Have fun, everyone! Rock those triples and keep on posting your great deals and pictures!

[sar1]

Good luck everyone! I just finished my list for tomorrow and I'm already getting that pit in my stomach thinking that certain things will already be gone before I get there and I'll need to re-work my plan. I also have a few non-tripling coupons (>$0.99) over the 20 allowed and I'm hoping I don't get that same old argument of not being allowed to use any more than 20 total. I'll be looking for my favorite cashier tomorrow morning! Looking forward to reading your trips!

[cajun-lorelei]

You can always use MORE than 20, but just make sure you do your tripling coupons first!

[Sally]

They always have a coupon policy at each register in my store, when I get this feedback I just tell them to read the policy right at the register. Also most all of the stores have the policy posted at the customer service counter.

Have fun everyone.

[jenakay]

I'm on my way this morning! I'm new and it's my first time doing triples! I'M EXCITED!

[catlover7731]

I will be going tonight. I was hoping for super doubles this time around, so I am not that excited about triples, since most of my coupons are $1. I am going to go through my coupons today and take 40 with me and hopefully get to use 20 coupons. Good luck all.

[KarmaVB]

Ok just got to work after triples! I bought a couple of things that weren't "awesome" deals, but here goes:

Betty Crocker Potatoes .40 cpn (.05)
Betty crocker frosting .50 cpn (.49)
Minute Rice cups .50 cpn (.69)
Viva Big Roll .85 cpn (.14)
Gen Foods Intl Coffee .75 cpn (1.74)
Carnation Milk .50 of 2 (.50)
4 Cans Cream of Mushroom (BOGO) .40 of 4 (2.80) -- had to stock up
3 Cans Campbells Gravy .30 cpm (.38)
Duke Mayo .55 cpn (.34)
Crescent Rolls (2) .50 cpn (2.88) -- Requested by my mom
I can't believe its not butter spray --.75 cpn (.64)
International Delight Creamer Quart size .75 cpn (.74)
Pepto Bismol .75 cpn (1.94)

I also was out of the Del Monte Fruit cups so I had to get some 3@3.77

Total OOP was 18.18. Not too shabby.. Would have been better if I didn't need certain things, at least I had coupons for them!

I may have to go back tonight

Good Luck and Have fun!!

[jevans1120]

Hoping to see what everyone else gets because many of the things listed on the shopping list were not on sale, or at least not at my store. I checked the tags AND the sale flyer. I didn't have the time or patience to put those things in my cart with my 1 yr old with me and make them take them off at the register if they didn't ring up on sale.

Overall, spent $49.26 for almost $120 worth of groceries.

After tax total came to 49.26. I have plenty of wonderful food for lunches. My one yr old eats those pears like they're going out of style. The pizza rolls and quesadillas are great for football Sundays. Overall, I'm very happy with what I purchased.

What they didn't have that SL said (again could be my bad eyes or not on sale at my store, I'M NOT BLAMING SL or those that do it!?! I love them and it's a FABULOUS tool. Just frustrated that these things were not available to me or at the price I expected.):

Milk Bone Essentials<-HT does not carry them
Campbells Chicken Noodle <-was not on sale
Betty Crocker WD<-Good thing I had a rc not on sale
Betty Crocker Potatos<-ones I found were not on sale, could not find sale item
Juicy Juice<-not on sale, not bottles, not 8pks our store had minute maid
Mahatma rice<-not on sale
Minute Rice<-not on sale

Thank you to all who do the shopping list. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have found all those other wonderful things above!

Double check your tortilla strips. Coupon starts with a 9 so it doesn't triple, did that last time and took me forever to figure out why my total was off.

[Myrna Fanney]

I just got back from Harris Teeter! I saved 33.00 in coupons and my out of pocket was $11.xx!! I got muffin mix (Martha W.) ground beef, scrubbing bubbles, Clorox( with rain check from previous sale!! .25 each!!!) sugar, cascade dishwasher gel, welch's grape juice, country crock, frozen sweet potato fries, and some other stuff. I used 11 coupons. I also saw 4 or 5 ladies shopping with their binders so I'll probably take mine next time I got some great deals! Thanks AFC!
