Confirmed SUPER DOUBLES at Harris Teeter starting 2/16

I'm pretty impressed with myself for predicting that harris teeter was going to be coming up on a super doubles sale soon.  I looked at when they did it last year and was able to predict. I wasn't quite as into couponing then, but this year I will look and see if there is any relation to the items that are on sale so I can see if there is any consistancy from year to year.

Anyway get your coupons ready:

-Up to 20 coupons doubled per card per day
-2 like coupons accepted
-Coupons that state do not double will not be doubles (in my experience if it is coded with a 5 it still will)
-Cannot use a coupon on the "free" item in B1G1 deals
-Doubled up to 1.98!(usually they only double to .99)

Items that will likely be free:

Coffeemate
Muellers pasta
Wholly guacamole or salsa
Kotex pantyliners
Reach dental floss

Cheap
Rhodes rolls
Campbells soup
Regina red wine vinegar
martha white muffin mix
Krusteaz cookie mix
Finish dish detergent

I will be matching the coupons this month, so please check back Tuesday evening for an offical list and Wednesday evening for any additional deals I found in the store while I was shopping!

Farm Fresh Weekly ad 2/9-2/15

Heres the ad for Farm fresh this week. There are a few good deals but not too many. I'm going to be getting more free soup this week(to donate), cheap organic yogurt (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE) and cheap pasta sauce.  I imagine there will be another super doubles sale coming shortly (based on previous years) so I'm looking forward to whenever that is!

Reminder: I will start trying to mark the deals that are $1 more if you shop Thurs-Tues with a star so alleviate any confusion with a star. You will see the MOST savings, if you got to farm fresh on Wednesday's. I've noticed most of the Harris Teeters restock on Thursdays, so that is when I usually go there, but their sales are good all week and not just one day!

Welcome new couponers!

Guessing by the amount of hits this site is getting I figured there are lots of new couponers lurking around.  Here are a few things for newbies to think about or oldies to review.

1) Where do you get your coupons and how do you keep track of them?

This is simple. I get an equal amount of coupons off the computer by printing them from sites like redplum.com, coupons.com, and smartsource.com as I do from the sunday newspaper.  When new coupons online come out I only print any high dollar coupons I might use along with any frozen veggie coupons (these generally do not last very long). I do not print any other coupons until I am ready to use them, since printing them generally makes them expire sooner. I also get my coupons from redplum in the mail, they come automatically.
