Wednesday deals (Feb. 29-March 6)

There's no shortage of bargains to go after at the grocery stores this week with impressive deals at each of the stores -- many of them under $1. How do you like the sound of eggs for 97 cents a dozen, grapes for 97 cents a pound, toothpaste for a quarter, and a one-pound package of bacon for 49 cents?
In addition, Harris Teeter has got dozens of BOGO sales going on and with any luck, this weekend's coupons will match up with some of those sales. And Lowes Foods has launched an enhanced Fuel Rewards program that you'll want to take a look at. Aldi has its usual assortment of bargain-priced produce. And all of the stores have sales this week on fresh or frozen chicken.

Read on for all the very best deals at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion, Aldi and Kroger. For easier comparison, I've included Sunday's Kroger deals at the bottom of the post.

Great produce deals at Aldi this week

The produce deals at Aldi are particularly good this week. How does 89 cents per pound for grapes sound to you? Or a 5-pound bag of grapefruit for $1.19?

(The only time I've gotten grapefruit cheaper is when we had a tree in our backyard in South Florida.)

Here's a complete list of the produce deals Aldi is featuring this week:

It's another great week for deals at the grocery stores with lots of BOGO deals at Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods and a store-brand promotion at Food Lion that rewards you with a coupon for cash off your next grocery order.

Read on for a store-by-store breakdown of all the best deals at the supermarkets this week:

New Aldi store opening in Durham on Wednesday

A new Aldi is opening in Durham on Wednesday with free samples for customers.

The store, located at 7906 N.C. Highway 751 South in Durham, will open at 11 a.m.

The Durham store is part of a recent expansion in the Triangle. Last November, Aldi opened a third Raleigh location. And a Wake Forest store is scheduled to open later this year. Cary and Fuquay-Varina also have Aldi stores.

The new Triangle stores are among 80 new Aldi stores to open in the past year in the United States. The chain has more than 1,100 stores in 31 states.

The discount German grocery with U.S. headquarters in Batavia, Ill., is one of my favorite places to buy produce and items that rarely have coupons.

Among the ways Aldi keeps its prices low:

The stores are smaller than most supermarkets and offer mostly Aldi-brand products. Customers bring their own bags and pay 25-cents for a cart, which is refunded when you return it. Customers bag their own groceries. Stores accept cash and debit cards but no credit cards.

UPDATED: Wednesday Deals (Jan. 4-10)

Harris Teeter's Super Doubles promotion may be the big news this week in the world of coupons. But the other grocery stores have some can't-miss deals:

  • great produce buys at Aldi, including 99-cent pineapples and 50-cent per pound pears.
  • a new set of in-store coupons at Lowes Foods that yields 30-cent cereal and some extremely inexpensive snack foods.
  • a coupon for $5 off a $30 grocery order at Food Lion.
  • and a nice P&G promo at Kroger.
