Need milk?

Through Saturday, Walgreens still has the best price on milk in the Triangle at just $2.79 per gallon.

But starting today, there's another place to score a cheap gallon: Harris Teeter has milk on sale through next Tuesday, Dec. 20, for $2.97.

And as I've said many times, any time you can find milk for under $3 a gallon, you've scored a good deal. (If anyone out there knows of a better price, please share!!)

There's no coupon required at either store. But Walgreens has a two gallon limit and you must have a VIC card to get the deal at Harris Teeter.

There are lots of grocery bargains to be snatched up this week: Harris Teeter has got milk for $2.97, plus great deals on eastern apples, butter, Crest toothpaste and Pantene shampoo and conditioner. At Lowes Foods, you can pick up free boxes of cereal with the right coupon combinations, along with 15-cent hot sauce, 20-cent canned veggies and $1.47 per pound spiral ham. Food Lion has got an even better deal on spiral ham at $1.29 per pound, along with sales on baking supplies and 89-cent Coke 2 liters. Aldi has some super deals on produce, including 99-cent whole pineapples and sweet potatoes for 33 cents per pound.
