Ok, I know you all are way better at this than me. Sure, I've been doing triples for years, but not as an AFC-er!!

So...Questions

What day is best to go? The first day? Middle of the week?

what time? Early morning? Mid day?

How many times do you go? Once, twice, more?

[BrennansMommy]

I am planning on being there first thing tomorrow (Friday) morning. I saw a lot of people using coupons at the last triples and a few items I planned on getting were already gone. I may go again one day next week after I get the new coupons coming out this weekend.

[armympwife]

absolutely first thing in the morning. Try and be there when the store opens. Extreme but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

[CARRIEMB2]

ok, early to bed for me tonight then!

[LyndaSLP]

I don't know the answers... as I don't shop SuperFresh....

but being in MD, visiting Monica, we have gone every day and have done multiple trips (as in back-to-back in the same store) in the same day without any problems.....

The back of my truck is full.... my DH is going to when I get home.

I'm so glad you ladies are having fun!! Mine is kinda far from me, so i have to decide gas $$ vs. triples savings

Now that is a funny statement for me to read -- considering I am 6+ hrs from the closest SuperFresh!!

I must have been lucky! I didnt shop until sunday and I got all the things I needed. yay! Now did I get all the things I wanted??? Thats a different story

I know how you feel-- I do A&P triples (which is going on this week) and it's not close (it's 9 miles away so not too far but still) and I am going a second time tomorrow and had to convince myself that it's worth it. Mind you, I saved $102.XX with coupons yesterday (saved 74%) so of course it's worth it but sometimes, I overanalyze things!

That is totally me! Mine is about 11 miles, but it seems so far. I saved $175 and spent $40, but I still think about whether I should go out again!

I find going the first day of the tripples, and also Sunday after the new coupons are out works for me. I like going when the store is very busy so I can choose the check out lane I want. (also because my 3 and 5 year old are very loud, and their voices carry throught the store when it is empty!!!)

[LyndaSLP]

Did you ladies know that A&P and SuperFResh are owned by the same people? I bought a re-usable bag at SuperFresh and it had A&P's logo (as well as SuperFresh and some other store logos) on it.

Monica did a trip where her total pre-coupons = $148; after coupons = $1.50

I did a trip: pre-coupons = $100; after coupons = $3.25 (and that included a 0.99 reusable shopping bag and a $1.00 notepad for my son)

[CARRIEMB2]

Woohoo!

Yep, I knew. My mom used to live in NJ, and she had an A&P. Our stores were pretty much the same!

[NJMom]

I assume they were one and the same because I checked out what people were getting at SF and the sale was the same at A&P. It made it a lot easier for me because no one posts in A&P (except usually me during triples)!

I do that ALL THE TIME!

It's okay-- it's good to leave A&P by itself for those who are looking for it but now I know to lurk SF, too!

, you are anytime!!
