Default Angel Ministeries Food

Does anyone use Angel Ministeries to buy food. From what I can figure out they are like a buyers club with low cost food. What are your experiences with them?

I priced them out one month and they did save money over buying same/similar type items at Aldi. The deal w/Angel Food is you get what they give you - 98% of the time it's exactly what's advertised, but sometimes they have to make a few last minute substitutions.

I personally prefer to shop for my own groceries at Aldi's & scratch n' dent stores, as invariably there was always something every month that my family wouldn't eat*. But you can get a savings by using them. The meat boxes can be very nice.

*When this happened I always gave the stuff to a neighbor lady who can use the help.
