Okay good, I was having a nervous breakdown, now I can save it for then.

[TJ_2008]

No need for a nervous breakdown,.... yet...

[momtocj7mea]

Wow! I don't know if I would be excited about this news or just plain overwhelmed! I twisted my ankle yesterday so I didn't go to HT this morning and I was really sad, but sorta glad at the same time since I have been everyday since triples started. It is ashamed it took me hurting my foot to stay at home I need at least 1 week "off" though and I absolutely cannot buy another freezer!! Who thinks HT is trying to burn us super couponers out?!! It would be a good strategy though because if I knew that they were going to be having these special events so close together then I wouldn't go as much during each event which would mean more stock for other shoppers, including the casual couponers, which is who HT really wants to attract anyway. This may be HT's ultimate goal ya know. The sad thing is I was supposed to do a mystery shop at a HT the other day but I was so tired of going to the dang store, I canceled it!

[momof2grls]

I goggled it and found another forum that said they had confirmed it through HQ. So....Hopefully we will find out soon!

[nene0784]

oh......my.......word.......you are kidding.... <~~~this is how i'm going to feel soon with all of these doubles and triples!

You and me both!

[momof2sweetkids]

The source that i have at my store said she hasn't heard anything about it. So i dunno. She lets me know ahead of time about them, but she said she hasn't heard anything this time. I kinda hope its true but i kinda don't. I have very mixed feeling as i haven't even gotten everything put away from triples because i have no idea where i am going to put it. But on the other hand i just can't stop myself....

[valkyrieanne]

I SO HOPE we do have super doubles before the end of the month because I have a TON of $1 Q's I need to use.
This triples has just not been very good for me --- I've only done 48 Q's in 4 trips. They never re-stock ANYTHING

[lms28023]

I can't breath! Seriously, Someone get me a paper bag. LOL. I've been to HT 4 out of the last 5 days. I can't stop myself.

[Dixspot]

Ok triples doubles for a month, hmm one wonders if they will stop it in the New year?? Anybody heard any rumors on that one.

anybody got the add for wed the 23rd??

[coastiemom]

When I was there the other day, I asked the grocery manager and she was saying they are going to be doing triples and super doubles every six weeks.

[quickclips4money]

All I can say is Wow and I sure am tired!!!

[momofmany]

I would love it, IF my store would actually stock anything for more than the first day of each week's sales. If you don't get it Wednesday, MAYBE Thursday, don't bother. Maybe having them more often, they'd have more inventory. I dunno.

I know this should be good news and it is. I'm just overwhelmed!

very interesting that you mention this. i keep reading of this "planning."

could someone tell me what planning is involved?

the only trips i plan are CVS because i have to actually figure out the dollar amount, ya know? the ecb's, $$/$$ Q's to get the lowest OOP, etc.

but, with HT it's just:

1. grab your triple/double Q's
2. look the items up on express lane
3. make a list
4. and go shopping.

i'm being serious.
what kinda "planning" do y'all do for HT triples/doubles that is so exhausting??

This week it was the buy 15 items get the $5 off... especially if it would put your total negative. Then also looking on express lane to find out what is a good price and what isn't can take some time too. So writing your list out of what you want to get for the week can take awhile, plus only using 20 coupons each day, make it where you have to go everyday, which can get tiring.

Ah, well for me it's partly a scheduling thing since my hubbs works different shifts every day and never has the same work schedule any given week, or same days off for that matter. Juggling that with my daughter 2-3 half-days at daycare is fun enough.

Also, we have a $60-70 budget every week for food that we strictly have to follow since we don't have credit cards (don't want them anymore), so it can get tricky coming up with the most important ingredients for meals and stuff that week versus wants and freebies. SURE, I can get 5 bottles of Mustard at .35c but do I need it?

It's about weighing it all and then falling asleep face first in bed. hahaha!

Oh, last note: I also comparison shop with my other stores for that same week. Even with triples, sometimes Food Lion may have a better deal on things I need that week.

Also, gas money is included in that for me. It can get awfully frustrating and I really REALLY hate shopping wtih my daughter since she messes up all my math. I always overspend when I'm with her because I don't correct my mistakes and just want to get out of there!!!!!! THEN I gotta go back, yada yada.

That's my whiny story anyhow! LOL!

[Time4mom2]

For me it about having the "right" coupons available. I ride several coupon trains and have to get those envies ready during the week, plus make sure I don't send the coupons I need for the sale!

[aidan&logansmommy]

I have the ad for 9/23-9/29, and just wanted to go ahead and post that there is no Super Doubles this coming week. I will type up the ad preview when I get back from dropping Aidan at school!

[vartrip]

I'm glad, I need a breather.

[Dixspot]

Whew me 2!!
