  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

My 1st Triple Coupons Trip!!!

Published by couponanimal under Uncategorized Edit This

I went to Harris Teeter for the 1st time yesterday and I must say WOW! High prices! So I chose items very carefully. They are having a triple coupon event up to .99 until Sunday…but even with triple coupons I could purchase a lot of items cheaper elsewhere. I ended up in the manager’s line and when he saw my total he said, “You’re gonna have to teach me how to shop!”
(1) Success Rice 3.59 - 1.09sale -.50 q tripled = 1.00
(1) Baker’s Joy 2.99- .75 q tripled = .74
(1) Poptarts 2.39 - .55 q tripled = .74
(2) Zatarains rice 3.18 - (2) .50 qs tripled = .18
(1) Texas Pete Wing Sauce 2.79 - .79sale - .40 q tripled = .80
(1) Pounce Cat Treat 2.49 - .75 q tripled = .24
(2) Argo Corn Starch 3.18 -(2).55q tripled = 0.00 (Do not allow overage but free)
(2) New York Texas Garlic Toast 6.58 - (2).50 q tripled = 3.58
(2) Hormel Pepperoni 4.58 - .50q tripled = 3.08
(2) SteakUmms 11.98 - 5.99sale B1G1F = 5.99
Total including tax: 16.62; Savings: 27.40
*I was going to purchase some Pepsi 12 pk cans that were on sale for B1G1Free….until I saw the price. $5.99!!! They still would have been $3 a piece!

I promise to start posting pictures once things calm down and I have more time.
