT stockers!

Usually I get there early, otherwise the good stuff is gone.

This time I won't be able to since it's DD's Birthday

It's not likely that they will start late on Tuesday. Some people have said that their 24 hour stores have started at midnight, but other 24 hour stores have not started until 7 am. I try to go Wednesday morning, but sometimes later in the week I've done better by going around 8:30 pm or 9 pm b/c they've re-stocked items.

Ditto!!! Same here!!! Also, I focus on the free items/best deals. Usually, by 9:00, they're all gone!!!

TOOOOOO MANY Couponers here! If you don't get it by 8am the first day you can forget it.
My game plan is to be there at 6:15 am, but I have been there that time before, and had one very rude woman almost knock me and 2 other people down to get the last few things off the shelf that were free. They never re-stock anything thats a good deal, like last time they said the warehouse was out of totinos pizza rolls.

I have to say our HTs here are really good about keeping stocked. They've run out of a couple things, but they usually get more in the next truck. They did run out of Wacky Mac for weeks at one point, but they said the warehouse was out.

I also work and can't go first thing in the morning, but I've (knock on wood) been fine so far going Wedn and Thursday afternoons.

They won't start it on Tuesday. They'll start it at 7am on Wednesday. You can probably look at the weeks ad, when it comes up online and it will even say that. I'll probably go at midnight once the sales start over, b/c triples should already be in the system at my store, b/c they are tripling this week.

I usually try to get there by a little after 6 but can't this time. Have to get dd on the bus at 7 so as soon as she is on ds and I will head out. Not much that I need this time.

My 24hr store won't start triples until 7am because their isn't a CS agent at the desk. I'm in the store around 6 b/c I have noticed about 6 other couponers that are regulars. I try to check out right at 7 b/c there is another HT right down the street so I can make my 2nd round.
