We were out of town from Wednesday, directly after my last Super Doubles trip, until today, and the first thing I did was head for Harris Teeter.
OK, that’s a lie. The first thing I did was take a long, long shower (what is it about a road trip that makes you feel so grimy?) and start some laundry. Then I clipped today’s coupons. Then I went to Harris Teeter.
I like this haul not least because it contains many Healthy Things. I managed to eat pretty healthily the first couple of days we were on the road, but by Saturday night it was all cheese balls and sausage gravy. Best not to speak too much of these things.

I may or may not head back for one more Super Doubles trip. There’s not much else I really need, but there are a few things I could get for free, and the tortilla chips, yogurt, jam and other coupons from today’s paper make for some solid deals.
