If you know me, then you know that I love to save money!! Our church participates in the monthly Angel Food Ministry and I kept hearing about it and how great it was. The fact that there are no qualifications and all you pay is $30 and you get a lot of food. Several people at my church told me that it was worth it. So I decided to try it, especially with gas prices going up and now even in the grocery store just about everything has at least gone up about .20 cents!! Which adds up pretty quickly! I have been so excited about getting this food because it was only $30. I have been counting down the days until today, to when I could go pick it up :)
I am basically writing this post for all those that have been interested in doing it as well. I know my mom was curious and Annie (well, mainly Josh) :) were interested too! So I went to pick it up today and I took a picture for all of you to see. The "menu" changes every month so you don't get the same food every month.
This month's "menu" (which is what I got) included: frozen green beans, frozen vegetable stir fry, dry pinto beans, pork and beans, mac and cheese, chicken fried rice, cookies, eggs, milk, frozen pizza, frozen pork loin fillet, 4 frozen steaks, frozen chicken, frozen chicken nuggets, frozen ground beef, frozen cheese bratwursts, and frozen french fries. Picture below.
Now hopefully all this food will be good! I will get to expand my cooking skills as well. Seeing as I have never fixed a pork loin fillet and I'm not sure if I know how. I have never cooked with any kind of dry beans so that will be a new one as well. They gave me next month's menu when I went and it looks like some good stuff too!
I don't know a lot about the Angel Food Ministry but I think proceeds go to some of our local apartments here in town. (Please correct me if I'm wrong Micah or Tracy if you are reading this)
So you get a lot of food for a great price and then it also helps others out.
Well have a great weekend everyone! We are going on a group date night (no kids) with some friends and I can't wait, it's gonna be fun!

YAY! I was looking at the website of a host place here in town and it's amazing to me how much food you get! So, I can't wait to hear how it is....
How's MO treating you?
Holy Cow that's a lot of food! Not only is it a lot for the money, but I would actually eat a lot of that stuff. Ok, I think I am convinced that Josh and I will have to try it. I appreciate you posting this and taking a picture too :)
