At Matthews, N.C.-based Harris Teeter, VIC card holders who cash their tax stimulus checks will receive 10 percent off their next grocery purchase, the retailer said on its Web site.
 
The promotion began on May 14 and is available until July 19. Harris Teeter said it will cash VIC cardholders' tax stimulus checks free and reward their loyalty with a 10 percent-off certificate.
