Triples Start Wednesday & Updated Coupon Policies

Shoppers,


With all of the shows airing on TV I thought I would re-post some coupon policies for some of our local stores.  Please keep in mind that you can get great deals WHEN you follow the rules, most stores have a limit of coupons that you can use per day, that will double in savings.....AFTER you reach that limit, your coupon will not double but will only be for the face value of the manufacturer's coupon.

Official announcement on triples at Harris Teeter can be found on their facebook fan page, I will post it below:

Get your coupon books ready, we’re offering TRIPLE COUPONS starting May 18!  What does this mean? We will triple all eligible coupons up to $0.99 in value.  Please remember your coupon etiquette; all standard coupon rules apply.
