Harris Teeter Super Doubles Shopping Day 2

Another great day at Harris Teeter, and I didn't buy a single yogurt! Amazing. There are at least three different kinds there this week that you can get for free. I actually got to purchase some veggie ground beef crumbles and veggie hot dogs that I have always wanted to try, but they rarely, if ever, go on sale and the coupons never make them cheap enough to tempt me. Not today! I got them at a great price.

Bargain Meal of the Week 6/25/09

It's time for another week of Bargain Meals! Erin over at $5 Dinners (a great read!) is hosting a gathering of bloggers all over the internet, creating frugal meals straight from the sales circulars of their favorite stores. Check it out for even more inspiration. I contribute every Thursday for the current sales at Publix, which run from Wednesday to the following Tuesday. Keep in mind that you do not need to purchase two of a product to get the buy one get one price. Publix marks down their products to half price for the BOGO deals.

Garlic Turkey Meatballs & Sauce

from Cooks.com with slight alteration

Ingredients:

1 package ground turkey meat
1 egg
1 cup garlic bread crumbs
2 dashes garlic salt or powder
1 can pasta sauce of choice

Instructions:

Add turkey meat and bread crumbs to bowl. Mix well. Add egg to mixture. Mix well until completely blended. Roll meat into any sized meat balls. Spray pan with Pam.

Place them in a frying pan over a medium flame/heat. Move pan around several times to brown the meat balls all around. After several minutes cooking, cut one open and check for color. If still red, let it cook for longer. If light brown, they are ready. Season with garlic salt or powder to taste.

Add pasta sauce and heat until bubbling

Serve over pasta.

*Also enjoy Vanilla Ice Cream topped with fresh peaches for desert!

This is how I shopped today: I grabbed a bunch of coupons that were at least $1/1 product, grouped them into sections of the store and just went and saw what was the best deal.

Super Doubles Begins Today at Harris Teeter!

Gather up your coupons that are over $1 and head over to Harris Teeter. Today begins their week of Super Doubles. They will double any coupon up to $1.98. Remember, you can only use 20 coupons per day, only two printables per type of product, three of the same manufacturer coupons per type of product, and only one coupon for BOGO purchases. It's a little complicated to remember all the rules but once you do it a few times it gets easier. There are some great bargains to be had!

Don't forget to look for the Reynolds Wrap Booklet at the self checkout lane.

Reynolds Wrap Booklet at Harris Teeter

I found this great booklet when I was at Harris Teeter today getting more free yogurt. By the way, they have put out more pamphlets with the .75/2 yogurt coupon in them that don't expire until 9/30. Sweet! Back to the subject, there was a stack of Reynold's Wrap Aluminum Foil "Signature Family Recipes" booklets at the self-checkout area. These contain four great coupons, all expiring on 12/31. They are $1/1 Reynolds Wrap (except 25 sq feet), $1/1 Reynolds Parchment Paper, .25/1 Reynold's Baking Cups and $2/1 Reynolds Handi-Vac Starter Kit. These will be great to use tomorrow when Harris Teeter starts their super doubles.

By the way, I also bought today 4 packages of Kraft Cheese for 1.47 each. I used two $1/2 IP Qs which made them .97 each. This produced a $3 off your next order catalina when I checked out. The catalina can be used at H.T. or Publix. If you consider the catalina, I basically spent .22 for each package. This price is good until the end of today.
