Jurassic J hates many things. But he loves the Teeter (for good reason). Another guest post from the last of his kind.
Yesterday I couldn't decide what to eat for dinner so I went down to the Harris Teeter and wandered around like someone that was stalking the wine-tasting lady until I realized I had free sub points. I haven't had a sub in a while, and I never tried the chicken, so this was a perfect opportunity. After picking up the sub I cruised by the meat section and noticed $4 off the 2lb 93% lean hamburger meat that comes wrapped up like sausage. This cut the price down from $7 to $3, or $1.50 a pound which is insane for 93%. Dinner for tonight and extra hamburgers for lunch next week. Done and done. I also picked up a six-pack of fancy beers (Red Stripe) for $7. My total was $10 and change, but it took care of my six-pack for Thursday night, Thursday night dinner, Friday lunch, Friday dinner, and potentially lunch for a few days next week and a late-night burger this weekend. Just another HT success story.
Previously, Jurassic J has disrespected the Bobcats and almost gotten clapped at the mart.

Food Street
When trying to figure out what will be going on at any uptown event, you need only to check for one detail. What type of currency will be accepted?
At Speed Street, for instance, it was straight cash, all combinations of pocket change encouraged. And we all know what happened there. Alive After Five, meanwhile, makes you stand in one line to purchase tickets, then get in another to purchase alcohol with those tickets. Mind-boggling, I know, but it sends a message. A message that says, "We're so fancy, we invent our own money. Welcome to Yup-Town. Now please go wait in another line."
This weekend, there's a festival called "Taste of Charlotte" taking over center city. Some information here and here and here. I've never been to it. But I just checked out the Web site. The first link along the left side: "coins." Description from the site:
"Coins are used to purchase food samples, beer, wine, soft drinks & water!"
You can even pre-order them online. They come in "cups," priced in intervals of $20 at first, then $100. No telling how many coins the food will cost. Be careful how many you buy. Their refund policy reads, "If you have unused coins, you can bring them back & use them next year!"
This should be Yup-Town on steroids. Enjoy.
Speaking of yuppie spectaculars, this could get interesting.
