Harris Teeter actually had Super Doubles TWICE this week (3 days each). This picture is from Super Doubles earlier in the week. These deals are no longer available. After coupons and rebates, I paid $6.32 for all of the above.

Grocery Total for the Week after Coupons and Rebates – $92.99 (Yes, this is more than I usually spend. Last week, I only spent $61 – so it all balances out. 🙂 Since we can’t eat all of this food in one week, some of this will go towards the following weeks.)
