How far will $64 go at Harris Teeter?

Pro tip: You can't spend sixteen dollars on a chicken if you're shopping on a budget.
Pro tip: You can’t spend this much on chicken if you’re shopping on a budget.
For the first decade or so of our marriage Rockford and I were forced to be frugal. Then he finished graduate school and moved on to a Real Corporate Job, and the need to clip coupons and buy dented canned goods became increasingly less dire. So I was a bit worried about meeting the demands of the 4 Hats and Frugal $64 challenge. And then I was a lot worried when I saw which store Amiyrah had given me: Harris Teeter. Not traditionally known as a haven for the frugal.

I had to feed a family of four for a week. On $64. At Harris Teeter. Here was my menu plan:

Monday: Sesame noodles with chicken
Tuesday: Potato and chorizo hash
Wednesday: Chicken tortilla soup
Thursday: Curried lentils with chicken and potatoes
Friday: BBQ chicken pizza
