Harris Teeter Shopping Trip 1/26

I decided to go to Harris Teeter when I saw the special on milk in my evic e-mail.  We were totally out of milk and I really want to get the split chicken breasts for $0.99 per pound.  I just didn't want to make a special trip there just for the chicken so the milk was a great excuse.

I grabbed the last package of chicken left in the meat area :(  I really wanted to get some but I guess that was what was meant to be and maybe all I had time for cooking. 

Moving on to the dairy case, I got the evic deal on the butter even though I didn't have a coupon (I know, it almost killed me).  My husband prefers Can't Believe it's Not Butter so getting at $1.17 after evic sale and evic coupon was the best that I could do since it is normally $3.29.  I prefer free for butter and usually wait to stock up until then but I wanted to make sure that I kept my husband's butter in the house.  I also grabbed the Kraft cheese since it was on sale Buy One, Get One (which means half off at Harris Teeter).  It still left the cheese at $1.87 and I normally don't pay over $1 for a bag of shredded cheese but I splurged since we are making pizza every week now and I only had two left in the freezer. 

Then, I cruised down the aisle to see the Campbell's Skillet Sauces on sale for $2.00!!  Are you thinking that doesn't sound like a good deal.  Well, they are normally $2.99 so it wasn't a great deal but I had a coupon for $0.75 off which doubled making them $0.50 each.  Then, I also had an e-coupon for $2 off 2.  So that made me a $1 profit on two sauces which look like they will be really yummy for dinner some night.

I stopped in the Health and Beauty Section to check on the Halls Drops and see if the Vitamin C drops were included in the promotion.  I was super happy that they were so I got $8.76 worth of Vitamin C drops for $2.38 after sale and coupons.  That makes them about $0.60 per bag.  My husband loves these all year round so it is great to stock up in the winter when the prices are lower because he will use them for the rest of the year.

With such good deals under my belt, I decided to splurge and buy Cheese-Its.  There was a coupon in the paper and they were on sale for $2.50 so I figured that $2 a box was the best that I have seen in awhile and I bought a bunch back when they were on sale for $1.99 without a coupon.  We only had a few boxes left in the cupboard so I am sure that they will get eaten long before the expiration date gets close.

The milk fridges were almost empty.  We usually get fat free or skim milk but there was none left.  I would have said forget it but we were totally out and didn't have enough for little man in the morning so I decided to pick one which said 1/2%.  Have you ever heard of such a thing?  I was hoping to get two since they were offering them for $2.57 which is a great price for milk here but the dates were horrible and they didn't have the kind we usually drink so I just grabbed the one.

The Dial soap was the last thing added to the cart because it was on sale for $0.97 (limit 2) and I had a coupon for $1/2.  They ended up being $0.50 each which seemed like a good deal for foaming soap in the season of sickness where we are washing our hands a million times a day.  I was going to leave the store but I turned around to get the last deal and then I was on my way.

Not the biggest haul but I got a lot of food at a good price.  It balances out all the great prices that I got at the beginning of the month.
