Can someone in Charlotte area confirm this?

Can anyone in the Charlotte area confirm this for me, and which stores?
I talked to my local Bi-Lo manager about triples, and she said that the Charlotte market was doing a "test", to determine if Bi-Lo would start doing triples ALL THE TIME - she did say also that if they decided to do this, they would drop from doubling up to 99¢ to tripling up to 50¢ or 60¢. I'm in the Western part of NC, so they are not doing that here. Can someone please verify this for me?
Obviously, it would be wonderful if a chain started tripling all the time....

I can't verify it but that would be AWESOME!!!

Probably not gonna happen though. It sounds too good to be true!

[uummm]

They DID A test last late spring, it was Triples for a full week in the Charlotte market....hhhuummm, I am not sure if that would be good or not. I would think it is hard to compete with 2 other stores that do doubles to $.99....But then again, I was in a BiLo yesterday that is LITERALLY across the street from Food Lion and the Food Lion was just as busy as the BiLo, but then I have to remember that the majority of people are not couponers like the majority of us here are.

Opposite of that, I was in a BiLo that was literally across the street from HT during triples and Bilo was like a ghost town. The HT was rockin!

It looks like HT and Lowes are going to continue to triple every few weeks, either one or the other. And Bloom's once a month.
Bi-Lo main offices are near Greenville SC and the stores down there only get to double up to 50 or 60 cents, whereas around here up to .99.
.99 is very close to being .75 since I can not think of many coupons .76 - .99, so tripling .50-.60 would be ok to supplement the other stores that triple up to .99. I'd rather see Bi-Lo triple up to .99 once every couple months since we get alot of .75 coupons.
Between all the stores that are tripling, if Bi-Lo joined in every few weeks I'd get enough use from all my coupons. I guess we all have a limit of how many coupons we get, how much our freezers will hold, etc.
I suggested to a Lowes clerk that they should triple all the time and I think after a week or two, the hoopla would die down, and traffic flow in the store would get back to normal. We would not need to run to Lowes, this weekend Jan. 16-18 to use our coupons before they expire Jan 31st, etc. We could go any day and any time and the triples would be there.
Darn it, I wish Food Lion would double .50. They have some pretty good deals.

My bilo doubles up to .60 and NEVER triples. I did ask the manager about this at my store in WNC and he said that he had heard something about a trial triples but wasnt sure about details.

ok, ours doubles up to .99 and used to have triples every few months but they have not tripled in 2+ years.

Mine (in Lake Wylie, SC) has always doubled up to .99 but yesterday I used a coupon for .80 and it was entered as .80 and .20 so apparently the rule has changed. I emailed corporate to inquire but no response yet. I will be taking my business to Harris Teeter if Bi-Lo is going to only double up to $1.

they do not give overage. Your item must have been for sale for $1.00........well, no, if it was a $1 item the coupon should have been .99 and then .01 since the coupon doubled can not exceed the price of the item.

[llthrel]

I shop in Lake Wylie too. Mine have always doubled up to .99! Was the item only $1.00? That has me curious. I hope they arent starting that. That is one store I usually dont have any trouble at.
