I saw posted recently how to print off the HT evics that are saved to our account...can you post that again please?

Eggs are 1.19 dozen at Aldi. At the Louisburg location, all the good deals are picked clean except the iceberg lettuce. They did have a few .69/lb whole chickens left :)

At LF in Brier Creek last night I was not able to find the Whole Fruit Smoothies listed on this week's LF deals post, but while looking for them I did find Dole Smoothie Shakers marked as $2.29 BOGO = $1.15 and used a .65/2 printable (SmartSource?) so got 2/$1. Easy breakfast starter!

Also, the new Oscar Meyer Selects bacon was $6.69 (yikes!) but BOGO = $3.34 - .55 MQ = $2.24. This kind is nitrate free and while I shudder at paying $6.69 for a pkg, no matter how much healthier it is supposed to be, $2.24 was fine with me!

corbin - this is how I print my e-Vic ZVR coupons:

From the Wednesday or Friday e-mail HT sends to me, I click on e-coupons. I think load all the coupons I want to to my card. Then I click to see the weekly deals list. Then I click on at least one deal to add to my cart to create a shoppign list. Then I click Print List and the ZVR e-Vic coupons will show up at the bottom of the list. You can have it e-mailed to you, print it out or both.

You can also access your e-Vic coupons through harristeeter.com and log into your account.

Hope that helps. I just added new ones last night and used the Quaker one today.

Thanks for the additional deals, ddalmas and flying!

Thank you Faye :)
