THE PETERSENS

Last week, I participated in Harris Teeter Doubles.  What in the world is that, right?  Well, it is when one of our local grocery stores doubles manufacturer’s coupons worth up to $1.98.  It rocks my face off.  I have only been couponing for a few months now, but I love it.  I got so much free stuff and groceries for rock-bottom prices.  These kinds of specials are extremely helpful, especially since we have recently reduced our monthly grocery spending to $175 for a family of four.  We are still able to eat wholesome, healthy and well.  We are thankful to the Lord for His abundant provision!
