The national coupon forums are buzzing with news of a Super Doubles coupon promotion at Harris Teeter, starting Wednesday, Feb. 20.
Several shoppers have reported seeing signs posted in their local Harris Teeter stores announcing the promotion.
I'm working on the start of a freebies and good deals list so stay tuned.
In the meantime, I recommend:
There are lots of great deals at Triangle grocery stores this week:
Among the best deals at Harris Teeter: free Chicken of the Sea tuna, free Old El Paso seasonings, 10-cent Liberte yogurt, 31-cent Pillsbury rolls, 49-cent Gorton's fish and Mrs. Butterworth's syrup for 89 cents.
Lowes Foods is offering a deal on discounted gift cards, a gasoline rewards promotion, and a 10 for $10 sale with coupon match-ups that drop prices on many items to 50 cents.
Food Lion has great deals this week on Gala apples, limes, Fresh Express or Dole bagged salad, Roma tomatoes and avocados.
At Aldi, the deals on fresh fruit are fantastic: pineapple and cantaloupe are 99 cents each, as are 16-oz. packages of strawberries, 6-oz. packages of blueberries and 2-lb. bags of lemons. If you've been on the fence about trying Aldi, this is the week to go.
Keep reading for a long list of this week's top deals at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion and Aldi -- with and without coupons.
Several retailers have deals this week on discounted gift cards -- a great way to score a triple play in the savings game.
Your initial savings is on the discounted gift card. Pay $40, for instance, on a $50 gift card, and you've already saved 20 percent.
Then, use that gift card to purchase items that are on sale -- your second layer of savings.
And finally, be sure to use coupons, and you've achieved a triple play in couponing.
In case you missed them, here's a round-up of the various discounted gift card deals available:
The drugstores have several good deals this week, including bargains on Charmin toilet paper, Coke, Planters and Hershey's products, Hall's and Ricola cough drops, John Frieda hair care and Dove and Degree products.
It's also a great week for freebies:
You can snag free Colgate toothpaste at both CVS and Rite Aid;
free Lindor Truffles, Zyrtec, Skintimate and Edge shave gel, Tresemme hair products and GE CFL light bulbs at Rite Aid;
and free Mitchum and Chlorospetic Spray at Walgreens.

Kroger has good deals this week on Cheerios and other General Mills cereals, Planter's Peanuts, split chicken breasts and Kroger frozen veggies.
Also take note of Kroger's Valentine Fuel Rewards offer: Buy any restaurant gift card and get four times the fuel rewards points. That means a $25 gift card will get you 100 fuel points, which translates to 10 cents off a gallon of gasoline at Kroger and Shell gas stations. The promotion runs through Feb. 16.

Look for two coupon inserts -- one hefty Smart Source and one Red Plum -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.
There will be a total of 129 coupons with a face value of more than $170 -- and that's before every-day double coupons, which we're fortunate to have at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.
I'll have the coupon database updated and the best Sunday deals posted early Sunday morning, about the same time your paper hits the driveway. That way, you'll have the most complete and up-to-date coupon information for the Triangle at your finger tips.
Please note: Single-copy and State Edition papers may not contain all coupon inserts.
Be on the lookout for your Kroger Plus Rewards in your mailbox this week -- the very last time the bonus will be awarded.
If you recall, Kroger decided late last year to cancel the program, which rewarded shoppers with points for their purchases. Shoppers were also rewarded for using reusable grocery bags.
The drugstores have several good deals this week, including bargains on toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, 2 liter sodas, Renu eye solution, Glad trash bags, M&M's and olive oil.
You can also snag a number of freebies, including Listerine, Keri Lotion, Stayfree pads and ThermaCare heat wraps.

Also take note of another Friday freebie available through Kroger's digital coupon page. This week's freebie -- available Feb. 8 -- is a 2 liter of Pepsi Next.
