Harris Teeter 1/6 - 1/12

Well, after looking over Harris Teeter's matchups, I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit this one out. Don't get me wrong - there are a lot of freebies, but an awful lot are non-food items. Which I have coming out of my ears. What I need is FOOD! Also, keep in mind when you shop that a lot of the items on the matchup lists are for BOGO products, which means you can only buy one item at a time, per transaction. That means a lot of trips if you want multiples of items. Harris Teeter is so far away from me that I need to factor in gas and time which would be about $50.00 just for the trip, and I just can't justify that. Oh well. You folks with a Harris Teeter close by, enjoy yourselves and let me know what you found! Again, Kathy from $30 Weekly Grocery Challenge has a great matchup list.

You may or may not have noticed that I haven't been posting about Harris Teeter. I haven't really been finding anything worth posting about in the last few weeks. So, in the interest of saving my time and yours, I will only be posting HT matchups when there are triple coupon events or when something is just SCREAMING at me because the deal is that good. If you want to look at HT matchups yourself, there are several resources on the web - this is a good one, except please keep in mind that sale prices vary tremendously from region to region, and what you see posted on another coupon matchup site may not be the same for you. Remember my milk incident. A costly mistake!

Harris Teeter 11/18 - 11/26

I didn't get to Harris Teeter this week. I had reached my budgeted weekly amount at the other stores and since HT tends to be less coupon friendly, I make this my last stop if there's anything left in my allotted weekly shopping budget. Since they don't list BOGO prices in their ad and since I didn't get there this week, I am unable to list BOGO prices for you, but here are the deals I found perusing the ad. Remember, if you are shopping BOGO sales here and your coupon is x.xx/1, you can buy one item and it will ring up half price but if your coupon is x.xx/2 you will need to buy 3 items (to cover the "free" item).

Harris Teeter Heads-Up

Just a short note to my fellow Harris Teeterers; if you shop at the Millsboro, Delaware Harris Teeter, you'll need to watch your couponing habits. Although they do stick to their own coupon policy, it has been my experience that some cashiers will override some things, and some will not. For instance, on one visit I was told I could not use two coupons on a Buy One Get One deal. The very next time I went back I was allowed to do this. Then today when I went I figured I would just not even try to test the waters and just do two separate transactions as everything I was buying was BOGO.

I divided my order up and told the cashier that it would be two separate transactions. She looked at me funny so I explained that I was using coupons on each transaction (which was probably a mistake). She said she wasn't sure she could do that and called the manager over. The manager has to be a drill sergeant in her off hours. She sternly told me that they were NOT supposed to do this, that they would do this ONLY ONCE, and that I was ONLY doing it to get around their coupon policy (well, duh) and NOT to do it again. Yes, sergeant manager, sir.

So, I guess the moral here is, play by the rules at this particular HT, and if you're doing BOGO transactions, for goodness' sake, PLEASE go on two separate days (or at least far enough apart in one day for there to be a shift change!)
