Advice on saving money with coupons

So money is tight right now, like a lot of people, and I've asked my wife (who handles grocery stopping) to start using coupons. I've heard stories of people saving a TON of money, by going into Harris Teeter, etc, but I really don't know where to start or how to also gain that success. I also heard you can use other store's coupons at Harris Teeter?

I figured there has to be some people on here that do this.....

Sign up for Harris Teeter's weekly ads and go when they have triple coupons (triple up to $.99 coupons) or super double (double up to $1.98 coupons). They always have double coupons (up to $.99). When they have those specials, you can only use 20 coupons per day. Some people go around buying up all the Sunday papers they can to get the coupons. However, you can go to the manufacturer's websites (smartsource.com, redplum.com, and pgeverydaysolutions.com) and print them off for free.

I haven't done this in a long time (I need to), but you can save some major cash if you know you are doing. Like only paying $15 for $150+ worth of stuff. You may want to tell her to get a binder that has baseball card pages to keep up with the coupons...makes it easier.

one trick I use is to use a coupon to buy something that is on sale. If you do that, you can save money big time. Like Tar said, Bi-Lo and the Teeter always double coupons up to 99 cents.

On super double and triples, you can save some serious money. On a super triple day I got 40 bucks worth of groceries for 15 bucks.

Thanks for the tips (and link). When you say "per day", you mean per store? I actually have 2 Harris Teeters within 5 minutes of my home, as well as a very nice super Bi-Lo.

I think it's per day, no matter which store. It's tied into your VIC card. Since I haven't done this in over a year, I don't exactly know. Back then, they weren't as strict with it.

a note about HT: they will rape you on things that aren't on special, even with coupons.

a note on coupons: try writing customer feedback online to the companies that make your favorite products. Out of gratitude, many will mail you awesome coupons. We've gotten free thomas' english muffins, several dollars off Proctor and Gamble products, etc.

Yeah, everyone should already know that if you are shopping at the Teet, you are being raped with prices.

They do have the best selection of fresh produce and meats. Everything else I buy at Wal Mart

It's the most staggering when it comes to spices...

I've seen a spice (don't remember which)

... at harris teeter you could get a small jar for 8 dollars

... at food lion you could get a larger jar for 5 dollars

... at fresh market or home economist you could get an even larger bag for about 60 or 70 cents.

A lot of it is knowing where to go...

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
