Saving on food

[4TimesCharmed]

I don't know if this is available in all of your areas (it's out of Georgia), however, I still wanted to pass it along anyway because it is going to help us out a TON with 4 little mouths to feed on my husband's income (I'm a SAHM). Check out www.angelfoodministries.com
You don't have to meet any income requirement, anyone can participate. They take foodstamps if anyone is on that...and the food is restaurant grade, never close to date, out of date, or dented cans, etc. You can buy as many boxes as your family will need for the month...it will cut our grocery budget in half! I can't wait to start this next month! Here is what you get in August:

I copied the above post from another forum. I called and there is a host site in my city. I will be purchasing a box in August and I will report my thoughts. From what I"ve heard from people who have done this, the food is excellent quality.

Sounds good, but there isn't even anything in my state.....bummer

ditto.... nothing here either...

I just moved to Georgia. Though, I have not looked into the program yet. Are you sure anybody can do it because I feel bad taking money that could be given to less fortunate people. It does sound great just I'm not going to participate. I can easily pay for groceries. Thanks for sharing this information.

Those prices are not much cheaper than what I usually pay for the food at the regular stores, plus I never buy anything precooked because they are too expencive. It might be a good idea for those who doesn't have much time to watch the sales, clip the coupons and cook everything from scratch.

Brenda, I live in the mountains of north georgia. I have seen this advertised but I thought it was for people who could not afford to pay full price for food.

There are no income limits, no applications, nothing like that. I'd probably check it out if there was one locally.

We are vegetarian and eat organic as much as possible (probably around 80% of what we eat). Not good for us. But like the idea
