I spent $76 and saved $87 today at Triples, but probably could have spent less if I were only getting the triples items. Boston Butt pork roast was on sale for 99 cents/lb though and I also finally got the diapers from the Huggies deal last week (rain check).
I'm really lazy tonight, so I'll let you look up where to find the coupons here in Sue Stock's database.
Some deals (in no particular order):
Mahatma brown rice - orig. 2.69, sale 2.39 - 50 cent cpn x3 = 89 cents (69 cents for white rice)
Irish Spring soap - orig. 2.69 for 3 pack, sale 2.19 - 75 cents off 2 cpn x 3 = $1.06 each 3 pack
McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian seasoning - orig. 2.65 - 75 cents off x3 = 40 cents
Mentos gum - orig. 1.49 - 55 cents off x3 = FREE
Speed Stick deodorant - orig. 4.19, sale $2 - 50 cents x3 = 50 cents
More cheap toothpaste - Crest is on sale for $2.50 - 75 cents off (on 3/7) x3 = 25 cents OR 50 cents off (on 3/21) x 3 = $1
Degree deodorant (travel size) - 2 for $3 - cpn 75 cents off 2 (4/25) x3 = 75 cents for 2 (37 cents each)
Land o' Lakes spreadable butter w/ olive oil (although I got the one with canola oil and the cpn still worked) - orig. 2.19 - 75 cents off x 3 = FREE
Sargento cheese - orig. 3.19, sale BOGO so $1.60 each - peelie cpns for 55 cents off 2 x 3 = 1.54
Danactive orig. 2.50 - 75 cents x 3 = 25 cents
Neosporin Max - orig. 5.85, sale 3.99 - 50 cents x3 (from 4/25 and 3/14) = 2.49
Bandaids (Dora the Explorer or Spongebob) - orig. 3.25, sale 1.99 - 50 cents x3 = 49 cents
Non triples coupon deals:
Danonino Yogurt - orig. 2.29 - sale 1.99 - cpn for $1 off = 99 cents
Yoplait Simply Gogurt - orig. 2.99, sale $2 - printable cpns for $1.10 = 90 cents
Other deals:
Dunkin Donuts turbo coffee - orig. 7.99, eVic = 3.99
Don't forget, you get "Healthy Smile"points for every $ spent on oral care items (toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, floss) and Diaper points for every $ spent on diapers. These are dollars spent BEFORE coupons. If you get 40 healthy smile points you get $5 off your next order and for 50 diaper points you get $10 off your next order. $20 in Dannon products gets you $3 back too, though this doesn't appear to track on the receipts.

Huggies Deal at HT!
Ok parents of the diaper-wearing set, this is a good deal for you this week!
Harris Teeter has a sale going on Jumbo pack Huggies diapers - they are $5.99 which is ridiculously cheap as it is (usually about $10 which is why I don't buy them - Luvs are much cheaper and they send me regular $2.50 off coupons).
But...then add these printable $3 off coupons (scroll down - you should be able to print each twice), and they are $2.99 per pack! For the Snug and Dry kind this amounts to about 9 cents per diaper. Definitely a great deal!

Couponing Milestone - First Rebates!
I decided to try doing some rebates. The hardest part was getting started really. Once I got it going, I was looking for more and more to do!
A lot of people think I'm an organized person. In truth, I do what I have to do to survive and not drive myself insane with looking for things. I start out with the best of intentions and a process I plan on following through with. But when things get busy, the process goes out the window and things start piling up. I'm confessing to all of this because I think to maximize couponing you have to be organized and even more so with rebates.
I had to find my envelopes and stamps which I haven't used in forever (who uses the real MAIL for anything anymore??) and I had to print up some rebate forms. Then I had to dig through my basket of receipts for the ones I needed, and some were in the pockets of my purse or diaper bag. I had to scan the receipts for certain items and circle them, and in one case I had to cut out UPCs from the packaging. For the P&G one I had to look up a list of brands that Proctor and Gamble owns online. In the end though, I am sending in the following:
1. Sorrento Cheese - $5 rebate (peeled the form off the packages) for the purchase of two packages of string cheese. I'm sending in two of these.
2. Hasbro games rebate - This is a great deal at Toys R Us - Hasbro games were on sale plus there are printable coupons in their website, PLUS there are $3 rebates on many of them. So, I will get $9 back for this rebate which will make my games (Operation, Battleship, and Connect 4) FREE
3. Proctor & Gamble (P&G) Year of Savings - buy $50 worth of items and get a $100 booklet of coupons. These are brands like Bounty, Charmin, Gillette, Luvs diapers, Pampers diapers, and more. This ends at the end of May so search through your March and April receipts for this!
4. Georgia Pacific/Kimberly-Clark $5 rebate - if you buy $20 worth of participating products you can get $5 back (the rebate form is on the cover of the 3/14 Red Plum insert). Brands include Brawny paper towels, Quilted Northern toilet paper, Dixie cups, and others. I'm not going to get this one because I haven't purchased enough of these products within the time window. Receipts must be from between 3/11 and 4/18.
These amounts that you need to reach for the rebate are prior to taxes and coupons/sale discounts, so you can match these products up with sales and coupons and also get the rebate.
Overall I should get $19 back and a big packet ($100 worth) of P&G coupons for the small price of 4 stamps. Not too bad. As long as I keep my stuff organized it should not take too much time to participate in these rebates in the future.

Kmart Super Doubles starts TOMORROW!
Ok, I'm surprised that no one is reporting this on the blogs I typically follow, but it is my understanding that my local Kmart (Durham, near South Square - between the Target and the Harris Teeter shopping centers) is participating.
Kmart is doubling coupons up to and INCLUDING $2 from 4/4 through 4/10. That means up to $4 off. They are only doubling up to 5 coupons per day. Here's a great deals list from Southern Savers.
Good Luck!
