Unfortunately, I spend way too much time at the Harris Teeter….maybe $2-3000/month. I shop there for my work 4-5 times a week (yes, I need to be better organized OR lock the kitchen at work).
Harris Teeter is 20% higher on groceries than Lowes or Food Lion. I have a charge account at HT so that’s why I have to go there. Lowes and FL don’t offer one.
For MY shopping, I would go anywhere but Harris Teeter, too high and give little back the community. I havent’ been in the new Lion but they are probably upgrading to attract the folks that have the extra 20% and are going to HT.
And the Pig is the Pig. I shopped the Pig in Charleston 45 years ago with my grandma and it hasn’t change much. They actually smell the same. I get a grandma memory everytimeI walk in a Pig Wig.
Bottom line is if you’re looking at your bottom line, stay out of HT (except with coupons on double/triple coupon weeks)
From one who shops for groceries way too much,
Meg
