Cutting the Budget Part 1:Angel Food Ministry

During this past year the price of almost everything has gone up! Even though prices have gone up we have found several ways to cut our budget. One of the ways we have been able to cut our grocery budget this past year is by participating in the Angel Food Ministry. For $30 we get all this food.

1.5 lb. Choice Cut Beef Roast
2 lb. Breaded Chicken Tenders

They say it will feed a family of 4 for one week-which if it was just dinners that would be about 4.25 per dinner. Each month the menu is different so you can choose whether or not it would be worth it for your family. There have been a few items we didn't like but all in all I think it is worth it. You can check there website for host sites(normally churches) and place your order through them. I know alot of people think this is only for people on food stamps-but let me assure you it is not-anyone can order! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!
