Angel Food

It is hard to believe that it has been over two weeks since I blogged. I have several blog entries I have been meaning to do but haven't found the time. Today is my catch up day.

Saving money is on everyone mind now. I have been trying different things to try to lower my families grocery bill. I am planning on using the Farmers Market more this year than I have in the past years and planning meals more around what is in season. I may always trying freezing or canning (yikes).

One new thing I am trying is called Angel Food Ministries. Some of the area churches participate in this. There are no income guidelines for this program. Their line is if you eat you qualify. I figured out the prices using average prices found on the Internet and there is a savings. I got the bountiful blessings box which is $41.00. This box contained:

2lb. Beef Steak Burgers

2 lb. (avg) All Natural Boneless/Skinless

Chicken Breast (Tray Pack)

2 lb. Fully Cooked Meatloaf with Red Sauce

2 lb. Sloppy Joe Mix (seasoned beef & sauce)

2.5 lb. IQF Unbreaded Chicken Wings

1.5 lb. Whiting Fillets (6 x 4 oz.)

1.5 lb. Breaded Large Chicken Breast Chunks

1.5 lb. Smoked Sausage

1.5 lb. Fully Cooked Meatballs

1 lb. 100% Ground Turkey

1 lb. 3-way Veggie Blend

1 lb. Fresh/Frozen Butter Peas

1 lb. Mini Broccoli Florets

1 lb. Large Sliced Carrots

2 lb. Waffle Fries

1 lb. Spinach

28 oz. Baked Beans

12 oz. Egg Noodles

8 oz. Jambalaya Rice Mix

8 oz. Corn Muffin Mix

32 oz. Shelf-Stable 2% Milk

8 oz. Buttermilk Pancake Mix

1 doz. Eggs

Dessert

 I also purchase an after school box for $24.00. That box contained:

2 lb. Breaded Chicken Fingers

1.5 lb. Breaded Chicken Wings

1.5 lb. Corn Dogs (3 x 8 oz. bags)

14 oz. Stuffed Breadsticks/Pizza Bites

4 ea. 2.8 oz. Peanut Butter and Jelly Jamwich

1 ea. 3 oz. Grilled Cheese Sandwich

2 ea. 4 oz. Pocket Sandwiches

2 ea. 3.7 oz. Beef Charbroil Sandwich w

Cheese (Twin Packs)

2 ea. 2.2 oz. PBJ on Graham Wafers

2 ea. 3.4 oz. Watermelon Italian Ice

2 ea. 3.2 oz. Raspberry Fruit Juice Sherbet

 

The savings was about $25 for the two packs I bought.

The food is okay. Some of it I am not fond of but it is all decent food and does save some money in our food budget. They have several options on each month's menu.
