I normally am not much of a couponer (I shop at Aldi and think that I get great prices without having to coupon), but when I heard that Harris Teeter was doing a Triple Couponing Event this week (and I was already going into town), I just had to get on board!

The event is May 18-24, so if you haven’t gone yet and want to, here are some sites to check for coupon matchups and all the deals:
–Southern Savers
–Homemaking Mom
–The Coupon Challenge
–Coupon Teacher
–The Deal Scoop

Hope those links are helpful for you!  I don’t get the paper, so I relied exclusively on printable coupons (the sites I mentioned above so nicely link up the coupons for you!).

I went to two different Harris Teeters, since the first one was sold-out of several items I really wanted. 

At my first stop (pictured above), I spent $4.47, and my coupons totalled $23.96.  So, I got almost $30 worth of groceries for under $5.  At this stop, I got several items for FREE, including two boxes of family size tea bags, a box of instant coffee singles, and a bottle of garlic powder.  I was also excited about the deals I got on coffee creamer ($.22!), salsa ($.50!), and almond milk ($.24!).  I think I messed up somewhere and didn’t get as good of a deal on the salad dressing as I was expecting, but it was still less than what I normally pay!

At my second stop (pictured above), I spent $1.86, and used $20.55 in coupons.  I was really happy to see the total come in below $2!  This trip, I also got some FREE items, including two Greek yogurts, a bottle of honey mustard dipping sauce, a bottle of Worcestershire sauce, two bottles of hot sauce, a bag of shredded cheese, a flavored cottage cheese, a four-pack of cottage cheese.  The rice was $.14 and the strawberries were marked down to $.69.

For my first experience triple couponing, I think I did pretty well! 

What about you?  Have you been to Harris Teeter this week or are you planning on going?
