Attention coupon shoppers, it's time for Round 2!
Sunday's new coupons mean there are new deals to score in the last three days of Harris Teeter's Triple Coupon promotion.
That includes at least one new freebie and nine more items under $1.
Below are the matchups I found. Please add any you find!
Burger King wants you to try its new chicken strips so the fast-food chain is offering them up this weekend for $1.
The Crispy Chicken Strips are "lightly battered in seasoned home-style breading." A three-piece serving regularly sells for $2.99.
Saturday and Sunday only, customers may order the two-piece promotional serving for a buck.
Along with the new chicken, Burger King has got new dipping sauces -- Roasted Jalapeno Barbecue and Kung Pao sauces.
Just in time for hot weather, Starbucks is bringing back its "Frappuccino Happy Hour."
Starting Friday, May 4, through May 13, you can purchase one of the blended iced beverages for half price.
Happy hour lasts from 3 to 5 p.m. at particpating Starbucks.
And just so you know, Starbucks has added a new Frapppuccino -- the Mocha Cookie Crumble -- a blend of mocha sauce, frappuccino chips, coffee, milk and ice and topped with whipped cream and chocolate cookie crumbles.
Starbucks has got a new product and the company wants you to try it for free.
Starbucks Refreshers is a 12 oz. fruit-flavored canned beverage and there's a coupon for a free one in the Pepsi Moments to Save coupon insert inside most Sunday newspapers.
Walgreens has these on sale this week for $1.49 but most of the drugstores and groceries should stock them. The maximum value of the coupon is $2.39.
Kraft Foods is giving away coupons for free full-size packages of its new product, Fresh Take.
You must be a member of Kraft's First Taste program to take advantage of this freebie.
Fresh Take, by the way, is a cheese, spices and bread crumb mixture located in the dairy case.
If you're got growing kids and a shrinking budget, consignment sales are a great way to outfit your kids at a fraction of retail prices.
And right now is prime shopping season for spring consignment sales in the Triangle.
Most sales offer early shopping days for volunteers and sellers, and many offer discounts in the final days of the sale. I highly recommend clicking on the links to individual sales to get sale hours, directions and discount information.
Here are a few upcoming sales and their public sale dates:
I'm sure I'm not the only one who was hoping for three or four coupon inserts this Sunday to go with Harris Teeter's Super Doubles promo.
But even with just one new Red Plum insert today, there are a handful of coupon match-ups worth noting:
The News & Observer's coupon database has been updated with all of today's new coupons.
This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains one Red Plum insert with 40 coupons and a single coupon for South Beach Diet bars in the Parade magazine. The face value of the coupons is about $72.
That's before you double the first coupon, of course, which we have the opportunity to do every day of the week at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods -- not to mention Super Doubles at Harris Teeter, which is ongoing this week.
The News & Observer's coupon database has been updated with all of today's new coupons.
This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains two inserts -- one Smart Source and one Red Plum -- for a total of 100 coupons with a face value of about $132.
Starting this week, you can say goodbye to coupons and promotional blitzes at J.C.Penney.
As of Wednesday, Feb. 1, the department store chain has announced it's doing away with its endless barrage of sales and gimmicks in favor of lower prices across the board.
Interestingly, the chain is using social media and text messaging to promote the revamped strategy, even going so far as to poke fun at its former self:
"ON 2.1.12 THE MADNESS ENDS," its Facebook page declares.
The new strategy, which the company is calling "Fair and Square" pricing, comes after an apparently lackluster holiday season.
What does all this mean for you, the consumer, the next time you wander into a J.C. Penney during a shopping trip to the mall?
Starting Wednesday, shoppers will see:
