Does Harris Teeter issue rainchecks?
Yes. The best part about HT's rainchecks? They do not expire! And you can use them at any Harris Teeter.
Is there a limit to the number of items a raincheck is for?
Yes. There is a 3 quantity limit (or 6 for BOGO items). However, HT will exceed this limit if the sale advertises 5 for $5 or 10 for $10; in these cases you can get up to 5 or 10 items, just point out the wording of the ad to the customer service rep.
What type of coupons does Harris Teeter accept?
HT accepts manufacturer’s coupons, winetags, catalina's, internet printables, blinkies, as well as competitors coupons $/$ coupons. Please note HT changed their coupon policy and will no longer take Target and Food Lion internet printables or competitor's store coupons for $ off a specific items.
Does Harris Teeter double coupons?
Yes! HT will double up to a face value of $.99 everyday. That means a .50 coupon is worth $1, a .75 coupon is worth $1.50. They changed their policy and now say they will double/triple internet printables.
What about the coupons that say “DO NOT DOUBLE” at the top?
Generally coupons that start with “5” (look at the numbers by the barcode) will automatically double and coupons that start with “9” will not.
Are there other rules/restrictions for doubling?
1) They will double up to three identical items with manufacturer coupon; additional coupons for like item will be honored at face value. This is an important distinction. Many times the cashiers and supervisors are unaware of this distinction & lets say you have 5 $.75 coupons, will say they can only accept 3 of them. If this happens, tell them they need to reread their policy; that their policy is they will only double 3 like coupons, the other 2 will scan at .75.
2) They will only double 20 coupons per day per household with your Vic card. After 20 coupons, the register will automatically stop doubling. Your best bet is to hand over your .99 or less qs first to make sure they double, then $1 and up or FREEs.
3) No expired coupons.
4) No internet printables for "FREE" items. Limit of 2 IP's per product, per store visit, per day. They will not accept IP’s that do not appear to be originals or do not scan. The 2 IP rule is often misread by shoppers and cashiers alike as only 2 IPs per trip. This is not so, it is 2 per manufactuer. So if you buy 2 Kellogg's items, you can use 2 IPs, 2 P&G products you can use 2 IPs, and so on.
5) They accept only ONE coupon for Buy One Get One Free items
6) According to Harris Teeter's written policy, you can only double 20 coupons per day per household. So NO multiple trips during triples.

From time to time Harris Teeter will run a catalina promotion. A catalina is a coupon that prints out at the registers and is good on your next order. These deals can be combined with coupons to make them an even better deal.

Triples FAQ
Does Harris Teeter have Triples?
YES! It varies by region but it seems Harris Teeter has been running triples about every 2 months or so. They usually start at 7 am on a Thursday and end at midnight on Saturday or Sunday. Please note 24 hour stores DO NOT start tripling after midnight.
Can I get overage at Harris Teeter?
HT recently changed their computers and we are no longer getting overage.
How many trips can I make a day?
The stated policy is limit of 20 coupons per day per household. If your store allows you to do something else, please do not POST about it on HCW. All post will be deleted and a warning or infraction given.
What are the coupon limits?
They are the same as regular doubles.
Can I use rainchecks during triples?
Yes, you can. This is one of my favorite money saving strategies - I always ask for a raincheck if one flavor/kind, etc is out and save them for triples. Also, if an item is out of stock during triples, you can get a raincheck for the sale price, but you can’t get a raincheck for the triple coupon part of it.
My coupon says “Do Not Double.” Will it triple?
At Harris Teeter if the barcode starts with the "5" it will triple. If it starts with a "9" it will not.
Do they restock product?
Yes. Harris Teeter restocks their product through out triples. If your store is out of the product ask them to check in the back or ask when their next truck comes in and what time they restock.
