Today’s featured shopper is Kim. Kim awed me – really she just blew me away with her shop. I want a Harris Teeter too!

$.97 for all of this .. Yes, you read that right NINETY SEVEN CENTS!!

From Kim:

I did the following in 4 trips.  Harris Teeter will only let you double 20 coupons per day

My OOP was .97!!!!

I DID, however, use up a $3 RR – HT accepts competitor Qs as long as they aren’t for a specific product.  AND I used a $4/20 CVS Q from Recyclebank.

Total Retail Value (Before VIC card and coupons): $242.82

Also missing from the pic are 3 more jars of Prego, a box of crackers, another tub of butter, and some soft scrub.

Also not pictured (I made some for breakfast this morning) are 4 packages of full sized Pillsbury sweet rolls. hehe!  (They cost $1 of my $3 RR and gave back a $2 cat)

Ok admit it, you are just as impressed! Way to go Kim.
