Triple Coupon Shopping Trip at Harris Teeter

In case you didn’t already hear, Harris Teeter is having another big coupon promotion; this time TRIPLING coupons up to and including $0.99.  The Triple Coupons only lasts through (tomorrow) Tuesday, August 18th, so head on over there soon to take advantage of it!  Nova Thrifty and Frugal In Virginia have some great coupon match-up lists.

Here’s what I got on my shopping trip (2 transactions) for $17.88 (according to my receipts I saved a total of $68.65!):

Some of the best deals were (in my opinion):

Welch’s grape jam $2
– $0.75 IP TRIPLED

Ben & Jerry’s Flipped Out Ice Cream (2 small cups)

Also, just a note on my experience trying to split up my purchase into 2 transactions: I bought enough Betty Crocker fruit snacks to qualify for a $3.50 catalina that printed out with my first purchase.  I then used it toward my second purchase.  Also, the cashier told me that HT has a new thing where the computer/scanner will automatically NOT triple your coupons after you have used 20 that same day.  Splitting up transactions during the same visit will not allow you to use more than 20 coupons for the tripling promotion.  However, the cashier and manager were kind enough to override it for me.  Let me tell you, out of all the stores that I’ve shopped at for special coupon doubling/tripling promotions, Harris Teeter has always been the best experience for me.  The cashier and managers are always so nice at the HT store I frequent, and unlike other grocery stores, I’ve never had the scanner/computer not triple or double like it is supposed to.  It’s been a great experience each time, and I look forward to the next coupon promotion (hopefully next month?)!
