Harris Teeter ~ Question: Has stock been better at your store this triples?

[shj1922]

My local HT is out of almost everything. They have not had the Bumble Bee tuna pouches for 3 weeks, and have slid the Starkist over infront of the tag. I wonder how many people are buying the Starkist thinking it's 3/$3. I don't think they are ordering it.
NO BC potatoes
No Heinz
and I seriously believe they pulled the Vivas! I went in early Wednesday and there were none, but there was a whole shelf on Tuesday night. There haven't been any all week and everyone I talk to in the store that coupons has said they haven't seen any either.
Just restocked the Franks today, and still have some flavors of the Jolly Time popcorn.

My stores have actually been worse on stock this time around than the last triples. They never restocked the Viva since the last triples, they are out of Starkist, Bumblebee, Carnation milk, Mt Olive relish, Welches juice, Muellers, the .99 flour and the .99 sugar. All these were out (or almost) when I shopped Wed morning at 9 AM and have not been restocked. I don't know about Heinz because we didn't get that coupon in this area and I have a cabinet full of Hunts ketchup anyway. I did manage to get one bag of flour the first day of the sale and have gotten a raincheck everyday since.

I think there are a ton of new couponers in this area. Last time I only saw one or two others with coupons the entire week. This week when I went on Thursday there were at least three other couponers in EVERY aisle and several were shopping in pairs where it was obvious that one was coaching the other what to buy. I'm happy to teach people about couponing, but I'm dumbfounded at SO many people deciding to learn all of a sudden. I do hope HT takes note of the increase in couponers and increases stock next time around.

Thanks for sharing! So, about evenly split, leaning slightly towards better. I hope this new thing works...I'm crossing my fingers!

They actually restocked my stores today (or last night)! Except for the Viva, I got almost everything that had been out all week today: Starkist tuna, Bumble bee, Muellers, even the Welches juice that I haven't been able to get ONCE during the past three triples.

Thursday was bad, so I went to a different town on Friday and found EVERYTHING was stocked. Went back to normal store today and they had restocked - including the tuna. The only items out today were the martha washington muffins and hungry jack syrup and they said they were getting a truck tonight.

Mine was hit hard sunday. I went later in the day and OH MY...I went again this morning and they had even less. They said they get a truck tonight though. I got RC and I will hold them no biggie. I really needed the Bakers Secret though.

What stinks about rainchecks is that the rainchecks won't be for triple coupons. :(

Yes, but rainchecks at HT never expire. As long as your coupons aren't expiring soon you can hold onto them for the next triples sale.

There were 2 stores here that I was shocked to see Heinz and everything else at last night. I had not planned to go to HT yesterday but as I was finishing my drug store runs, I decided to pop in. Am I ever glad I did! I got my Heinz (which I had resigned myself to not getting---felt like I had won the lottery!) and the Mazola spray. I will go again tomorrow and pray that they have the Jolly time popcorn.
