If you've been wanting to sharpen your coupon skills, here's your chance to take a crash course.
Registration is now open for my next coupon workshop, a half-day class on Saturday, June 16.
You'll leave with all the information you need to start saving at least 50 percent on your weekly grocery bill, if not more. We'll also feed you breakfast and give you a nice goodie bag to take home with you.
Among the grocery store headlines this week: Cheap milk, a stock-up price on frozen veggies, a $1 sale and store-brand specials galore. There's even a chance to win a year's supply of FREE milk.
Keep reading for all the details and a roundup of the very best deals at each store. I've included Sunday's Kroger deals at the end of the list to making comparison shopping easier for you.
Happy bargain hunting! And if you find a deal while you're out and about, please share it in the comments section. That way, we can all save even more.
Update: Saturday's class is full. Watch the blog for an announcement on the date of my next class.
It's another great week for deals at the grocery stores with lots of BOGO deals at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods and a store-brand promotion at Food Lion that rewards you with a coupon for cash off your next grocery order. Harris Teeter also has a few Buy 2, Get 3 deals. And it's the second week of Lowes Foods' in-store coupon promotion with several nice deals on cereal and snack foods.
If that's not enough, Harris Teeter has got milk for $2.97 per gallon and Aldi is celebrating a new store opening in Durham with a coupon for $5 off your $30 order.
Read on for a store-by-store breakdown of all the best deals at the supermarkets this week:
Kmart is double coupons through Wednesday this week, giving you an extra opportunity to put your coupons to work.
You may use an UNLIMITED number of coupons at Kmart with a face value up to 99 cents.
That means a 75-cent coupon is worth $1.50 in savings. But a $1 coupon is worth just $1.
Here are just a couple of the deals that work nicely with double coupons:
The coupon database has been updated with all 69 coupons from today's Smart Source insert in The News & Observer.
Not familiar with the database? You can access it on the right-hand side of the blog. There's a button at the bottom right to view it as a full-size page.

Look for one coupon insert -- a Smart Source -- in Sunday's News & Observer.
There are 69 coupons total, worth approximately $105 in savings -- before doubling, of course, which you can do every day of the week at Lowes Foods, Harris Teeter and Kroger.
This Sunday's circulars are luring shoppers with holiday deals, including sales on everything from turkeys and stuffing to foil and scotch tape. Read on for the store-by-store breakdown of the best sales, taking special note of the $2.99 milk at Walgreens and the 49-cent-a-pound turkey at Kroger with a $25 additional purchase.
Each of the drugstores has at least one FREE item this week and since FREE is my favorite price I'll be store hopping to pick up a few of my favorites, including three FREE greetings cards at CVS, which is the second week in a row for this deal.
I'm also excited about the prospect of 25-cent Smucker's jam at CVS and cheap Folgers coffee and Triaminic medicines at Walgreens. You might also want to pick up $1 Jif at CVS and $1.50 Arm & Hammer laundry detergent at Rite Aid.
And finally, if you didn't get to Kroger last week, you have a second shot at getting some of the Mega Event deals, including 29-cent Del Monte vegetables. There's also a great buy on olive oil and nice prices on apples, pears, potatoes and Clementines.
This week's grocery deals are dominated by Super Doubles at Harris Teeter but there are still notable deals at the other supermarkets. You can pick up outstanding produce deals at Aldi as well as 89-cents-a-pound split chicken breasts and some super deals on holiday baking ingredients. Food Lion has nice produce deals, good buys on store-brand products and a $2.99 jug of Tide after coupon. Lowes Foods has a little bit of everything: good prices on baking supplies, a cereal deal and a great deal on PET ice cream. And Harris Teeter has a couple nice deals on top of Super Doubles.
