A Most Eventful Harris Teeter Triples Run

I was really excited to head over to Harris Teeter yesterday afternoon, since it seemed like a while since the last triple or super double coupon event.  I had prepped my coupons, my girls were fed and rested, and I was ready for some great deals.

Well, about midway through the shopping trip, I had let LuLu out of the cart, and she and GiGi were playing on the floor for a moment while I picked out some items.  A moment later, LuLu fell backwards and hit her head on the hard floor.  I picked her up and carried her to the next aisle, comforting her, but I wasn't overly concerned. 

Until . . . as we reach the next aisle, LuLu suddenly vomited - and vomited again - covering herself, me, and the floor.  Not my best grocery store moment.

To make a long story short, I called my pediatrician's office, who told me to head directly to the ER, since there was vomiting after a head injury.  Conveniently enough, my Harris Teeter is down the road from the local hospital with the pediatric ER!   Obviously, I had some panicked moments there, but thanks be to God, she was totally fine, and didn't even need a CAT scan.  She did not continue vomiting or crying - in fact, by the time the Harris Teeter worker was cleaning up after her she was smiling and waving to him!

So anyway . . .after we got out of the ER, went home, had dinner, and I bathed LuLu . . . I went back to Harris Teeter for my groceries!  I mean, hey, they might have been out of some items if I went back a different day.  You can't keep a true couponer down, right?

The manager had kindly kept them for me at the front desk, and even though there had been a shift change the items had not yet been put back.  I was able to finish my shopping, and I think I got some good deals.  I paid $25.48 for all this below, and my total before coupons and VIC savings was $110.03.  I used the lists at 30 Dollar Weekly Grocery Challenge and Southern Savers to put together most of my deals. 

I might even make another trip back before triple coupons ends, but hopefully my next trip won't be quite as exciting. ;-)
