Harris Teeter Weekly Menu March 17-23

Harris Teeter is the store featured in the StarNews column this week so the Stuffed Shells, Margherita Pizza, and Chicken Parmesan Burger recipes are four servings each. HT has a ton of B2G3 deals this week including boneless chicken breast packs, Classico pasta sauce, and HT shredded cheese. Most of these items are on the menu so make sure you buy all 5 and use associated coupons (like this Classico one) to get the best deal! 2 lb bags of shrimp are also $9.99 each so I'll probably go ahead and buy a bag for the freezer for future recipes.

For a fun St. Patrick's Day celebration with friends and/or family, here is a budget-friendly menu to feed 8 people with drinks included!

The subtotal is $52 but includes three recipes for four servings so plan for leftovers to cut costs if needed.
