$102 Worth of Groceries for less than $25!

 I paid $24.93 for all of these groceries! All name brand, from Harris Teeter today, and the total without coupons was $102.98.

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. I will be on Fox News Wilmington filling in for Michelle Li and sharing my grocery deals for this week. I went shopping today and boy did I get some amazing deals! I was surprised to see how many great deals were out there, most items being under $1.00 after coupons came off.

Several of the coupons I used came from the Lowes Foods spring coupon booklet. If you have not gotten yours yet, YOU MUST! It's only $1.00 but is LOADED with awesome manufacturer's coupons. I cut out several of the coupons and used them on items that were on sale at Harris Teeter, which is perfectly fine to do. The Hellmann's Mayonnaise, the Hungry Jack Pancake Mix and the Maruschan Noodles are just two examples of items that are available in the Lowes Foods booklet but are on sale at Harris Teeter. Since the coupons don't expire until late May, I'm sure there will be many more opportunities to use the booklet.

This is the Lowes Foods Savings Booklet that is LOADED with coupons, many of which will double. The bonus is that they can be used at any store, since most of the coupons are manufacturer's offers.
