Angel Food Ministries

Have you ever heard of Angel Food Ministries? It's a great program to help cut down on your grocery costs. Go here to find your closest local host site. You place your order by a certain date and your food will come in about a week or two later.

For the low price of $30.00 this is what will be in the Angel Food box in my area for October. (We get to pick it up on Saturday)
1.5 lb. Ribeye Steaks (4 x 6 oz.)
4.5 lb. (Avg) Split Chicken Breast Family Tray Pack
26 oz. Heat and Serve Meatloaf and Brown Gravy
1 lb. Chicken Breast Fajita Strips
1 lb. Boneless Center-Cut Pork Chops (4 x 4 oz.)
1 lb. Fully Cooked Meatballs
1 lb. All Meat Hot Dogs
1 lb. Frozen Sliced Carrots
1 lb. California Blend Vegetables
1 lb. Pasta
28 oz. Marinara Sauce
48 oz. Hawaiian Punch
32 oz. Borden 2% Reduced Fat Shelf Stable Milk
12 ct. Corn Tortillas
One Dozen Eggs
One Dessert Item

There are additional special boxes you can add to the regular box but I am not going to list those here - you can see them on the website. They average around $18.00 - $21.00 for something like 10 lbs of chicken or 6.5 lbs of steaks. Sometimes they offer a fruit box or dessert box. It always varies but the price is terrific!

For October we are trying this program to see if we like it. I ordered one box. We typically do most of our grocery shopping at SaveALot, so I am not too concerned about the food brands. I really hope we like the food, because this will save us so much on groceries. And, if you plan your meals around what is in the box for that month - you don't even have to think about it, they have done it for you.

They also offer a Senior Box - My grandma ordered this to try it. It looks really great on the menu. She will receive 10 (heat & serve) meals for $28. Each meal has meat/protein, veggies, fruit, etc. so she gets a balanced meal. The host we are purchasing from also suggested these meals for singles.

I will post back once we have our food and have gotten to try it. In the mean time, check out the November menu and see if there is a host site in your area.
