Weekly Roundup #12 - March 20-26

This week my shopping trips focused on the Harris Teeter "Triple Coupons" event and the continued Frozen Food Month promotion at Giant. I was able to "roll" my $10 frozen food catalinas at Giant into several deals producing more catalinas, then spent the last one on Gatorade for my husband - an item for which I rarely find coupons.

- Minute Maid Enhanced Juice

I purchased this Minute Maid Pomegranate Blueberry Juice on impulse at Harris Teeter, even though I didn't have a coupon for it, when I saw this "Love It Or It's Free" hangtag. The inside of the form says "Try 59 oz. Minute Maid Enhanced Juice or Enhanced Lemonade. If you don't love it, we will refund your purchase price. While I may like the juice, I don't like the price of $3.69!
