Lowes Foods is running a contest right now that could win you free milk for a year. That's one gallon per week for 52 weeks.

You're automatically entered to win when you use your store loyalty card to purchase a package of Oreos, which happen to be on sale this week for $2.88.

But guess what? You don't have to buy anything to enter to win.

Panda Express is celebrating the Chinese New Year by giving you a free entree -- no purchase necessary.

Go to the Panda Express website to download a coupon for a free single-serving Firecracker Chicken Breast entree.

The coupon is good only on Monday, Jan. 23.

Two other coupons will also print with your freebie -- one for a BOGO entree and one for 10 percent off your total purchase. Both of those coupons are good Jan. 24 through Feb. 14.

There are two Panda Express locations in the Triangle:

1000 Beaver Creek Commons Dr.
Beaver Creek shopping center
Apex, NC  27502

120 Science Drive
(Duke University Bryan Center)
Durham, NC  27708

Speculation is mounting on the national coupon forums that Harris Teeter will likely hold a Super Doubles promotion starting Wednesday, Jan. 4.

No one has yet to see the Jan. 4 circular, but Harris Teeter has kicked off each of the last three years with either a Triples or Super Doubles event. In fact, since 2009, the store has rarely strayed from its monthly schedule of special couponing events.
