If you need to stock your freezer with chicken, now is the time to buy whole chickens at Harris Teeter. Fresh Whole Fryer Chicken is 59¢ per lb (limit 4). In my experience, whole chickens are usually between 4 and 5 lbs. That makes a whole chicken around $2.50. Check out the other sales and coupon match-ups HERE.

Japan 1945:The exhibit, entitled Japan 1945: Images by U.S. Marine Photographer Joe O’Donnell, will showcase 24 of the most compelling images O’Donnell took while serving in the U.S. Marines Corps in Japan.
O’Donnell enlisted in the U.S. Marines Corps in 1943 at the age of 20 and was assigned as a photographer with the 5th Division. In 1945, he was given the order to document the aftermath of U.S. bombing raids on the Japanese cities struck by atomic bombs, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. During the seven months he spent on assignment, he also photographed cities such as Sasebo, one of the more than 60 Japanese cities that had been firebombed.
Throughout this time, O’Donnell took thousands of official photographs and shot several hundred with his own camera. This camera, as well as other objects from his career as a photographer, will also be presented in the exhibition.
When he returned home from the war, O’Donnell put the negatives of his own photos in a trunk and locked them away, emotionally unable to look at them until after nearly 50 years.
In 1995, O’Donnell published many of the photos in Japan. A decade later, a book was published in the United States by Vanderbilt University Press, entitled "Japan 1945: A U.S. Marine’s Photographs from Ground Zero." He also lectured and exhibited in both countries. The State Museum used original negatives from Joe O’Donnell’s personal collection to create the exhibition.
"These powerful photographs were among the original images O’Donnell took as a U. S. Marine photojournalist in occupied Japan in the aftermath of war, showing both destruction and reconstruction. They provide a look at the world’s entry into the nuclear age," explained the museum’s Executive Director Lois Riggins-Ezzell.
The exhibition of O’Donnell’s photographs captures gripping images of Japanese children and adult survivors in their world as it was at the time.
"Not only do O’Donnell’s tragically beautiful photographs capture a hell on earth, they also embody his profound compassion and respect, making his haunting images precious not only as documentation but also as works of art," Donna Seaman said in a recent review of O’Donnell’s work for Booklist magazine.
After the war, O’Donnell was employed as a photographer with the United States Information Agency, an organization created in 1953, where he photographed American presidents, world leaders and important White House events. A case displaying objects from O’Donnell’s personal collection is included in the exhibition.
In the early 1980s, O’Donnell moved to Nashville, where he continued to take photographs, exhibit his work, and lecture until his death in 2007.
Japan 1945: Images by U.S. Marine Photographer Joe O’Donnell will be on view at the Military Branch Museum through September 2012. This museum, located in the War Memorial building on plaza across the street from the main museum, is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

I'm not a huge fan of Food Saver, but they seem to have at least one great deal a week. Keep in mind that the price on the shelf is really the price plus 10% when you check out. This week Fryer Leg Quarters are .38 per lb (really .42) in 10 lb bags. This is a fantastic stock-up price! For $4.20 you get 10 lbs of chicken which is about three crock pots worth. Check out their other deals this week HERE. Prices good through September 25th.

In Franklin, TN, the old HG Hill store has been converted into a Food Saver. I miss the HG Hill store. It used to have great prices on fresh meat. The one thing I really don't like about the new store format is that they tack on another 10% when you check out claiming that the price you see on the shelf is their cost only. So basically you pay another 20% when you check out because of the added tax.
Living Social has a fantastic deal today! Spend $10 for $20 in groceries at Whole Foods! Hurry before this disappears! I love Whole Foods but because of the prices, I rarely shop there. This will instantly make whatever I buy 50% off! Woo hoo!

If you have a son in 1st through 5th grade, I highly recommend joining Cub Scouts! It is one of the most cost effective activities ($75 for the whole year) and learning experiences that you can provide. Some of the activities include camping, hiking, Pinewood Derby, cake decorating contest, sports games, caving, swimming and parades. You do not need to be an outdoor expert to be involved. There are plenty of people to help you, and you can learn along with your Scout. Now is the season to join and you can find out all the contact information you need either through your child's school or church.
This Saturday is the first Saturday of the month and you know what that means?! Half price day at Goodwill. Happy Hunting!
