EVIC Coupon Deals!

Digital coupons are such a great resource! Harris Teeter has it's own digital coupon program, called EVIC coupons. You can access it after you sign up for EVIC on the Harris Teeter website. They will email you each week with a link to click on for their digital coupons. Simply click the coupons you want and they are uploaded to your shopper card (VIC card) and come off when you buy the item. 


EVIC coupons do not double but Harris Teeter is very generous and allows you to combine EVIC coupons with a paper coupon! This makes for some super awesome deals! Here are a few EVIC coupon deals that I got this week and I suggest that you try them, too!

Super Double Deals at Harris Teeter

For those who don't know, Super Double coupon week will start at Harris Teeter this Wednesday, August 10th! It's a very exciting week for couponers because it offers a chance to get some great deals in the store, getting many items for free or less than $1. 

Super Doubles means that the store will double coupons that are between $1.00 and $1.98. So, $1 off coupons double to $2.00 off and $1.50 coupons double to $3.00 off. Those are great numbers! I started this weekend pulling any $1 and $1.00 off coupons that I wanted to use to get ready.


A warning- sometimes items sell out quickly during this week, so I say keep a positive attitude and don't expect to get EVERY free or great deal. Going early helps- Harris Teeter starts doubling Wednesday morning at 7 a.m., so if you are there early, you're likely to get the items before everyone else does. 


You can get rain checks for missing items, however keep in mind that if the item is not in stock before Super doubles ends, then your coupon won't super double. What you could do is hold the rain check and coupon and maybe you could use them the next time Super Doubles comes around, probably in about six weeks, provided that the coupon hasn't expired.


Want to get a sneak peak of all the deals? Jenny from Southern Savers has posted a super awesome super double deals list on her website at Southern Savers. Also, try this list from Mom on Dealz with a few great deals that you might be able to snag, too (Thanks, Tracy for the link)! Get ready- it's going to be a fun week!

Star News vs. News and Observer Round Five!

Well, it really isn't even a competition at this point, but for lack of a better title, I decided to do a round five against the Star News and News and Observer papers. The Raleigh paper did have more coupons, although there were a few different ones in the Wilmington paper that were not in the Raleigh paper. I personally bought two of the Raleigh and one Wilmington this morning. If you need help finding the Raleigh paper, see Where to find the Raleigh News and Observer in Southeastern NC to help you.

Below is a list of the coupons that came in each paper this morning!

Total Value of Raleigh Coupons: $203.25

Total Value of Wilmington Paper Coupons: $99.10

Well, again the Raleigh Newspaper had way more dollar value than the Wilmington Star Newspaper coupons today! There were $104.15 more dollar value in coupons in the Raleigh paper than the Wilmington paper, so dollar-for-dollar it is the best value.

I will say that if you want the variety you might want to buy both newspapers. For example, all the Betty Crocker, Yoplait and General Mills coupons and Pillsbury coupons were only in the Wilmington paper today, not the Raleigh paper.


We will meet again next week for another battle of the papers!

Just in time for tomorrow's paper, I thought I would post on where you can find the Sunday Raleigh News and Observer. Many times it has more coupons than the local Wilmington Star News. I wish that were not the case, but I have been comparing the number of coupons in the past four weeks and 3 out of 4 weeks the Raleigh paper won.


The only negative is that it is hard to find! You also have to be up early to get it; many places sell out of it by 10:00 a.m. I always suggest that if you find that a store is running out frequently, speak to the manager and request that they order more. I did that at the store where I buy my paper; they have now doubled the amount of paper that the delivery guy drops off. Finally, if your local store doesn't carry it, suggest that they do! Let them know how much traffic having the Raleigh paper will bring to their store. I personally fill up on gas each week when I go to the Kangaroo that carries my Sunday paper, so it certainly drives more business for them!


Last week in the Raleigh Sunday paper they had an entire page showing where to find the Raleigh News and Observer in SE North Carolina! I was so excited to see this because people ask me this question all of the time. I presume it is up-to-date, since they published it last week (July 31st). Please notify me if there are any errors or if a store stops carrying it. Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you who have had a hard time finding it!

The Seasonal Nature of Sales + Kelloggs Promo

One thing that I love about grocery store sales is that they tend to follow patterns according to the season. For example, in the fall there are lots of deals on cold medicine. In the spring, there are deals on allergy medicine. Around Easter there are sales on hams and around Thanksgiving there are sales on turkeys and canned vegetables. Fourth of July brings sales on hotdogs, buns, grilling meats and paper products (plates, cups, plastic utensils, etc). 


I think you get the idea! I love this because it means easier shopping for us, the consumers. Usually things go on sale right around when you really need them. Even better is that the manufacturers of these products are aware of this and tend to offer coupons for their products around the same time, making it easier for us to match our coupons to the sales.


Right now is back-to-school time. Obviously, there are lots of sales on school supplies at this time but there are great deals on back-to-school type foods. Sandwich crackers and cookies and any snacks that come in individually wrapped packs tend to go on sale right now. Breakfast cereals have also been on sale for the past week or so, so this is a good time to stock up on cereal.


Harris Teeter is running a great promo right now on Kelloggs and Keebler Products. If you buy any 10, $5 comes off of your bill automatically at checkout! Even better is that the cereals are already on sale (Saturday special Kellogs cereals $1.87 each, limit four). You can also use coupons on this transaction and almost all of the listed products in the promo have matching coupons either from the Sunday paper recently, online, or from inside of Kelloggs product packages. Be sure to use my coupon database to look for matching coupons on this promo! This is such a great time to stock up on breakfast cereals!  

Click here for details about the promo!

Also, to be fair, I should mention that Lowes Foods is also running a similar promo. Buy any 10 Kelloggs, Eggo, Murray, Keebler or Famous Amos products and get $5 off your bill automatically. This deal lasts longer, too. You have until August 16th to take advantage!

Meat Coupon plus Saving on Meat

 Meat coupons are rare, but they do exisit! Here's one for you that saves $2.00 off of 2 pounds or more of any fresh or frozen Pork Ribs. I LOVE baby back ribs, so this is definitely a welcome coupon. The great news is that you can print it twice (just hit the back button) and that spare ribs are currently on sale at Harris Teeter for $1.97 a pound (that sale ends tonight). Spare ribs are set to go on sale tomorrow at Food Lion for $1.97 a pound, so you could use it there as well.


Speaking of saving money on meat, since coupons don't come along too often, the best thing to do is simply buy them on sale. When a cut of meat that you like does go on sale, you should buy enough of it to keep you covered for at least a few weeks, maybe 2-4 weeks. Chances are, it will go on sale again within 2-4 weeks, so there is no need to stockpile in extreme.


I personally think a deep freezer is an excellent investment. Be sure to get an energy efficient one. I have found that having meat ready to go in my freezer keeps me from being tempted to go out an pick up dinner from a take out place. For example, last week at Harris Teeter, ground beef went on sale for $1.99/pound. This was a great deal, so I bought twelve packs. I had just gotten a bunch of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil for $.50, so I wrapped each one in foil to keep out frost, and wrote the date and size on each one with a sharpie marker. This week alone we have used the beef twice, once for tacos and another time for spaghetti. The spaghetti was easy because I already had pasta sauce from a previous sale, as well as free spaghetti noodles from Muellers. I mention this because having that ground beef saved us from doing what we love to do around here- making excuses for eating out! This time, there was no excuse, as there is plenty of meat in our freezer. 


You can stock up and freeze chicken, pork and other cuts of meat, as well as milk, bread, and vegetables! Consider this next time you see a great sale!
