If you've exhausted your supply of coupons during Super Doubles this week, the new batch in today's N&O provides several more opportunities to snare some bargains, including three freebies and 13 items under $1!
The best freebie: a reissue of the Smart Balance milk coupon that expired on Wednesday, which means another opportunity to score more FREE milk today through Tuesday.
Here are all the deals I found with today's new coupons:
SavingStar, the digital coupons savings site, has some new coupons up today, including one that makes it possible to score a "Super Triples" deal at Harris Teeter.
Here's how:
This week, during Harris Teeter's Super Doubles promotion, Special K cereal is on sale for $2.50 per box.
There is a paper coupon from last week's newspaper for $1/3, which will double, giving you $2 off three boxes of Special K.
To get an additional $1 off, go to SavingStar and select the $1/3 coupon on Kellogg's cereals and it will be loaded onto your grocery loyalty cards, including your Harris Teeter VIC card.
When you go to Harris Teeter, be sure to swipe your VIC card and use your paper coupon, scoring yourself a "Super Triples" deal. (The Super Doubles promo runs through Tuesday, Jan. 10.)
While the $1 SavingStar coupon won't come off at the register, it will be saved in a virtual piggy bank on the SavingStar site. Each time you save $5, SavingStar will deposit money into your bank account or send you a $5 Amazon gift card.
If you're not familiar with SavingStar, click here to read the post I wrote about it when the program began last summer.
When you scan your loyalty card at the coupon kiosk at Food Lion this week, you'll receive a coupon for $5 off your grocery order when you spend $30 or more.
It's a nice way to boost your savings at Food Lion, particularly since it doesn't double coupons.
Or, you can print the coupon and take it to Harris Teeter or Lowes Foods and use it there as a competitor's coupon.
I left Harris Teeter pretty happy today, saving more than 99 percent thanks to Super Doubles.
I bought $62.35 worth of groceries and paid 24 cents, plus $1.41 in tax.
Here's a breakdown of how I worked my deal:
I bought 19 items, using 18 paper coupons, four digital coupons and two "Register Rewards" that I had left over from a deal at Walgreens. (Harris Teeter accepts these as a competitor's coupons and they work like cash.)
Of the 18 paper coupons, all but five came from the newspaper. The Muir Glen and Post cereal coupons were printables; the Muellers came from the manufacturer.
Eleven of the items I "bought" were completely free: the Smart Balance milk, the Bayer aspirin, the Tampax, the Oral B floss, the Muir Glen tomato paste and the Mueller's pasta.
The four digital coupons alone saved me and additional $6.50 -- not bad for a couple of mouse clicks.
If you haven't signed up for Harris Teeter's digital coupons, you really should because in many cases the digital coupons will double, triple or even quadruple your savings. Click here to read more about HT's digital "e-vic" coupons, which is part of the store's online loyalty program.
And finally, one of the items I purchased -- the Truvia -- also earned me 75 cents by way of my SavingStar account. Not familiar with SavingStar? It's another form of digital couponing but instead of immediately subtracting the savings from your grocery order it tallies them in a virtual piggy bank. When you save $5 you can cash out.
If you take my SavingStar earning into account, Harris Teeter actually paid me to shop.

Check back later today for my good deals list, using the coupons we have available here in the Triangle.
Speculation is mounting on the national coupon forums that Harris Teeter will likely hold a Super Doubles promotion starting Wednesday, Jan. 4.
No one has yet to see the Jan. 4 circular, but Harris Teeter has kicked off each of the last three years with either a Triples or Super Doubles event. In fact, since 2009, the store has rarely strayed from its monthly schedule of special couponing events.
Lots of party foods are on sale this week at the grocery stores in anticipation of New Year's Eve gatherings, along with pork, corn bread and collard greens for New Year's Day.
My two favorite deals this week: FREE Mueller's 100% Whole Grain pasta at Harris Teeter and $2.97 per gallon milk at Kroger.
Otherwise it's a light week for deals but I have a feeling the deals might improve when a whole new set of coupons is released Sunday.
