Second trip to HT Super Doubles Excitement!!

I was exhausted after a long week but I knew that I needed to get back to super doubles and see if they had any stock left at the store.  I was excited to get a few good deals and see some things back on the shelves even though I still had to get a bunch of rain checks.  I grabbed some free Pronto pasta and Barber Chicken.

I grabbed 5 packages of Ortega taco seasonings (our first choice in taco powders) because I had a $1/2 coupons but they would double to $2 each so I wanted to make sure that the $4 in coupons was covered just in case so I could get all the coupon value and not have it adjusted down.  It turns out that they were so busy that they didn't even pay attention that I could have bought only 4 and gotten the overage to cover the cost of the other groceries.  You just never know :)

I grabbed the Pepperidge Farm Garlic bread for the microwave which I guess is new .  We never buy garlic bread and prefer to just make it at home but we have friends and family coming through most of November so it will come in handy and look a little nicer for serving.  It was on sale for half price at $1.50 and there was a $0.75 Ibotta rebate so it seemed like a good splurge (especially because I was hoping for overage from the coupons so I like to put in a little wiggle room).

I grabbed Alexia tater tots which we haven't gotten before.  They were shelf price of $3.69 but on sale for $2.50.  I had two coupons that I am not sure when I printed for $0.75 so they doubled and made each bag $1.  I figure that is a good price for them even though they weren't even on my list of things that I thought I was going to get.

I grabbed two packages for Gerber fruit which were $1.20 and I had a coupon $1/2 so they were $0.20 each.

I used a rain check to get the Domino's sugar for $1.77 each and I used a $0.50 coupon which doubled making them $0.77 per 4 lb bag.


I was looking to get a few more deals because I can only use 20 coupons per day and I hadn't reached the limit but I knew that I reached the limit of my time and energy so I left so that I didn't get things that we wouldn't need.

Total Retail $49.31
Total Savings $42.55 + $3.84(from rain check)= $46.39
Total OOP $2.92

I was excited by the haul that I got (even though it was only two grocery bags) because I spent under $3.  It made me want to go to another Harris Teeter and see what they had left to start shopping all over again but I went home to unpack and get ready for my job as after school coordinator before taking my son home and making dinner.

Wouldn't you be excited to buy all this for under $3?????

    1. Sugar is one thing that I used to always get on sale and match with coupons but it is harder and harder to do that more recently so I am using up rain checks and getting tons of sugar while I have the $0.50 off Domino's coupon. I think that I might do one more stock up because I have another rain check and some more coupons. It is hard because I know that the season is coming for sugar sales within a month so I might hold out because the coupon is good until 11/30. I was excited after this trip!!
