Regal and Cinemark Theaters - cheapo tickets this summer for kids! Here's the scoop:
Regal Cinemas, United Artists, and Edwards Theatres (though Regal is the only one I know of in this area - Arboretum and Stonecrest are participating) are offering select G and PG movies for only $1 of Tuesday and Wednesdays at 10:00 am this summer! Looks like it doesn't kick off until June 12th here in Charlotte, but check here for your city/start date! A portion of the proceeds will go to the Will Rogers Institute.
Cinemark Theaters is offering something similar as well! You can pay $1 at the box office, or if you purchase 10 show tickets in advance, you pay a total of $5 (only $.50 per movie)!!! There are no theaters here in Charlotte that are participating, but I know I have some readers from my home town of Monroe, LA - and the Cinemark theater there is participating! Click on this link to find out what is showing and when!

Thanks to Hip2save for the reminder about this wonderful summer program!!!

Harris Teeter Reminders

Just a little friendly reminder to get to Harris Teeter by 

May 22nd (Tuesday) to take advantage of Triple Coupons!!!

Also, starting today and running through Sunday, 

you get 20% off any mix and match case of wine 

AND 20% off specialty cheeses!

FWIW: My favorite new wine is Contempo Merlot! 

It's recently been reduced to $9.99/bottle (originally $15.99)

Buy 12 bottles @ $9.99 = $119.88

Get 20% off this weekend = $23.97 discount

Pay $95.91 for 12 bottles of wine that originally would have cost $191.88!!!

SavingStar Incentives

SavingStar (e-coupon service) is offering up 

two special incentives!

The first is for Huggies products! Here are the details: Now through June 13, 2012 get $5.00 back when you spend $35.00 on any HUGGIES® Diapers, Baby Wipes and LITTLE SWIMMERS® Swimpants. Offer does not include GOODNITES® Brand and PULL-UPS® Brand products.

You can pair this deal with the Huggies Promotion at Rite Aid next week for a pretty sweet deal! Rite Aid is offering $10 Up+ Reward on any $30 Huggies purchase. So, you could do the following:

Buy 3 packages of diapers @ $11 each (approximate cost)
Buy 1 package of wipes @ $2.99
Total: $35.99
Use three $1.50/1 Manufacturer Coupons  for diapers (they are floating around out there - might have to do some digging)
Use $.50/1 Manufacturer Coupon for Wipes
Pay $30.99
Get back $10 Up+ Rewards Cash
Get $5 deposited into SavingStar Account
Net Paid: $15.99 for 3 packages of diapers and 1 package of baby wipes!

The 2nd Promotion they're running is on Snyders of Hanover products! Now through the end of May 2012, get $5.00 when you spend $15.00 on any Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels. This offer expires on May 31, 2012.

Proportionally, this is a much better incentive! Although, the only coupon I could find to possibly pair with this deal, is on the Earth Fare website. If you go here and scroll down about 1/2 way - you'll see a Manufacturer Coupon for 75¢ off any Snyder's of Hanover 16 oz Pretzel or Tortilla Chip product. However, it also says in small print above the bar code "Redeemable only at Earth Fare stores". So this is a question I don't have the answer to at this point: If it is a MF Coupon, you should be able to use it anywhere. But since it says only redeemable at Earth Fare, that may nullify the before mentioned "rule". I would say that you could try to use it - and then be prepared to have it turned away - but I don't want to promote fraudulent use of coupons. So if anyone out there reading this (Hollie???) knows the answer, please help! If you can use the coupon - this would be a great week to use it at Harris Teeter with triple coupons! You could get the following deal:

Buy 6 bags of Snyder's of Hanover Pretzels or Chips @ $2.99 (estimate only) = $17.94
Use 6 75¢ MF Coupons (may have to print from several printers) - which will triple to $2.25 each = $13.50
Pay $4.44
Get $5 back in your SavingStar Account
Net Pay: $0 + 66¢ Money Maker!!!

**Make sure to have your Harris Teeter VIC number and your Rite Aid Wellness card number entered into your SavingStar Account - so it can track your purchases! If you're unfamiliar with SavingStar - click here to find out more!

Harris Teeter is at it again: TRIPLES!!!

Triple coupons start tomorrow at Harris Teeter! So gather up all of those $.75 - because they'll be worth $2.25 for the next week!!! If you're looking for a super easy to use list, check out www.southernsavers.com! She has three different lists put together for deal match-ups - so all the hard work is done for you! Have fun! 

*Remember, only coupons up to $.99 face value will be tripled!

Charmin and Bounty Deals at HT!!!

Woohoo! Harris Teeter has Bounty and Charmin on eVIC special this weekend (only Saturday for the Bounty)! Here's what you need to do:

Charmin 9 pack Mega Roll  - $7.77 each (normally around $12)

Load $1.00 eVIC coupon 

Use 25¢ Manufacturer Coupon (will double to 50¢) - from the 4/29 P&G

Pay $6.22 each

Note: Mega Rolls claim to be the equivalent to 4 regular rolls. That means that a 9 pack is the equivalent to 36 regular rolls, which means each roll is about 17¢. Most serious couponers stock up when they can get it for 25¢ or less per roll, so this is a fantastic deal! You can buy two packages at the discounted price!

Bounty 8 Giant Rolls - $8.77 (SATURDAY ONLY)

Load $1.00 eVIC coupon 

Use 25¢ Manufacturer Coupon (will double to 50¢) - from the 4/29 P&G

Pay $7.22 each

Note: 8 Giant Rolls are equivalent to 12 regular size rolls - which is like paying 60¢ per roll! Pretty good deal for Bounty! You can get 2 at the discounted price, but ONLY on Saturday.

Hoarding Note: I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do the Bounty Deal. I'll definitely do the Charmin because my supply is getting low (as in non-existent). But I have a 12 Giant Roll  Pack and 6 regular rolls of Bounty in my stockpile. By my calculations (and we use A LOT of paper towels) - I already have about a 1 year supply of Bounty . . . This is such a great deal, but considering I already have more than my 6 months worth of supplies that I shoot for, I should probably pass this one up!

One more deal you may be interested in:

Honey Nut Cheerios - $1.97 - buy 2

Use $1/2 Coupon (from coupons.com or Swagbucks)

Load 50¢ eVIC Coupon 

Pay $2.44 for 2 boxes or $1.22 each
