Weekend Harris Teeter Super Double Trips

I went to Harris Teeter yesterday before soccer.  I left early with enough time to grab newspapers at the library so that I could check what the coupons were going to be this week.  I was super excited to find the insert with the Kame coupon for $1.50/2 noodles or sauce which was on sale for $1.50 each.  I grabbed four of each and used the coupons to get them for free!!!  I also got the remaining Barber Chickens that were on the shelf... my husband was a little sad that the still don't have his kind and that I got mushroom but I told them that both of our mothers would love them and they were free!!! I also got three Pronto pasta because I only had three coupons left.  I was a little sad about that but I guess I got a lot more recently then I thought I had!  I also found the Playtex gloves in stock which were free but I only had printed one coupon (UGH!) so hoping that I can get another one if there are any more in stock when I go back.

I got the microwave garlic bread which ended up being free after the two Ibotta rebates.  One for getting the bread and the other for redeeming it twice.  So it cost to $1.49 at the store and the rebates were for $1.50.  I am tempted to try it again and see if I can get every second one for free.  It seems like a good deal plus it racks up the Ibotta rebates which are currently giving pretty good bonuses if I get a bunch more before the end of the month.

I used a rain check to get the sugar for buy one, get one free and I used four coupons to get them for way less then the $3.69 shelf price for about $0.85 each.

Then came my huge splurge for my husband's favorite Redd's Apple Ale ($13.99).  There was a mixed pack with apple, strawberry and cranberry which sounded really fun.  There was an Ibotta rebate for $2 off and there was another rebate for $5 off when you bought pizza.  I grabbed the Red Barron pizza and used the $1/2 to make them $2.99 each since they weren't on sale.  I figured that after the two rebates and any overage from the other coupons that they would be practically free anyway and nice to have in the freezer.

Total Retail $94.09

Total Savings $62.49 + $7.38 for Dominos Rain Check

Total OOP $24.22

I earned $7.75 in Ibotta rebates for this trip and an additional $0.75 bonus for the garlic bread.  If I submit for three more rebates before 10/25 over $0.25 then I get an additional $1 rebate. There is another bonus that it says I am 33% toward so I would need 8 more rebates to get $5 additional.  I don't know if I can do that before the 10/25 date but we will see because that is a lot of money in addition to the other money.  I am going to do another Chobani deal and the garlic bread and hopefully the McCormick Skillet sauces to earn at least 4 more.  I will do the garlic bread again if it brings up the bonus to get the next one for free again.  Then I would only need to do three more to get the $5 bonus!!  Who knows but I have never done this much Ibotta before but my total is already up to $31.55

In addition, I used a prepaid card that we got for a rebate on buying our appliances but I am still counting this as a cost out of pocket because I don't know how else to do it.  We also have some rebates for the paint that we bought at Home Depot that we might be using soon.  I like to get rid of them as quickly as possible and use them for all purchases so they might be spent at Home Depot to buy some insulation for our attic which is our next project in the house...after my husband installs all the ceiling fans.
