Harris Teeter AND Lowe's Food coupon savings!

This week both Harris Teeter and Lowe's Food decided to do coupon promotions! I figured this will probably be my last time getting planning to get up early to go shopping (unless Nolan is awake then I may go with him :) ) so I got together all my coupons, got my lists made, and headed out!

Harris Teeter did their Triple Coupon event where they tripled all coupons .99 and under. Here's what I got!

• The Pop chips were on sale for $1 and I had a .55 coupon making them free
• The small bottle of coke was free after a .99 coupon
• 1 box of Texas Toast was on clearance for $1.89 and with my .40 coupon it was only $.69
• The other box of TT was $2.99 and after .40 coupon was $1.79
