Double Coupons = Big Savings!

Harp's Double Coupons started on Wednesday. Needless to say, since it is no secret about Harps and their double coupon event, they were out of almost everything that would've been free or dirt cheap. This was on Thursday evening. Examples of what they were out of was Ken's dressing, Rhode's Rolls, Borden Cheese slices and Best Life Butter. All of these items are less than .30 or free for each item. All of the employees were happy to tell us they were getting another truck in last night, and that things would be on the shelves by noon. I am so excited to go back and get those free/dirt cheap items. We are low on all them, and this is the best way to stock up! When we went last night, I spent less than $5 on $17 worth of items. Keep in mind, I had a coupon for a completely free item, that would've been almost $3. The only thing that was not the best deal was the hamburger helper meals. I still saved .50 a box on those, but was no where near the dirt cheap I could've gotten them for. I did get soup for .25 a can, rice for .50, and noodles for free. Will post again after I get home from trip #2.

Added on:
Went back on Friday morning. They were still out of the Ken's Salad Dressing, but that's ok since the coupon doesn't expire for another month or so. They did have everything else though. I got another almost $18 worth of groceries for $1.24 in tax only. This would've been higher by about $2 if they had not given me the overage. They aren't supposed to give overage, but the machine was acting up and the cashier, who was a manager I believe, had to manually enter the double amount, and wasn't paying attention and gave the overage. This meant I got everything free, and the overage covered the $2 I would've paid before taxes. All in all, in 2 trips I got almost $36 in groceries for about $6 OOP (out of pocket).
