Harris Teeter Meal Plan & Shopping List

04/27/12 16:11

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.

This is a fun week leading up to the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo all in one day! The Chicken-Chile Tostadas seem like a perfect way to celebrate May 5th but do you have a favorite recipe or cocktail to celebrate either one of these occasions? Feel free to comment below!

The subtotal this week is $80 for four people. Remember to shop your local produce stand or Farmers Market and you may score even better deals on fresh produce. The shopping list reflects the amount of food you need to make the recipes for four servings. However, be sure to double or triple the recipes when you’re cooking as most of the serving sizes are for two.
