Super Doubles Madness: 2/17/10

Harris Teeter is having Super Doubles again! Be still my cheap and beating heart.

(I love how I managed to immortalize the cat and Jeopardy!, but didn’t remember to turn the ice cream toward the front. Clearly I am not a professional grocery photographer.)

I did well! The cashier even said he was going to tell his fiancee about how much I saved, so maybe they could start clipping coupons too. The fever spreads!

• Whiskas cat treats, two bags, regular $1.99 each, sale two for $3, minus doubled coupon for $1 off two = $1, or 50 cents each
• Baked Tostitos, regular $3.79, sale $3.50, minus doubled coupon for 55 cents off = $2.40

• Dole mandarin oranges, regular $1.55, sale 67 cents
• Ortega refried beans, three cans, regular $1.29 each, sale $1 each (there was a mix-up with these at the checkout, and at one point the cashier sent me back to get another can — I originally only wanted two. I had a coupon that was supposed to make these two for 50 cents, but I ended up with three for $3; the cashier was super-nice, however, so really it is all a wash)
