Harris Teeter: Any idea/word on when the next triples or Super Doubles will be?

[kidsrn]

I realize that it has been dicey lately with confirmation of Super Doubles and then no Super Doubles, but I am trying to do some long term planning and wondered when the next coupon event might be. Anyone have any idea? Sure appreciate any info you can share.

Thanks,

Linda

Per Aidensmommy on AFC, she has this week's ad and there is no SD or triples this week. So it won't be this week.

Unfortunately, it seems HT has done a very good job of proving all 'advance' info we thought we had to be wrong. I don't think it's possible under the current circumstances to guess when they might do it again.

It would be nice to know when the superdoubles/triples were going to happen. I agree it would make it easier for planning. I might not stock as much for the unknown in-between times.

Lately one HT store I go to seems to be too stressed with over the sales. Some of the part time (teenage) staff are a derogatory about coupons, being real protective, going out of their way to search for any deviations. I guess it is there attitude, it makes one feel like we are being scrutinized every time coupons are shown. One young part timer said that management said they are losing money on the triples/superdoubles. He made me feel like I was stealing from the store! I hope new management is not influencing them the wrong way in taking care of their customers.

On the other hand the staff and checkers that are long timers (usually older) (buying their own grocery's and paying their own bills) are helpful. They go by the rules which we expect but their attitude is one of helpful, cheerful, actually glad that you found a great buy. They make one feel welcomed and say hello to the regulars. This goes a long ways in what store gets my non coupon money.

I did see her post there. I found it interesting that in her opinion the ad was missing 2 pages. Also noticed a lot of HT brand items on sale which normally happens on a coupon event.

This is really interesting because at my HT I find the young guys (early 20's) the most coupon friendly and make the most comments about how much I saved, how much I got, the coupon binder organization, etc. There are 2 I try to beeline for. The older cashiers seem annoyed with me that I get better deals than they do. But overall the CS at my store is really good but they never give any hints about anything coming up.

I really hope for a super doubles sometime before the end of October. I have some Qs for $1 off ONE bag of candy (most candy Qs require more than one bag purchased) that would be great to double. My HT is near a Kroger, and the Kroger matches HT (Kroger is often a better deal). I have come across SO many coupons and catalinas lately for $1 or $1.50, and I think "remember that for super doubles".

I was told this week by our manager friend that they will be cycling in the weeks upto christmas, probably every 2 weeks however for now they are keeping hush on when next one will be.

Apparently too many people are planning for it, and then taking advantage (e.g using too many coupons per day) so the stores are taking a little break.

The wilson, nc store which is my local is always full of us couponers, and the manager said they are getting calls every day from people asking when next one will be. They don't want people to be able to plan for it so they are trying to mix it up he said.

Wouldn't it be hilarious (not sure it that is the right word) if we woke up tomorrow and it was SD or Triples! I would really have to hand it to HT for successfully keeping the lid on it.
.....My guess is Oct. 28 - Nov. 3 though.

I think you are right on the dates. I'm getting ready hoping for some different stuff on sale. I don't need any more biscuits, brownie mix, chex mix, fruit snacks or pizza rolls! Still cleaning it out from last triples.
