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...

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
