If you live near a Harris Teeter -- I just became aware that this summer they are offering $5 meal deal days. Monday thru Friday they have specials for $5. On Monday you can get a large cheese pizza for $5, Tuesday a whole rotisserie chicken for $5 but the best deal is Thursday -- you can get a bucket of 8 pieces fried or baked chicken. I have found their fried chicken to be very good -- rarely get it but it is quite tasty. I might pick some up this Thursday.

The Wednesday meal is some type of green dinner salad and Friday is sushi which I do not eat. Several people commented that their sushi is good.

And on Thursday you get an extra 5% off as a senior.

Yipeeeee!

That's too bad. Yes I think those $5 specials have been VERY popular -- go earlier in the day I imagine. The sweet spot to me is about 11 am -- the chicken is freshly cooked but the lunch rush has not yet begun. Reply With Quote Quick reply to this message

Are any other chains in the Kroger family (Kroger owns Harris Teeter) running this special? Reply With Quote Quick reply to this message

My local store has fried chicken, baked chicken, and rotisserie chicken, depending on your bent.

Fried and baked whole chicken pieces $9.99 (in lides white meat)

Fried dark meat is $7.99 as is regular price on rotisserie chicken.

The "2 days later" of the fried and baked..any style is $5.
Monday is a good day for that..left over from weekend. Tues often works too.

I buy the last ...2 or 3 if I can and freeze the pieces. If not, I buy the $7 dark. I like ALL chicken..unless the white breast meat is dried out.

Freezing is a way to stretch my food dollars.

And I LOVE chicken...

Because of listeria in deli meat we normally buy (national news) we have been buying different lunch meat for 2 weeks.

Publix has fried chicken breast tenders for $9/lb in the ready-to-eat hot food area (next to deli) which is less per lb than deli chicken. Not a great $$ bargain compared to buying on sale and cooking but better price than deli which has preservatives.

I am on strike, they will not get me to buy certain items any more, or at least in the foreseeable future.

$7 a pound for chuck-steak, $8 a pound for cow-tongue........I like both very much, but will not buy until the prices become sane again.

My King Soopers here in Denver in the meat section has meats for $5. I pick up thin sliced breasts, a big pack of drumsticks, a pack of pork chops. I saw the other day they added wings also for $5. I use whatever for dinner and freeze the rest. You can't beat that
