It's time for Round 2 of Super Doubles at Harris Teeter, thanks to a new set of coupons from the Sunday newspaper coupon inserts.

I discovered at least one freebie and seven items for 50 cents or less.

Here are the very best of the deals I spotted:

Free Bayer aspirin, free Suave shampoo, cheap toothpaste, cheap laundry detergent and dish liquid, 75-cent Pepsi 2-liters, 25-cent ears of corn and a fantastic deal on Coppertone sunscreen are among the headline bargains this week at the drugstores and Kroger.

Also worth noting: a free gas card promotion at CVS, a deal on camp physicals at CVS, and a new promotion at Kroger that takes $3 off your order instantly and gives you a $2 coupon to use on your next order.

And, of course, there's Round 2 at Harris Teeter Super Doubles, thanks to a new batch of coupons in Sunday's N&O. Be sure to read my separate post on HT's brand-new deals.

As I like to say, couponing is a team sport. So please post any deals you discover while shopping so we can all save more.

Here's a glimpse at my morning haul at Harris Teeter during the first day of its Super Doubles coupon event.

The cart was full and so was my wallet. I got change back from my dollar bill.

Here's the breakdown:

I purchased $91.98 worth of groceries and paid 90 cents. All of it was tax.

That figures out to be a 99.9 percent savings.

Even though I've been couponing for years, I'm still in awe of how much those little slips of paper can save a family.

That kind of savings never gets old.

My order included 20 "super doubled" coupons, plus an additional one for free ground beef when you purchase Wholly Guacamole and King's Hawaiian rolls. Luckily, the ground beef was on sale and I had coupons for both the guacamole and the rolls.

How exactly did I get my total that low?

I used high-value paper coupons, along with Harris Teeter's digital coupons, and focused primarily on BOGO sales. I also used two Catalina coupons for $2 off my order that I earned on previous purchases.

I got a mixture of staples, healthy foods, health and beauty items, and junk foods. I'll go back later in the week to do a full shop for my week's worth of groceries but I knew that if I didn't get my freebies and super cheap items on the first day they might be gone.

I've got my fingers crossed that Harris Teeter will keep the shelves stocked.

The penguin has been spotted.

I saw it for myself Monday evening in the dairy case at the Harris Teeter in Haddon Hall in Apex.

In case you haven't seen the Penguin display yet, here are the coupons being offered this time around:

Here's an updated list of good deals for the upcoming Super Double Coupon promotion at Harris Teeter, which starts Wednesday, June 20, and runs through June  26.

After doing a little price checking online and walking the aisles of my local Harris Teeter in Apex to verify sale dates, I discovered numerous good deals, including three moneymakers. You gotta love it when the store will pay you to carry groceries out of the store.

I've also added deals from the new sales circular. (My thanks to HotCouponWorld.com for posting the ad early.) And finally, I've also included numerous unadvertised deals.

Keep in mind my list is specifically tailored to Triangle shoppers, using Triangle store prices and coupons readily available here, either through newspaper inserts, magazines or Internet printing.

No sense getting frustrated looking for a deal we can't get here!

Now on to the deals:

Several of the national coupon forums, including AFullCup.com, are reporting that Super Doubles is a go for Harris Teeter, starting Wednesday, June 20.

The sites are also confirming that coupons up to and including $2 will double during the special promotion.

This is a huge deal in coupon circles. Up until now, Super Double events at both Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods have only included coupons with a face value up to $1.98.

It's not official, but avid couponers on the national couponing forums are posting that Harris Teeter will host a Super Double coupon event starting Wednesday, June 20.

And there's more.
