My name is Melissa Peduzzi, and my coupon story began in my first year of marriage to my wonderful husband, Ryan. We had established a budget, and were trying our best to stick to it, as we were both in school working towards our masters and desiring to honor God in every area of our lives, including finances. Each month, as I would go grocery shopping, I would come home in tears as I knew I had bought more than our budget could afford, and yet we didn’t have enough food to make it through the month. I threw in the towel and began looking for the better way that I knew had to be out there. I discovered the thrill and joy of coupon shopping, and reaped the benefits of over 80% savings in our grocery bills. It has been such a blessing to be able to be a good steward of what God has blessed us with, and to experience His abundance as we faithfully save.
Ryan and I are now heading towards our 6th year of marriage, and are in the middle of adopting our first child. You can read about that at ourheartforadoption.blogspot.com
