This is our go-to Harris Teeter when we're in Chapel Hill. We've been shopping here regularly for groceries since June 2020. Our Chapel Hill home is equidistant between this location, store #224 "Hope Valley Commons" in Durham, and store #120 "Meadowmont Village" in Chapel Hill. Simply put, we like this Harris Teeter more than the Meadowmont location because we think the stuff here is fresher and there's more variety.
The items I've personally purchased the most from this store are coffee creamer, diet soda, bagged or boxed salads and veggies, and occasionally salad dressing. My coffee creamer of choice is Silk Almond Creamer in the 32-ounce bottles. Harris Teeter regularly sells these at $4.79 per bottle and offers at least one or two flavors more than Walmart. Walmart's price is cheaper, though. A 12-pack of canned diet soda has regularly cost $6.59, but I've often gotten packs for less than that through discounts and specials. Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Cheerwine are the types I've purchased. I also like the 8-packs of bottled Diet Coke, but it's a little more expensive at $6.59 for 8 bottles. Each bottle holds the same amount as a can (12 ounces), but I like that I don't have to commit to an entire bottle. I can seal it back up and drink it later without sacrificing carbonation.
We like the Harris Teeter house brand "Farmers Market" salads (e.g. Romaine Blend) and Organic Girl boxed salads (e.g. Super Greens!). I'm not so much a fan of Fresh Express, but I'll buy it if there's nothing better. The bags of Fresh Express can be as low as $1.99 per bag of Italian salad and as high as $3.79 per bag of Hearts of Romaine. 10-ounce bags of the Harris Teeter Romaine Blend have cost $3.49 at regular price while Organic Girl has naturally been more expensive at $4.29 per 5-ounce box. However, we've often purchased boxes of Organic Girl, and many other items, when they're on sale. We've gotten Organic Girl for as low as $2.99 and $2.14 per box. The small bags of Eat Smart Vegetable Medley, Broccoli and Cauliflower, etc. have typically cost $2.99 per small bag. As for salad dressing, we like Briannas which has run $3.49 per 12-ounce bottle. The New American Creamy Balsamic and Asiago Caesar flavors have been yummy.
My wife does most of the grocery shopping and cooking for us. A sampling of things she's purchased from this Harris Teeter in recent months includes blueberries ($4.99 per box), clementines ($2.99 per 3-lb bag), green grapes ($5.99 per bag), baby bok choy ($2.49/lb), seasoned Brussels sprouts ($4.99 per package), Hass avocado ($2 per bag, each bag has 2 small avocados, so $1 per small avocado), yellow onions ($1.99 for a 3-lb bag), organic lettuce ($2.49 for 1 head), natural free-range eggs ($6.49 for 12 large eggs), ground chicken ($6.99 per package), asparagus ($3.99/lb), frozen blueberries ($9.99 per bag; great in smoothies), yellow bananas ($0.49/lb), Tillamook Mudslide and Chocolate Ice Creams ($6.99 for a 1.5-qt carton), white mushrooms ($2.49 for 16 ounces), cremini mushrooms ($2.49 for 8 ounces), shiitake mushrooms ($4.49 per package), baby bella mushrooms ($2.49 per package), leeks ($2.99/lb), sweet potatoes ($1.19/lb), Bush brand beans, assorted (e.g. dark kidney beans, black beans) ($1.49 per can), organic red seedless grapes ($2.99/lb), Dave's Killer Bread assorted bagels (e.g. berry, Cinnamon Raisin Remix) ($5.49 per bag of 6 bagels), thin Oreos ($3.99), Philadelphia cream cheese ($3.69 each), mangoes ($5 for 5, but we could buy them in singles at $1 each), red grapes ($5.99 per bag), ground turkey breast ($6.99 per package), Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce ($4.49 per bottle), Harris Teeter sharp cheddar ($3.39 per bag), Yukon potatoes ($1.49/lb), Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract ($10.99 per bottle), Screamin' Sicilian Supremus Maximus Pizza ($9.59 each), Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats ($5.69 for a 42-ounce carton), Classic Coke ($6.99 for pack of 8 smaller cans), Dark Horse Rose wine ($7.99 per bottle), NatureSweet Cherubs sweet grape tomatoes ($6.99 per 10.5-ounce resealable container), and Ghirardelli 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Premium Baking Chips ($5.49 per bag). OK - that list of examples was more detailed and exhaustive than I thought it was going to be. Admittedly, I saved up several receipts from my wife's visits to this particular store and saved them to write about in this review.
We've also gotten our fair share of extra creamy Reddi Wip in both the large ($5.49) and smaller ($3.29) cans. It was a guilty pleasure which we would add to a lot of desserts, for a while.
My wife has a Harris Teeter VIC card. I do not. Maybe I should get one. Coming from Atlanta, I've been using the Kroger Plus "Card" on my phone via the Kroger app. I think I get the same discounts as a VIC.
Practically speaking, in general, parking is easy at this Harris Teeter. It's usually never crowded. The store is clean and the customer service is good. We've yet to have a bad experience here. read more
