Today I set my alarm at 6 am to go grocery shopping.
Why so early you ask?
Harris Teeter, a grocery store in my area, doubles coupons up to $0.99 every day. However, sometimes they have events, sometimes weekly, other times just "blitzes" of three days, where ALL coupons up to $2 double. This is called SUPER DOUBLES. This blitz starts at 7am on Sunday and lasts through Tuesday at 11:59pm.
I love super doubles! These are the times I get items for free or very cheap.
After spending some hours planning my shopping trip last night, with a list of what to get, paired with what coupons to use, and what, if any, I would be paying at the register. You see, there are some rules to these super doubles events.
RULES
- To get sales prices you must have a Harris Teeter card.
- There is a limit of 20 coupons that will DOUBLE. (You may use more coupons, but only 20 whose value is $2 and under will double).
- Only 3 like coupons may be used at Harris Teeter. That means if I buy toothpaste, I can only use three of the same coupon( unless there is another limit of the coupon which limits to one or two items per day).
- If an item is out of stock, you may request a rain check. These will expire in 60 days, and may not be used with coupons when bought.
My Shopping Trip
My receipt says I saved $66.92, which means retail price for my shopping trip was $70.07. I PAID $3.15 for all of these items at the register. HOWEVER I used the app Ibotta

THEREFORE...
By using Ibotta app, you get money back by purchasing certain items. I got some rebates and received $4.50 back.
$3.15 (I paid) - $4.50 (I got back) = -$1.35 or I got PAID $1.35 to take home all of the items listed above. I would say that is a great deal! =0)
