Big news in the coupon world: Both Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods will be launching Super Double coupon events this week starting Wednesday.
The folks at Lowes Foods, who offered its first-ever Super Doubles last month, say they will offer the special coupon promotion again.
"We will do it in the future but I don't have any specifics," said Lisa Selip, a spokeswoman for the Winston Salem-based Lowes Foods.
"Obviously, it drove traffic to the stores and customer response was very positive," Selip said.
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:

Harris Teeter's Super Doubles coupon promotion starts Wednesday and runs through Feb. 21 with lots of potential for super good deals. In many cases, we're talking freebies and items for under $1.
I've compiled a comprehensive list specifically tailored to Triangle shoppers by walking the aisles of my local Harris Teeter in Apex to verify prices and sale dates.
If the deal is based on a regular-priced item, I've noted that on the list. If the deal is part of a sale that is continuing, I've indicated that information as well.
All of the coupons listed are among those we received here in the Triangle, along with readily available printables, magazine and tearpad coupons.

Harris Teeter is confirming that it will indeed host a Super Double coupon promotion, starting Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Harris Teeter's corporate Twitter account tweeted the news about an hour ago:
Need a little pick me up? SUPER DOUBLE COUPONS are BACK! From Feb. 15-21, we will double your coupons up to $1.98.
If you participated in Lowes Foods Super Doubles promo, which continues through Tuesday, you may be wondering if you'll have any coupons left for Round 2 of super couponing.
While it's inevitable to have some overlap, I'm confident the Harris Teeter promo will yield some new freebies and deals. So stay tuned.
I'll be scoping out my Harris Teeter for all the continuing sales so please check back later for the start of a good deals list.
Today's two new coupon inserts equal a whole new set of potential deals at Lowes Foods inaugural Super Double coupon promotion.
I did a quick check of the coupons and matched them up with prices on Lowes Foods to Go, the chain's online shopping site.
Here are the very best deals I spotted. Please chime in with any bargains you find!
