Recently, a mom shared the following grocery-saving information with me. (It doesn’t necessarily work out for me and my family, but I still thank that it’s a great deal!).

“I just want to share with you all about Food Angel Ministry. I came across this website through a sampling website where some people were talking about the cheaper food they (received) from FAM. Anyway, I decided to check for myself once the food was posted for a very low price. I thought that maybe it was not good food. Well, I was wrong! (It’s) the same thing we get at the supermarket.

This is how they work:
They are located in many states of the country and they have their pick up, we don’t buy them online, I mean, you can buy online (there’s an extra charge for credit card’s payment) but you have to go pick it up.

You can only order once a month at the beginning of the month and the pick up date is usually close to the end of the month (one day only). Payments (are) done ahead of time.

(My husband) went to get the food last Saturday and this is what we got for just $30.00.

JUNE 2008
1.5 lb. Rib Eye Steaks (4 x 6 oz)
1.5 lb. Hamburger Patties (4 x 6 oz)
2 lb. Pork Riblets
4 lb. Individually Quick Frozen Chicken Leg Quarters
2 lb. Breaded Chicken Tenders
20 oz. Supreme Pizza
1 lb. Mild Italian Sausage
2 lb. French Fries
16 oz. Sliced Carrots
16 oz. Mixed Vegetables
32 oz. Borden 2% Reduced Fat Shelf Stable Milk
6 oz. Pancake Mix
15 oz. Pork and Beans
14 oz. Ketchup
7.5 oz. Macaroni & Cheese

ALL THIS FOR THE LOW COST OF JUST $30

You can’t choose the food. They post what they will be selling that month. The menu changes every month.

This is not enough for the month for us but it’s a great help. If anyone wants to check them out, here goes their website: http://www.angelfoodministries.com/

One last thing: the pick-up location (for Manhattan) is downtown on Greenwich Street.”
