Double Dollar Week @ HT

So I took Chloë shopping with me, after a shoe store mystery shop, at Harris Teeter. I'd carefully looked over the Harris Teeter couponing blogs (yes, there are blogs devoted just to couponing Hampton Roads - can you believe it? But don't worry, this will definitely not become one of them) and selected the coupons for what I was going to buy. I could've gotten more stuff for free if I was interested in them and had the coupons for them, but I did pretty well. Observe:

 

(Forget the background mess in the picture. It's a fact, there will always be background mess in this house. I'm getting used to it and you should, too.)

So this is what I got:

* 2 boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats, 18 oz size

* Can of Hot Shot Hornet & Wasp Spray (wish it was flies, but that wasn't on sale)

* 2 loaves of La Brea French Bread

* Package of Buitoni Fettucine refrigerated pasta

* Archway chocolate chip cookies

* Quart of Promised Land chocolate milk

* Lysol Cling toilet bowl cleaner, Citrus scent

* Kraft Original BBQ Sauce

* Bottle of Kraft Cucumber Ranch dressing

* Hefty One-Zip Fresh Extend bags

* Can of Starbucks Cappucino drink

* Starbucks Java Chip ice cream

* Pouch of Bumblebee Pink Salmon

* Reach Floss

Now, that's a lot of stuff, right? Guess how much I paid out of pocket? $5.24!!! 

Deets:

Several of the items were free after coupons, since HT is doubling up to $1.98 (and K-Mart is doubling up to $2 next week, so watch out for that!), and some were really cheap. The total of my order, after VIC savings and weekly sales (so the value is actually much greater, but I didn't calculate it), was $45.26. I saved $38.28 in coupons for one paper bag full of food (argh, forgot my canvas bags), and I had $1.74 left on a free $5 gift card I received in a box of Cocoa Puffs.

Not bad, eh, and good stuff (for them, not for me) to boot!

Just thought I'd share, since saving boucoup bucks always excites me. And just because it was on my camera at the same time, here's a picture of me:

 

...for no reason, I think, other than that I was actually wearing make-up. Obviously I need to find out what the Soapy did with my lipstick stash...

Fin.

I love the face picture. You seem, I don't know, brighter somehow...
