Each of the Triangle's grocery stores has its share of excellent deals this week.

Harris Teeter has free Smart Balance Spread and South Beach Diet bars, along with great deals on organic yogurts, Earthbound Farm organic salad, Jolly Time popcorn, Johnsonville Chicken Sausage, Steamfresh veggies and Sea Pak frozen seafood.
You can also pick up milk for $2.97 per gallon, a very nice deal.

Lowes Foods has a gift card promotion that rewards you with a $5 discount off your next shopping order and a nice deal on Hallmark greeting cards. You'll also find good deals on strawberries, Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix for just 25 cents, split chicken breasts for 99 cents per pound and Eggland's Best eggs for $1.30 per dozen.
The Fresh Rewards E-Offer is especially good this week: $2.99 after coupon for 12 rolls of Scott's Extra Soft toilet paper.

Food Lion also has a gift card promotion running this week, giving you a $10 discount on $50 in gift cards. You must purchase an additional $10 in groceries to get the deal but a 20 percent discount on gift cards is a very generous offer.
Food Lion has also got good prices on cantaloupe, spiral sliced ham and bone-in chicken breasts.

At Aldi, you'll find some great prices on produce -- $1.29 for pineapple and cantaloupe, strawberries for $1.49 per pound and a five-pound bag of grapefruit for just $1.69.

Keep reading for a long list of this week's top deals at Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, Food Lion and Aldi -- with and without coupons.

Look for two coupon inserts -- one Smart Source and one Red Plum -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

All together, we'll have 102 coupons to clip with a face value of more than $130 -- and that's before every-day double coupons, which we're fortunate to have at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.



I'll have the coupon database updated and the best Sunday deals posted early Sunday morning, about the same time your paper hits the driveway. That way, you'll have the most complete and up-to-date coupon information for the Triangle at your finger tips.

With the Super Bowl coming up this Sunday, it's a great week to stock up on fan-favorite foods like chips, peanuts, popcorn, Chex Mix (free!) and frozen pizza.

And if you have chili or tacos on your Super Bowl menu, you're in luck because you'll also find nice deals on ground beef, taco seasonings, salsa and hot sauce.

But my favorite deal of the week is the 6-pack of Dove Men+Care soap at Harris Teeter. It's on sale for $3.99 this week and there's a coupon for $4/1, making it free. Even better, you may have received a Harris Teeter digital coupon for an additional $3.75 off one package, making it a huge moneymaker.

The new coupons in Sunday's N&O provide a whole new opportunity to score deals during Lowes Foods Super Double coupon promotion.

Below are a few of the new deals I spotted -- at least two new freebies and more than a dozen more items under $1.

Please add any great bargains you've found so we can all save more. Thanks in advance for your help.

The News & Observer's  coupon database has been updated with all of the new coupons -- and there were a bunch.

This Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer contains four inserts -- one Smart Source, two Red Plum and a P&G -- for a total of 242 coupons with a face value of more than $280.

That's before you double the first coupon, of course, which we have the opportunity to do every day of the week at Kroger, Harris Teeter and Lowes Foods.

And this week, Lowes Foods is "super doubling" coupons with a face value $2 or less -- so this is perfect timing. Check for a separate post on the blog matching Sunday's new coupons with prices at Lowes Foods.

Not familiar with the coupon database? You can access it on the right-hand side of the blog. There's a button at the bottom right to view it as a full-size page.

Or, you can download it as an Excel spreadsheet by clicking on the attachment at the bottom of this post.

It's a handy tool, giving you the most timely and detailed list of coupons in the Triangle.

Over the last three weeks, all the major grocery chains in the Triangle have had huge sales on chicken. And the good deals continue.

This week, Harris Teeter has split chicken breasts on sale for 99 cents per pound and Food Lion has a sale on drumsticks and thighs for just 79 cents per pound.

At a dollar per pound or less, it's a good time to stock up, purchasing enough to feed your family until the next big sale rolls around.

Even if you're like me and have limited storage space, you can still take advantage of these stock-up sales by setting aside a few hours to do some batch cooking or freeze-ahead cooking.

Look for four coupon inserts -- one Smart Source, two Red Plum and the February P&G BrandSaver -- in this Sunday's home-delivered Final Edition of The News & Observer.

The new infusion of coupons could not come at a better time -- with Lowes Foods offering a Super Double coupon promotion that includes $2 coupons.

There will be a combined total of more than 240 coupons with a face value of more than $280, along with a rebate or two.

As always, I'll have the coupon database updated and the very best of the drugstore and Kroger deals posted early Sunday morning. That way, you'll have the most complete and up-to-date coupon information for the Triangle at your finger tips

This Sunday, I'll also have a separate post matching up the new coupons with Lowes Foods' sales so you can maximize your savings during the last half of its Super Doubles promo.

Pillsbury tweeted a link to a rare high-value coupon on its Crescent rolls.

It's a printable coupon for $1 off one package of Crescents.

During Lowes Foods ongoing Super Double coupon promotion that means a free 4-count roll of biscuits. Or, pay just 35 cents for an 8-count package.
