Triples Trips - Saving 92%

Three triples trips combined, total paid $13.52!

So the lady in front of me at my last trip paid $130 dollars for her groceries. I cringed. The funny thing is that I know there were coupons for most of the things she purchased. I guess it's all what you are comfortable doing. I just can't pay those prices any more.

The first Kroger trip is here, and the first Harris Teeter trip is here.

Here are how these trips went:

Are you sure Kroger triples 50 cent coupons? I think mine only does 35 cents and below. :( That's a great deal on those pie crusts though! ANd I'm with you, $!30 is just not okay with me!
Nice savings!

Can you tell me where you found the Eckrich Sausage coupon? Thanks!

Our local Krogers are tripling coupons up to .99 in competition with Harris Teeter. Normally they only double coupons to .50.

The Eckrich coupons came from the SS 10/11. However, I was passing through Atlanta when I bought the papers so the Tennessean may not have had them.
