Harris Teeter Triples 6-9

Nov-6-2008 By Ashley

Today was the first day of triples so I dropped the two oldest off at school and headed over there. I did pretty good today. I was able to get two shops in at my Rocky Mount store. I had a great day! There were not that many people there and the store was pretty well stocked. While I was there I ran into the wine man and, just like I do to all the vendors I see, I asked if he had any coupons. He said that he did and allowed me to go through his box!!! I RACKED UP!!! Be prepared as this is going to be LONG!In my first transaction I used several of my wine tags with my regular deals. I got the grocery bags free because they were .99 and I had a $1 off reusable grocery bag WT. I also found tearpads for $1 off any purchase of cheese, meats, seafood, ect. from deli. I used them on the roast beef and cheese.

Transaction #1
(1) sm Goldfish box – 1.09 (snack for DD)
(3) Curves bars – 8.97
(1) Betty Crocker Frosting – 1.89
(1) Hershey’s bar – .89
(2) Mac and Cheese crackers – 5.18
(2) Cokes – 2.78
(4) Carnation evap milk – 3.96
(4) Swanson broth canned chicken – 2.58
(2) Swanson broth canned beef – 1.29
(2) Swanson broth canned veggie – 1.29
(2) Swanson broth carton beef – 3.49
(2) Swanson broth carton chicken – 3.49

Subtotal before q’s – 73.75

Tax – 1.55
Total OOP – 27.25

In this transaction I am going to take the Excedrine PM back because it has 1.99 on the shelf tag but rang up at 4.69. This will reduce my OOP significantly! You will also think the NY Strip price is a mistype but it is not. They priced it wrong and I was able to take advantage of that! I also got the chicken free because (thanks to the wine man) I had q’s for $3 off my total food order and $2 off any chicken purchase.

Walmart is inviting customers to have fun while contributing to a more sustainable future with “Give Back with Barbie Cares”. On Saturday, November 8 from noon to 3pm Barbie lovers, Moms and daughters can bring in their Barbie dolls to be used in a pilot program exploring toy recyclability at participating toy departments. Mattel will donate a new doll to a local children’s hospital for every doll collected, up to 100,000 dolls!

There will be a pink recycle bin in the toy department and each girl who donates a doll will receive a free pink sustainable shopping bag from Mattel. Customers are also encouraged to bring your digital cameras to take a picture with Barbie and receive a coupon to print a free 4×6″ photo from the Kodak Picture Maker that same day! Other Barbie-themed give-aways will be on hand, while supplies last.

One thousand stores will host a live Barbie and 2,000 will have a standee.
View a list of participating stores HERE.

*Please Note: You can bring as many dolls to recycle as you want. They DO need to be Barbie or “Barbie-like” dolls (ie: brats dolls, princess dolls).

Original Picture

 

Picture using some of the effects from Picnik

This picture was taken by my mom when she went to the mountains last week to visit my aunt and uncle. How beautiful is this! I am going to have this printed and framed for my wall. Now if I can just talk her into going back after it snows and take more pics so I will have winter themed photos for my walls. :)

If you want to check out this awesome program go here:

This is completly free and you don’t have to download anything (accept the altered photo). All you do is upload your pic, make the changes you want to make and then save it to your computer. You never have to enter any of your personal information into their system. ENJOY!!!
