THE PETERSENS

These events always bring me so much joy!  I love stocking my pantry and for such little money.  Here’s what I was able to get this time around.  I was hoping to get more of the free items, but I didn’t make it to the store until 8 and Triples started at 7.  Oh well.  I’m contemplating going again, but I think it depends on what me and my Dad decide to do the rest of his time here in North Carolina.  Anyway…

Harris Teeter Doubles is taking place this week, so I had to take advantage of the deals on the first day of the sale.  Me and the boys made it to the store by 8:30 AM, which was quite an accomplishment for us!  We got everything we wanted, so we may go a second time next week.  Otherwise, we are still planning to hit another couple stores this Saturday or Sunday.  There are some good meat sales at Kroger and Lowes Foods, for those of you who are interested!

Oh, and I definitely splurged on a couple items this week just because we did so well on our grocery budget last week.  Take note of the yummy Stacy’s Pita Chips and the Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.  To…die…for.
