So, I've been preparing for tomorrow for a week now. I've gathered my coupons, my mom's coupons she had laying around her house. However, I've run into a little problem. My mom's computer was mighty slow, so I wasn't able to print off a lot of the coupons I wanted. "No problem", I thought. "I'll just do it when I get home." Well, my printer is NOT WORKING!!! There is a good Bisquick coupon online right now and some good General Mills coupons online that would give me some cereal for FREE if I had them to use. I know some of you think I'm crazy, but you know how I love my coups.
I'll report my savings tomorrow. I plan to make at least 3 trips, due to HT's policy about only tripling only 20 coupons at a time. If you think I'm crazy, my friend has 6 trips planned. Boy, I hope I can sleep tonight. 
I've been hard at work all last night researching prices at Harris Teeter and planning out my course of action. The blog on my computer is a GREAT resource for coupon savings. If you get a chance to lurk it, check out her coupon book. My coupon book is the cute little blue number to the left. Isn't she pretty?
Why? WHY?!!! I'm about to take a hammer to my printer. Please excuse my cute get-up. I'm about to go do the treadmill.
Stay tuned!

Do you have a working fax machine for coupon delivery? Imagine you are planning an early start, so FedEx is out of the question. Call Caroline G and ask for a "home delivery"!
Maybe Harris Teeter should create a special parking spot for you -- Valued Repeat Customer with the Most Coupons...
Good post! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!
I hope your printer is healed quickly. Will you be posting pictures tomorrow?
Thanks for the tidbit!! I now know what I am doing tomorrow. What website can I go to, to get coupons? I just started this coupon thing so any more tips you can give will be much appreciated.
Donna you are so funny! Sorry about your printer. Why is is on your kitchen counter????? FUnny!
Nancy, LOL at your second sentence. Yes, I will post pics of my groceries if you will.
Amy, go to that coupon blog I talked about in the post. That should get you started.
Denise, I have the printer on my kitchen counter because it was easier to work at eye level with it. I went to Staples and got a new cartridge and we are back in business.
Bisquick Coupon, Check!
Cereal Coupons, Check!
Betty Crocker Brownies, Check.
Hilarious!!! I need to get better about coupons. Maybe you can teach a seminar...Proverbs 31 woman makes the most of her money. Sure have missed your blogging...glad you're back.
Donna, you have to post how much money you save! I'm a die hard coupon clipper, but I've never seen the likes of THIS before. They probably know you by name don't they? Isn't it the best feeling when you watch your $ total go down, down, down!!!
Darn, I am SO sad I will miss this event at HT! Tomorrow is our HUGE Kid Consignment sale at the fairgrounds, so all morning will be spent there...and then its time to pack for our trip. Pray for our 11hr trip to Indiana tomorrow night (with our 8mos old sweetie!)....Sunday will be even better for a 13hr drive back from Michigan...call me crazy! Can't wait to see your pics from HT!! Btw- You got me hooked on RedBox!
Oh Don Don. You are a piece 'o work. I am LOLing. 2 word...GROCERY GAME...and you don't have to do all of that work. She does it for you on your weekly list.
I just learned of a new site specific to Charlotte that I'm gonna post . It's so good that it tells you that they have Lucky Jeans at Costco for 40.00 AND lily Pulitzer dresses in Caroline's size too!
I could never understand that grocery game stuff. It was too confusing. That coupon blog is such a great help! It's kinda like the Grocery game, only you don't have to pay for it. Plus, she does Lowes, BiLo and HT, plus drug stores.
Can't wait to read your post, HPS.
Okay, I can't read HPS's blog, but what is the site specific to Charlotte? Is it charlottesmartypants.com? If it is, I concur. If it isn't, WHAT is it? Inquiring minds need to know.
I am going to get my coupons together and hit Harris Teeter up tomorrow. thanks for the heads up on the triple coupons!! You are a good money saving wife, Donna.
Donna - you've gotta step up the coupon organization. All the "cool" people now have binders :)! It's trendy, it's geeky, and it's addictive. I loooove my new binder, and I saved enough in my FIRST (of 4) trips today to more than pay for the upgrade! Don't you love triples??
Kristin, I know. I will admit while I was at Target two days ago, I looked at the binders after seeing Melissa and Nancy's. They were HUGE though. I like to be able to stick my organizer in my purse b/c you never know when you'll need a coupon. How big is yours?
