Harris Teeter this week 5/8/10

Spent $155, saved $128 this week! I got a little nervous when I saw the original total amount before sales and coupons, but I had to trust my couponing skills :-)

reminders - at HT, if an item is BOGO, you can buy only one for half price if you want. If an item is buy 2 get 3 free, you have to buy all 5 to get the deal. Cpns up to 99 cents double, and you can double up to 20 coupons per day. You can use more than 20 coupons in a transaction, it's just that only 20 will double. Printable coupons can be found at coupons.com or by looking at the "printables" section at Couponing 101 - sometimes you can get cpns on the manufacturer's website too. I'll note if that's the case. You can usually print each printable coupon twice.

Some deals:

Orville Redenbacher popcorn is BOGO and I still had that 75 cent cpn for the cheddar variety since my HT hasn't carried it until now. Orig. 3.15, sale 1.57 (half-price if you buy only one) - 75 cent cpn x2 - final price = 7 cents! It's tasty, too.
