HT triples and a slow week at Publix

Crazy HT trip. Everyone was couponing! It was so funny. Last time they tripled, when I went (twice, once Friday and once early Sunday to get the things that were sold out) I didn't see anyone else with coupons. This time, everyone had their little coupon envelopes, binders and stashes out. :) I even overheard one DH comment to his wife, "I don't know honey, you're the coupon expert". LOL! Could be because our local Ms. Cheap did a segment on the news a couple of days ago about HT triples.
Not too terribly much excited me, and a few not free things, but decent deals on items I needed...

Harris Teeter

3 Skintimate shave gels ($.75/1 mq= free)

3 Bumblebee tuna pouches ($.55/1 mq)
3 Tabasco sauce ($.50/1 mq= free)

Publix was not a huge trip this week. Got some good deals on the things I wanted, but not too many moneymakers, so more oop than usual. Who would have thought there would be a day when $11.62 would be "a lot out of pocket" for a ton of groceries. :)
Saw our favorite manager (who LOVES Zachary and Natalya) and offered to babysit Z for me next time I come in if she's on her lunch break. :)

Harris Teeter

I made my way to Harris Teeter today to try my hand at triple coupon week. Many of the things i had on my list were cleaned out (no Nestle Flipz ... NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!) :( But the cashier said they will be getting a truck Saturday and they usually restock Saturday evening for Sunday, so I'll be going again Sunday morning before the post-church crowd hits. Sweet. This was an awesome trip. The cashier and bagger were super nice and helpful. AND they took my Rite Aid $5/$25 coupon! Awesome!

Here's what I got
2 Reynolds Wrap recycled
3 Bertolli organic pasta sauce
1 Planters Big Nut bars
2 Dole All Natural fruit jars peaches
2 McCormick Chili Powder
1 McCormick Red Chili flakes
2 Speed Stick 24/7
12 Dannon yogurts (they had pineapple!!! SCORE!)
2 Egglands Eggs
Total oop: $9.63
Total Savings: $47.02 (80% savings) and will get back the cost of one Reynolds Wrap for mail-in-rebate I printed on Earth Day, $2.99 making total after mir: $6.64 for a savings of... 87%
