Saving Time and Money

Recently, I decided the idea of buying groceries on-line was genius in order to save a trip to the grocery store. Not only did I want to avoid gas prices but I also wanted to avoid a trip to the store with a one year old. (Don't worry--we ofen enjoy trips to the store together)

I was told of a ministry that helps feed the homeless, Angle Food Ministries http://www.angelfoodministries.com/. Anyone can buy a box of frozen and boxed food for $30! The proceeds go to feed the less fortunate at the same time helping others save money.

Yes, I was sceptical at first and did some research and decided to try it at least once for the savings (nothing ventured nothing gained). There are other boxes you can add to an order for $20 or so dollars. We added the fresh produce box for $21 and was impressed with the quality of produce in the box. Everything is restaurant grade. The day I picked up my box of food my sceptical husband was amazed at how much food we got for so little $$$. The next day I had to go to the grocery store to buy the basics: Milk, cheese, bread, butter, etc. and spent over $50. Every item I purchased at the store was on sale and could fit in the box I had picked up the day before.

Tonight we enjoyed the baby back ribs that came in the box with our neighbors who are going to be ordering their own box next month.
