Harris Teeter deals 5/4-5/10



This is what I walked away with today:

Fusion ProGlide   $8.99  eVIC member price
-$4 eVIC coupon
-$5 coupon from May P&G Insider mailer
FREE!

Mr. Clean twin pack  $2.99 eVIC member price
-$1.50 eVIC coupon
-$1.50 ($.75 off coupon doubled)
FREE!  I got two magic erasers, love those.

Crest Pro Health toothpaste $2.99 eVIC member price
-$1.50 eVIC coupon

-$1.50 P&G coupon
FREE!

Uncle Ben's White Whole Grain rice $1
-$1.50 ($.75 off coupon doubled)
FREE!

Dawn Plus Dish Liquid $2.19 eVIC member price
-$1 ($.50 coupon doubled)
$1.19

Chicken breasts on sale $.97 per pound


Pampers Jumbo Pack $8.88 eVIC member price
-$1.50 coupon
$7.38

Hidden Valley Salad Kit  2/$4 eVIC member price
-2 $1 coupons
$1 ea.

Some rules about Harris Teeter:
If the amount of your doubled coupon is more than the value of the item, they do NOT give overages.  The coupon will be adjusted to cover the cost of that item but will not spill over to cover other purchases.
Watch the register!  HT has messed up several times with me already.  Today, none of my eVIC coupons came off when I scanned my card.  This is a difference of $9 and represents about 30% of my expected savings... Now I have to go back to the store with my eVIC card and receipt so they can refund my card.  LAME!
I also had an instance where a thing of blueberries was supposed to be B1G1 but wasn't.  This happened in March and I just asked for my money back today (didn't know you could do that until now/didn't want to deal with it, but glad I did!)
***UPDATE*** The eVIC coupons that you add to your card are NOT store coupons, they are manufacturer's coupons!! This means that if you use another manufacturer coupon at checkout, your eVIC coupon cannot be used. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****SECOND UPDATE**** After my second failed trip to try and get my money back, I emailed customer service.  It turns out that I was right, you can use both an eVIC coupon and a manufacturer's coupon together on the same item (Score!) (See Harris Teeter FAQ's:
Can I use a paperless coupon and a paper coupon for the same item?
Yes, you can combine paper and electronic coupons.)

Anyway, so I got a personal call from the manager, my money reimbursed in cash, and $25 of gift cards for the trouble!  Score! 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Either way, there are some fantastic freebies if you live in the area.  If you have no idea where I am getting these coupons, visit the Coupon Database at howtoshopforfree.net.  I just finished Kathy Spencer's book How to Shop for Free and it was wonderful!  Definitely a must-read for anyone wondering what all this money saving fever is about.  Learn how to get clothes, groceries, for free so that you can save your money for the fun stuff!  I mean, really, who really wants to spend as much money as they do on groceries?

Total Savings so Far

Hello readers!  I apologize for not updating in a while.  There was a period where I had to decide if I really wanted to continue with couponing.  After a fresh batch of TLC episodes and reading a few chapters of How To Shop for Free, I have decided that the initial time and effort spent is well worth it!  This post is to show how much I have saved since I started couponing.  No one will be able to save 90-100% when they first start couponing, it is a process.  I am happy to say that I have recently been saving 50% and I am motivated to continue to beat this number.  I am going to get a filing cabinet that will really help with my organization and allow me to store a large number of inserts to take advantage of those free deals when they happen so that I can stock up.  Here are my total savings and spending for the months of March and April, keep in mind, I did not start until mid-March.  The first column is the amount saved with coupons, the second column is the total amount saved with coupons and store membership card, and the third is my out of pocket cost:

As you can probably tell, couponing took a backseat in the latter half of April as Andy and I reevaluated our budget and realized that, while we were saving a lot of money using coupons, we still weren't getting the things we needed.  This is why couponing is a growth process, it will take some time to make it work for you.  I have to admit that I almost threw out the whole thing, and Andy still wants me to, but I will learn from my mistakes and trudge ahead!
I have been encouraged by other couponers and realize that my mistakes are only all-to common with first time couponers.  I will learn from my mistakes and continue.  Stay tuned for more shopping trips and to see if I can beat my savings!!  My goal for the month of May is to save at least 60%.  Our monthly budget is $300 for my family of three.  That means that if I can get $600 worth of groceries for that price, I'll be happy.
