Updated again Tuesday evening with unadvertised deals.

Here's an updated list of freebies and good deals for the upcoming Triple Coupon promotion at Harris Teeter, which starts Wednesday, May 16 and runs through May 22.

After doing a little price checking online and walking the aisles of my local Harris Teeter in Apex to verify sale dates, I discovered lots of sales that continue from last week. I've also added deals from the new sales circular. (My thanks to HotCouponWorld.com for posting the ad early.)

In this most recent update, I've also added numerous unadvertised deals.

All in all, it's shaping up to be a pretty generous promotion with plenty of freebies and items for under $1.

Keep in mind my list is specifically tailored to Triangle shoppers, using Triangle store prices and coupons readily available here, either through newspaper inserts, magazines or Internet printing. No sense getting frustrated looking for a deal we can't get here.

It looks like Harris Teeter may be having a Triple Coupon promotion starting next Wednesday, May 16.

That's what the latest buzz is on the national coupon forums.

Centsible Saver has got five cups to give away to blog readers. Leave me a comment or question at the end of this post and you'll be entered to win. I'll pick five winners on Wednesday, May 9.

------------------

Remember last year's buzz over the refillable cups at Kangaroo Express that gave you free soda and slushie refills all summer long?

As you may recall, the cups sold out so quickly at $6.99 each that they soon showed up on craigslist for as much as 40 bucks a pop.

Well, the "Roo Cups" are back for a second season.

It's time for Round 2:

With Super Double coupon promotions on-going at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods, there are a several new deals to be snagged, thanks to Sunday's coupons.

Here are the highlights:

Big news in the coupon world: Both Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods will be launching Super Double coupon events this week starting Wednesday.

Food Lion kicks off a two-week-long double-coupon event at 7 a.m. Wednesday, March 7 -- the very first time the chain has offered to double the value of coupons in the Triangle.

To give you a head start on your savings, I've compiled a list of good deals based on regular prices. And I've added a few more with confirmed new sale prices, thanks to the good folks over at AFullCup.com where the ad is posted.

I walked the aisles of the Food Lion on Williams Street in Apex, matching those prices to current manufacturer coupons we've received here in the Triangle, along with readily available printable coupons to come up with the list.

In some instances, I've noted potential deals on items that are currently on sale. Unfortunately, Food Lion's shelf tags don't indicate if a sale is continuing so some of the deals won't be certain until Wednesday morning.

I'll add more deals as I spot them. And please feel free to add any deals that you've discovered so we can all save even more.

I've included a list of Food Lion's double coupon guidelines at the very bottom of the post.

One last thing: Remember, this is Food Lion's first experience with doubling coupons in our area so be patient with your cashiers and managers.

Now on to the deals:

As I reported here Friday evening, Food Lion will offer a double coupon promotion in the Triangle and Fayetteville.

The promotion will start Wednesday and will last for two weeks.

Here are the details on how the promotion will work and a list of stores, according to company spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown:

Starting Wednesday, Food Lion will offer a double-coupon promotion in Triangle and Fayetteville-area stores, a company spokeswoman said Friday.

This is the first time the Salisbury-based grocery chain will offer double coupons in the highly competitive Triangle grocery market, though it has tested the promotion in other areas, according to Food Lion spokeswoman Christy Phillips-Brown.

"Raleigh and Fayetteville are very important markets to us," Phillips-Brown said. "We're pleased to bring this new promotion to our customers."

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:

I made a quick trip to my Harris Teeter in Apex this afternoon to take advantage of its Super Doubles promotion. Here's how I did:

I bought $102.31 worth of groceries.

After coupons: I paid $12.39. That's an 89 percent savings.

I love to show folks how I did at a special couponing event like Super Doubles, not to brag, but to illustrate the power of coupons to save money.

Here's a breakdown of how the savings added up:
