OK, I know some of you early birds were up early this morning and headed for Harris Teeter, so let's hear it: How'd you do?
Post your totals, your brags, your funny stories and any unadvertised deals you may have stumbled upon.
There will be a link to this post over under "Announcements" on the left-hand side of this blog for the duration of triples.
Deliveries for restocking vary by location. On the north side of Raleigh, trucks come Tue, Thur and Sat. One caveat -- things are not always shelved after the truck arrives. I know that a couple of HTs shelve items on Sun night -- I presume so they are not in the way during heavier weekend shopping times.
If you shop late, say 10 or after, you will be there when the stockers are working. You can check the boxes lined up in the aisles for what you are looking for. Stockers will open a box for you (if you ask nicely).
HTH
Try Friday morning. Most stores get a truck Thursday night.
Or try again early next week. I still have not worked out the timing on when the second truck arrives during these week-long triples... anyone?
I was at HT this afternoon - now I wasn't trying to get the maximum product for the least money, I shop triples to get good deals on things I'll actually use, sometimes I'll take the opportunity to try out a new product that was more expensive than I was willing to pay so it may still have been a bit pricey, and, while I'm there I tend to pick up other things that I can use that are on sale or even full price if I really need 'em. That said, I came home with $108 worth of groceries for $55.70. Not bad I think.
One general note - if you think they're out of something look around a bit before you give up. Today the canned swanson chicken broth and the evaporated milk both appeared to be gone but were later spotted as part of special sale and/or seasonal displays on endcaps. So if it's not on the shelf don't give up immediately.
So far I have spent $1.95 (including tax)...
Suave 18oz lotion $2.49ea (on sale) + 75c coupon = $.24
Mahatma rice = FREE
Mahatma rice mix packages = FREE for two
Carnation Evap Milk 5 oz =FREE for two
Starkist Tuna Salad Pouch = FREE
Betty Crocker pouch potatoes = FREE
Fleischmann's Pizza Dough Yeast = FREE
No Yolks Noodles = FREE (they were $2.25 ea @HT on Creedmoor Rd)
Suave Men's Deodorant = 24 cents

Mueller's 16 oz pastas = 35 cents for two.
4 oz Pepto-Bismol = 54 cents (all out @ Creedmoor Rd but found @ Leesville)
Yakisoba noodles = FREE
They were out of Heinz at Creedmoor Rd & Leesville today... will they restock at some point?
Thanks for all the hard work, Sue!
