Buy 2 Get 3 FREE at Harris Teeter

When I first moved to North Carolina almost 2 years ago, I was skeptical about the main grocery chain here, Harris Teeter. I didn't know much about them and having gone from living in Florida for the previous 14 years, my love for Publix was unbreakable and I never thought I would love another store as much as them. Since then, Publix stores have opened up closer to my house in NC, but in the time before this happened, I learned the ins and outs of Harris Teeter and realized that I could actually save even MORE than I did at Publix with the double coupons and extra sales that Harris Teeter has every week. Another thing I love about Harris Teeter is the extra coupons they add to items whose sell by date is that day or the next. I have gotten some GREAT deals on produce and other perishables just by looking for those extra yellow coupons on the packages. Don't worry, Publix, I still love you! :) But I digress...

Almost every week at Harris Teeter grocery stores, their ad includes a few items where you buy 2 and get 3 free. This is a great way to stock up on grocery essentials, especially things that don't go bad too quickly. This week (ending 3/3), they had this deal on HT Fresh Foods Market pre-sliced deli meats and cheeses in the deli section. I got five 8oz packages of deli meats and cheeses (totaling 2.5 pounds of meat) for only $10.98! This deal is great for weekday lunches for the kids or boyfriends/husbands (aka the big kids). 

Another deal that I wanted to share with you from this week was on Barilla pasta and sauces; both were part of the B2G3Free deal this week. Here's a look at what I got:

5 Barilla Sauce at B2G3 Free $2.99 each

Pay $5.98 for 5

- (2) $1/2 Barilla Sauce (From 3/1 insert)

Final Price = $3.98 for 5 or $.79 each!

5 Barilla Pastas at B2G3 Free $1.99 each

Pay $3.98 for 5

- $1/2 Barilla Proteinplus, Whole Grain, Veggie, White Fiber or Gluten Free Pasta (From RP 1/4 insert)

Final Price = $2.98 for 5 or $.59 each!

This deal would have been even better if I had another pasta coupon to add, but $6.96 for 10 items still isn't half bad. And stocking up on sauces and pastas are great because they usually don't go bad for years. It's also a great stand-by dinner to have on hand for nights when you just don't know what to make. Adding veggies and lean meats or even using this as a side dish are great ways to incorporate the carbs from pasta into a balanced, healthy meal.
