New Year's Shopping: HT, Food Lion, Kroger

My dogs woke me up at 4 am to go out this morning. I really hadn't planned on getting up so early, and definitely not staying awake, but when you have a 110 lb, fourteen year old lab/airdale mix and a coonhound, the alternative of cleaning up the mess is a far worse situation! So after tossing around for a few more hours, I got up for the second time and decided to take advantage of Harris Teeter's triple coupon weekend that began today. It was the first time that everything was in stock and the store was only occupied by coupon toting men and women (yes, there was one man!). Too bad you can only use about 20 coupons at one time!

Here is what I bought:

-3 blinkie Qs $1/1
Final Price: .50 each

3 Success Rice, regularly 2.59, on sale 2.00 each
