Weekly grocery shopping: $215.11 worth of groceries for $17.35!

So this week Harris Teeter is running Super Doubles until next Tuesday!  I really look forward to these events because you can get so many items for rock bottom prices!  Generally Harris Teeter will double coupons below .99 cents. For example, a .50 cent coupon will double to a $1.00 value. During the Super Double event they will double any coupon $2.00 and under ($2.00 coupon doubles to a $4.00 value). I made two trips so far and will probably make a few more before the sale week is over. In the picture I combined both shopping trips together and I will post the pictures of my additional trips this week as well.



On both trips there were errors made which made my total higher than it should have been. The first trip a $2.00 coupon was not scanned which made my total $4.00 higher than it should have been.  I did not realize this till I got home and did not feel like going back to have it corrected.  On my first trip to Harris Teeter (picture below) I should have paid $0.00 (technically I would have had a credit) because I had overage to cover my taxes....oh well I will gladly pay $3 for over $100 worth of products!

On the second trip, the electronic coupons (ZVR/E-vic coupons) were not deducting off for the products.  I went to customer service after paying $21.31 for my second trip because I had $7.50 worth of electronic coupons that did not come off my total.  Customer service kindly refunded me back $7.50 in cash.  I didn't post a picture of the second receipt because it was not accurate due to the error.

  2. Elizabeth, I have tried couponing, but have not had a lot of success. Do you have any specific secrets? Like how do you get the two razors for free? I'm eager to learn! Great job!

    1. Harris Teeter is definitely the easiest store to start at. They have electronic coupons that you can load onto your store card so you can use a paper coupon and an electronic coupon on the same item which is how I get a lot of stuff for free like the razors. Everyday they double all coupons .99 cents and below so if you pair those coupons with something that is on sale that week you can get it for really cheap! Also, the Sunday paper is the best place to get most of the coupons, but you can also find coupons on the internet to print as well. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions :)
