The only thing I would wanna get is the milk. But im not even sure that I would get to harris teeter. I have to look and see if I have any other coupons worthy of a trip! The milk would be the only important thing to me. But hubbys due back from iraq literally any day now so well if i amiss a super doubles! This will be a first if I miss super doubles!

I have to leave my house at 7:15 to drop kids off at school get back home at 8:00, have to leave the house by 8:30 at the latest to be in Lincolnton at 9:00 for Jury duty....I am not sure I can make it in the morning...not sure if it is even worth it when I can make it afterwards. There is a HT in Lincolnton, but that store is NOT friendly and I don't need to deal with that with the mood I have been in lately.

I probably won't be going until later in the week so then it is a matter of just getting what they have in stock, though I don't see a whole lot that I want....

Great I just found out I have to be there at 8:30am...now I really can't shop tomorrow morning even if I needed too!

Jury duty the week of SD? How could they?
You should have tried to get out of it based on the hardship of shopping later in the day...

I hope it goes well for you and you don't have to serve. I got very lucky when I went-I was picked for a murder trial but I got kicked off by the defense attorney.

i pull the "good deals" and put them in the front of my binder and go from there. usually I hit my 20 each day. not too worried if something is out on the first day - I usually find it by the 4th day restocked. I just grab my MP3 player and have fun shopping!

(MP3 player also keeps people from wanting to tell you all about extreme couponing show and wanting couponing lessons in the aisle . . because obviously I have all the time in the world since I had time to cut all those coupons and file them )

So if you see a lady dancing down the aisle in WS, say "hi" to me - and yes, I DO answer to Mystic Wench!

Hahahahah...I did this the last time I went to HT here in Burlington. I had my stepson with me and while he's an incredibly sweet and patient boy, he had to try REALLY hard not to roll his eyes while I was explaining to a newbie couponer that the EL everyone refers to is online, not where the sign in the store is. I'm sure I embarrassed him pretty good. Ahhh, teenagers.

Um, so yeah...I'm some sort of weird, anal retentive control freak. While I downright refuse to carry a binder (put me in with the ziploc baggie crew), I do have a spreadsheet that I print out before I go. It has all of my matchups on it, including EL / evic price, my coupon value, ZVRs, quantity I'm going to buy, total OOP, and price per item after all of my savings / q's are applied.

Go ahead, laugh - I know it's totally obsessive-compulsive so it won't hurt my feelings if you giggle.

I'm right there with you. No laughing here.

There are times when I know I am going overboard and need not be quite so anal . . . but I can't help it!!




I make my list -- in geographical order -- and have a few backup items listed on the bottom, should some deal or another not work or they are out of something, etc. And then I stress that I do not have enough backup items, because, gawd-forbid I wing it!

I plan on using some rainchecks. :)
I'd like to use my $5 Stouffer's Lasagna with $1/1 Q, my 2/$4 Philly Cooking Creme with 1/1 Q, my B1G1 6-pack Sunmaid Raisins with $1/2 Q, Jello 2/$4 with $1/1 and 50¢/1 Qs ... that's all I can think of right now. :)
