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:

Through March 2, Great Clips hair salons are offering a deal on haircuts.

At participating salons throughout the Triangle, all haircuts are $5.99 -- no coupon clipping required.

Whole Foods has got an outstanding sale this Friday on organic whole chickens: $1.99 per pound.

The one-day-only sale is on fresh certified organic whole chickens.

Limit 10 chickens per customer.

It's not very often that you can use the words organic and cheap in the same sentence but check out this deal:

Today only, Feb. 3, Whole Foods is selling organic navel oranges for 79 cents per pound.

Considering that 99 cents per pound is a good deal on most regular produce, 79 cents per pound is a super cheap price for organic oranges.

These won't last long.

Salmon lovers take note: Whole Foods is having one of its one-day-only sales on its Alaskan Sockeye salmon.

Starting today, Dec. 26, Whole Foods is offering its wine for 20 percent off when you buy a case.

Think New Year's Eve. Or special occasions throughout 2012. You can select different bottles to make a case.

If you're a wine drinker, this is a pretty nice discount.

Sale ends Sunday, Jan. 1.

Whole Foods Markets in Raleigh, North Raleigh and Chapel Hill are offering a one-day sale on shrimp today, Dec. 16.

Wild-caught Georgia shrimp are $5.99 per pound, which is a $5 savings on the usual price.

The deal is good while supplies last. No rainchecks will be issued.

After 25 years in business, a women's consignment shop is celebrating by giving customers  a 25 percent discount on everything in its Raleigh store.

Easy Elegance, which is located at 608 W. Peace St. in Glenwood South, is offering the deal through the end of the month.

Don't forget that Wake County and Raleigh Recycling will be sponsoring a one-day compost bin sale this Saturday, May 7, in honor of Compost Awareness Week.

Raleigh Recycling and Wake County are sponsoring a one-day compost bin sale on May 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
