It's another great weekend for coupons.

Look for four regular coupon inserts -- two Smart Source, one General Mills and one Red Plum -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

And be sure to check for two additional sets of coupons: one from Target and one from WalMart.

Altogether, there will be 242 coupons with a face value of about $324. But, of course, with Harris Teeter offering Super Double coupons right now, those coupons have the potential for additional savings.

As always, I'll have the coupon database updated and the best Sunday deals posted early tomorrow morning, about the same time your paper hits the driveway.

And, I'll have a separate list of new Super Doubles deals using the new coupons.

(Single-copy and State Edition newspapers may not contain all coupon inserts.)
 

The online coupon printing site, Coupons.com, has got a 50-cent off coupon right now for "All You" magazine.

That's 50 cents off a $2.50 magazine full of 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.

Here's a quick and easy way to score $4 in free groceries at Kroger.

Click here to access the digital coupon page at Kroger. Select at least one coupon and load it onto your loyalty card.

Next, you'll be prompted to send four emails to friends telling them about the promotion.

Once you do this, a $4 credit will be loaded onto your Kroger loyalty card. No strings attached.

Spend $4 on groceries and get them all free. Use coupons and bring home even more free groceries.

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.

Harris Teeter's Super Doubles promotion may be the big news this week in the world of coupons. But the other grocery stores have some can't-miss deals:

• great produce buys at Aldi, including 99-cent pineapples and 50-cent per pound pears.
• a new set of in-store coupons at Lowes Foods that yields 30-cent cereal and some extremely inexpensive snack foods.
• a coupon for $5 off a $30 grocery order at Food Lion.
• and a nice P&G promo at Kroger.
