What I Saved: Harris Teeter Super Doubles and a $0.49 CVS trip!

Ugh - so this was not my week for blogging!  I do have a few fun stories from this weekend and a new recipe or two to share, but I'll save that for later!  Although I will say that one involves a potential new addition to the Overholt house!

On to the savings! **DISCLAIMER: This post gets VERY coupon heavy...you have been warned**  Super Doubles were this week at both Harris Teeter and Lowe's Food, so I was pretty busy!  I got up at 5:30 on Wednesday morning to get my first round of SD goodies...and I was the only couponer in the store - I wasn't sure what was going on!! All I know is that I got everything I wanted!

Total value: $78.87
OOP: $10.48
Savings: 87%

That was the only trip I made during the week. I did make a trip on Saturday for the $0.77 Gain and a few other things.

Total value: $69.23
OOP: $10.18
Savings: 85%

Finally, I made two final trips today (I had to visit two stores to get everything I needed!).






Total value: $59.53
OOP: $14.80
Savings: 75%

I also ran to Lowe's Food today to pick up ice cream and coffee using the $1 off Turkey Hill ice cream from last week's paper and thw $1.50 off Seattle's Best coffee from the paper today!

Total value: $17.97
OOP: $4.99
Savings: 72%

Also on the agenda was a Target trip and a CVS trip! Target was good and CVS was GREAT!

Target total value: $6.97

So what were some of my highlights?  Here is the Spreadsheet from some of the great deals I got at HT.
