Weekly Menu August 21-27, 2011

Sorry for the late post this week. I was out of town celebrating the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Alan and Liz Pike! Congrats! I was thrilled to see this weekly ad from Harris Teeter. There are lots of amazing stock up items with the Buy 2, Get 3 Free (B2G3) sale on Craisins, Tuttorosso Tomatoes, and Emerald Nuts! I eat Craisins and nuts all of the time in salads and to make trail mix/snacks but if you don’t personally eat those items often, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing all 5.  That being said, you must purchase 5 of the items to get the sale price.  The weekly total for dinner this week is $49 (without tax).  This is the cost broken down for the 7 dinners based on two people. If you do the B2G3 sale on Craisins, Tuttorosso Tomatoes, and Emerald Nuts with the coupon, the total will be $66.  However, your pantry will be full of stocked up goodies!
