Jun. 28, 2008 - Not Too Good to Be True

All this for $30!!!

 

The economy is rough right now, food prices are high...much too high.  So how did we get all of this for $30?  www.angelfoodministries.com

This is not a food bank, this is not a charity program, it is not for the low-income, and there are no applications, interviews, or requirements other than to pay the $30 when you order your food. 

For the last few months we have been looking at their website, seeing promotions and advertisements all around...we've also been reading reviews on BWH (backwoods home website) as well as cruisersforum.com...and after another couple trying it last month and then having us over to share the filet mignon (yes, 4 filet in last month's selection!) we were sold. 

Today was the pickup day and wow!  375 people in this immediate area made the smart choice...people that look, act, and smell like you and me (well, I need to shower after working on projects, but...)

For $30 we got:

4 ribeye steaks

4 hamburger patties

2 Banquet family size lasagna meals

1 bag pizza rolls

2lb chicken tenders

1lb mild sausage

tater tots

baked beans

ketchup

pancake mix

5 packs Borden uht milk

Teddy Grahms

Banquet crock pot meal

corn

mixed veggies

and more...

 

There are pickup sites throughout the country...this is good quality food (we just had pizza rolls for dinner) and a tax write-off for the companies involved, so everyone wins.  Why pay more if you don't need to?

 

The biggest reason we have found is pride...people don't want to be associated with anything that might be percieved as "poor" or "charity" or such which is nonsense.  The website makes it clear everyone is welcome, their goal is to give relief to everyone amidst rising food costs. 

 

Like everything else we do, we sat in the background watching, reading, and talking to other to make sure this was tried and true and not too good to be true.  Well, here is our testimonial...Good on ya' Angel Food Ministries. 

 

Any questions?  Write us and ask...
