Weekly grocery deals 2-10!

There are lots of great deals this week on boneless skinless chicken breast, asparagus ($1.49 at Lowe's Foods),  free mission tortillas (at Harris Teeter), free Oikos Greek yogurt (HT and Lowe's Foods), Steamfresh veggies, .58 Mini Wheats (at Lowe's Foods) and so much more!  There is also another promotion at Kroger - buy 10 qualifying items, get $3 off total instantly.  The new Harris Teeter at North Hills opened today with lots of fabulous specials as well including milk at $1.99 for a gallon!

This week, I have offered more commentary on the various deals (which ones are better than others, when an item is at a good buy price, etc). Do you find it helpful or distracting? I'm trying to decide if you want me to continue the commentary in the future or if it doesn't add extra value for you. Thanks for your opinion!

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, frozen, 3 lb bag $4.99 ($1.66/lb – a very good price for boneless skinless!), Limit 2

Tide Detergent, 50 ounce $4.99 - .35/1 coupon from 2/7 = $4.29 (a very good price for Tide – but not for other less expensive brands), Limit 1

Sargento Cheese, 8 oz, $1.49, limit 1 (there is a .40/2 coupon from 1/31 but I wouldn’t use it on this deal because you have to buy 2 to use the coupon and there is a limit of 1 bag of cheese at $1.49. The other bag will be $2.49 making each one $1.99 after coupon – not a very good deal at all. You are better off to just get the one bag at $1.49 and not use the coupon at all.)
