If you are like me then sticking to a budget to remain financially solvent is becoming a main priority. I've found for myself that sticking within the budget when it comes to food is harder than most other areas. I've been a bit sickened lately when a couple bags of groceries can cost more than $40. Recently a couple internet friends of my wife tipped her off to Angel Food Ministries. It's a non-profit organization that buys lots of food at wholesale and then sells it for wholesale to the public. A good size box of food costs $30 and is easily worth double that. This past Saturday we picked up our very first box of food from Angel Food Ministries. Here's what it contained: steaks, pork ribs, hot dogs, eggs, chicken breasts, chicken nuggets, ground turkey, milk, peanut butter, cranberry sauce, pasta, pancake mix, green beans, carrots
Not bad for $30. I should note that some of the items are quite generic but that doesn't mean poor quality. They also have several optional boxes that you can order that cost varying amounts and feature different meat or fruit and vegetable items. Next month I think I'll order one of the optional boxes as well.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the US and Christmas is four weeks away. This time of year can definitely get expensive, do yourself a favor and at least look at Angel Food Ministries. It can be a great money saver and this is certainly not a time to be spending money unnecessarily.
And because Thanksgiving is only 15 minutes away as of the time of this writing, I would like to just say one thing that I am thankful for. There are many many things that I am thankful for and most more personal than this one. But the one thing that I'd like to share with you is that this is my 100th post on I'm Not A Rat. This is the first blog that I have consistently stuck to for this long and I am thankful for the things that I have learned and been able to share with all of you over the course of the last 8 or 9 months through this website. Thank you for reading.
