Updated 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Harris Teeter's Super Doubles coupon promotion starts Wednesday and runs through Feb. 21 with lots of potential for super good deals. In many cases, we're talking freebies and items for under $1.
I've compiled a comprehensive list specifically tailored to Triangle shoppers by walking the aisles of my local Harris Teeter in Apex to verify prices and sale dates.
If the deal is based on a regular-priced item, I've noted that on the list. If the deal is part of a sale that is continuing, I've indicated that information as well.
All of the coupons listed are among those we received here in the Triangle, along with readily available printables, magazine and tearpad coupons.

Harris Teeter is confirming that it will indeed host a Super Double coupon promotion, starting Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Harris Teeter's corporate Twitter account tweeted the news about an hour ago:
Need a little pick me up? SUPER DOUBLE COUPONS are BACK! From Feb. 15-21, we will double your coupons up to $1.98.
If you participated in Lowes Foods Super Doubles promo, which continues through Tuesday, you may be wondering if you'll have any coupons left for Round 2 of super couponing.
While it's inevitable to have some overlap, I'm confident the Harris Teeter promo will yield some new freebies and deals. So stay tuned.
I'll be scoping out my Harris Teeter for all the continuing sales so please check back later for the start of a good deals list.
The big grocery news this week, of course, is the surprise announcement by Lowes Foods that it would offer its first ever Super Doubles promotion. Click here to read and print my good deals list. There are lots of freebies and other good deals under $1.

Read on for the best deals that jumped out at me at Aldi, Food Lion, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods. (I've also added the Kroger deals from Sunday at the bottom of the post to make comparisons easier.) Please use the comments section below to post the deals you find so we can all save.
UPDATE: Many folks are reporting that Harris Teeter is restricting this program to customers who have not previously filled prescriptions at a HT pharmacy. This requirement is not spelled out on the punch card, which I gave to members of my coupon class. However, Harris Teeter does specify the requirement in this press release on the program.
Through April 3, you can qualify for a $20 electronic coupon each time you fill a new or transferred prescription at a Harris Teeter pharmacy. It's possible to earn up to 10 $20 credits for a total of $200 in free groceries.
The $20 coupon is loaded on to your cusotmer loyalty card and is deducted from your next purchase. Just a heads up: You can't stop the credit from coming off your order so be prepared to spend at least $20 once you fill a presciption.
