Harris Teeter trip

Normally, I do not grocery shop at Harris Teeter. The main reason is that the closest one is 30 minutes away. After visiting the store, I would say my secondary and tertiary reasons are selection and customer service (other than the store manager who was fabulous).  However, because of triple coupons this week, I thought I'd give it a go, and because of their rules when they do triple coupons, I had to go two times. 

Here's the loot from the first trip:

huggies wipes, 2 pastas, taco shells, refried beans, 3 cake frostings, 3 sour creams, 4 mustards, tortilla chips, and 12 yogurts. 

Since I just got a VIC card, it didn't ring up, so the cashier (in training I might add) said he'd override it at the end. Well, he did, or so he said....and my total came to $20.24. I thought that sounded high and asked if my coupons tripled. He said yes. I went to the car and tried to tally what I thought should be my total and I came up with $6 plus tax. I went back inside and talked to the manager. She went to the register, retrieved my coupons, got my receipt and scanned it. Come to find out, some of my coupons weren't even scanned, GASP, so she adjusted my bill and gave me back $12.15. Total spending on this trip. $8.09.  Total savings this trip $47.98.  (I miscalculated when I posted on FB)

Here's the loot from the second trip: 

3 packages of frozen rolls, breyers ice cream, eggo waffles and arm and hammer shower cleaner

My second trip wasn't as successful as they didn't have a few of the items, but I still got out with a savings. Total Spent: $1.15.  Total Saved  $18.56

Total spent $9.24 ---- Total Saved:  $66.54
