For the first time since my Harris Teeter closed, I had fun shopping today.
And I had a LOT of fun!
I spent around $28, and saved over $57!!
I was able to get hot dogs, buns, and a few salad items for our VBS this weekend included in that total. I already have some salad items on hand, so it is perfect. I was thinking that I would have to go to Sam’s Club to get some things in bulk, but I saved the trip and think I still saved good money.
The main item that isn’t included in the full BI-LO matchups was the K.C. Masterpiece.
K.C. Masterpiece Sauce BOGO
$.75/1 KC Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce or Marinade, exp. 8/26/12 (SS 06/24/12 R)
Free after coupon
That will go with me to my mama’s house in WV soon, along with one of the Hellmann’s Mayos. (We use the Sweet Baby Ray’s, because hubby likes it and it is gluten-free.)
Keep in mind that my store doubles coupons up to $.99 at this time, so that saves me a ton.
Oh, and BI-LO accepts competitor coupons, so I was able to use a $3.00 off a grocery order Target coupon I had!
I am going to *try* to do full matchups for BI-LO at least for the summer. I am only 10-15 minutes from the store, so this may be one of my new grocery stores. Want to learn more about saving at the grocery store? Check out my Savings Nation classes!

I had a Bi-Lo 5 minutes away from me when we lived in Statesville. I loved it! Good sales, and double coupons…clean store and helpful employees.
I am liking the store so far! We will see. :)
I love Bi-Lo they have really great deals! And they even have online coupons that you can stack. It’s just hard to do matchups b/c you can’t shop online like HT :(
exactly! hopefully they will have the prices online soon…Thankfully we have some smart people that do great match-ups…where would we be without them??
I will hopefully be providing the advertised deals at least through the summer, and maybe beyond. Perhaps that will help!
Does anyone know what the bilo in morganton doubles up to?
I am not sure, but a quick call to customer service might be able to answer this!
I visit Bi-lo weekly now since our Lowe’s Foods left. I’m thankful they double coupons in Charlotte! I loved Lowes because they had big, bright aisles and friendly staff, but Bi Lo is less expensive in my opinion.
I am thinking I am their newest shopper. :)
I love my Bi-lo. It is my favorite store. Good prices, helpful employees, no problem getting rainchecks on items.
I think I might love it too!
I would be very interested in your match ups for Bi-Lo. I used to be a Harris Teeter shopper, but since they moved out of town, I need to find a new store. It seems we have a Bi-Lo on every corner, so I could use your help! Thanks for all you do to help us save!
Here are this week’s! http://www.mycouponteacher.com/2012/06/bi-lo-coupon-matchups-62712/
You are very welcome!
I love Bi-Lo. Ours doubles coupons up to $0.99 too. But I enjoy racking up the fuel perks because gas here in Charlotte can get pretty expensive.
Hopefully my matchups can help you with that! I am still trying to get used to the stacking rules.
Before Harris Teeter left our area I was a loyal shopper there but also shopped at least once a week at Bi-Lo as it is/was nearby. They have some great sales and I love that I can stack the e-coupons with manuf. coupons.
My store doubles up to 99 cents. For a while they were good about doubling the “Do Not Double” coupons (the ones that started with a “5″) but now they don’t. HT was the same way, so I guess I expected that.
My HT is now Lowe’s Foods, but I find Bi-Lo saves me tons more money and if I do go to Lowe’s it’s only occasionally and for maybe 2-3 items and that’s it. They are too expensive and don’t have all the great benefits that HT had, so I’m a loyal Bi-Lo shopper now.
Glad to hear someone is thinking like me!
