Harris Teeter Weekly Menu Jan 22-28

This week I received an email for $5 off a $40 or more Express Lane purchase in addition to the fee being waived since it would be my first time. I was debating it because of the $5 off. However, I'm one of those people who really enjoys going to the grocery store and I just don't know if I can give up that control! Due to my control issues, it could be your lucky day! Leave a comment below and I will pick a random winner by 5:00 pm today. Be sure to include your email address so I can send it to you!

The subtotal this week is $54.  Many of the dishes are enough for four so make sure to check out the serving size of each recipe. There should be leftovers if you're cooking for two.  If you're cooking for a family of four or more, no need to double.
