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...

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
