Cheap Diapers!

Whether you like Huggies or Pampers or both, they are super duper cheap this week at Harris Teeter. Tomorrow, April 14th the sale will start and the "jumbo" packs of diapers will be on sale for $5.99. What makes this a better deal is the $3.00 off coupon on coupons.com. Pampers also had some $2.00 off coupons recently in the red plum insert!!!! If anyone can print the huggies coupon and doesn't want it give it to me :) I will definately use it!!!

In other news I have started a new business this month. I am going to be a Tastefully Simple consultant. If you have never heard of this company, go Here to check it out. You can place an order on the website and it will be mailed directly to your home. I am also doing home taste testing shows :) You get to sample 18 of our most popular items....beware, you will become addicted to the beer bread :)

Deals for Harris Teeter that I love! 3-10 until 3-17

This week there are several items that I will be buying. I love the BOGO (buy one get one free) items because the ring as half price even if you only buy one. I normally advise you to buy only one but if you have more than one coupon for some of them and your HT will allow it use it when the item is free.

I will be buying the following things;

Chex Mix .37 after the 50cent coupon doubles (prob. 10 of them)

NoYolk Egg Noodles free after the 75cent coupon from SS 2/21/10 (prob. 20 of them)

Perdue chicken breast which are BOGO this week, I cannot get a price on them

EVIC    100 oz. Tide 5.77, limit 1 (non E-VIC price 11.99)

I am not going to get any cereal, but these are some really good deals.
Kellogg's Cereal Deal:
Get up to $5 off Kellogg's Cereal, any variety 12 oz. or larger. Buy 3, get $3 off. Buy 4, get $4 off. Buy 5, get $5 off. All items must be purchased in same transaction with VIC card. Maximum $5 reward per transaction. Limit one reward per transaction.
