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...

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
