6 Dinners + 2 Valentine's Day Menus

02/10/12 11:05

Coupon Kitchen features menus for Harris Teeter, Bi-Lo and Lowes Foods. Of those three, Harris Teeter is the most commonly visited store in this area, so I'll share those here. But you can link to the menus for Bi-Lo and Lowes, too.

Two keys to shopping at Harris Teeter are having a VIC loyalty card and registering it online for the eVIC program. I posted earlier this week that if you are signed up, you may have received a $15 off $75 purchase ecoupon that will automatically be loaded onto your card. This week's subtotal is $47 and doesn't include the Valentine's Day dinner. However, with the $15 off $75 coupon, you can get the items to make one of these special menus free or at a huge discount!
