Food program

[Mimi]

We ordered and will pick it up Saturday morning.  We will also order for next month at that time.  Our neighbors across the street have used it and she said the food was very good.  I can't wait to see what it looks like and
how it will taste.  We didn't fill out anything.  The lady at the church filled it all in for us and we paid and got a recipt.
It is amazing how much is going on and we don't know anything about it.  Everybody go save yourself some money.
You can use it for gas!!!

I guess I would be more willing to try this than Vegemite. 

   This happy little Vegemite takes offense to that!!!  My offer to send you some Chris still stands.  mmmmmmmmmmm

I should look up how much Vitamin D and Calcium it has to try to get more in my diet if they list those on the website. Right now, I don't feel like eating anything, but that maybe due to the meds I just took. I feel like  though. Maybe shouldn't have had a beer brat earlier today either.

When this thread first started, I checked the website and the nearest church involved in the program was over 30 minutes from my town.  Then just the other day when I was headed to a drs. appt. I saw a big sign on one of the churches in town announcing that they have started the program.  I have been passing the word around and hope this will help some folks I know.  thanks again Karol for passing this information along.

We pick up our next order on Saturday and I still have steaks and chicken left from the last order.  My son ordered every pack offered this time, so he could try all of it and then next time would know what and how much to order for his family.  My daughter has been doing it for several months and has cut her food bill in half.    Pelagia, I am glad you say the sign at the church.  My daughter says it is the best kept secret around.   She also works for the Aids Alliance and what we don't use, she takes to their food bank.

Many have used programs like this for years--it was just new to us and the church near us.  So we were very glad to discover and share the "secret"---just a figure of speech.  Next Saturday is our next pick up.  This time they offered a "senior pack"for $25.  It is 10 prepacked frozen meals- 3oz protein, 2 vegetables, fruit or dessert.  Perfect if you are eating alone, or to take to work.   I can really see a difference in my food budget.

Also, don't be afraid to look at food banks. I am on disability and right now cannot cover my bills. I went to the food bank at a local church. They provided me with 3 bags of groceries which will certainly help out as I have no money to cover food.

use tuna water can juice to pour on cheaper cat food---- Queen Ruth will never know
we got those ready to eat meals service men get    --- hurricane food
they were fun to heat
but the smell of the heating device got to me
but it was an experience
they had some small bottles of tabasco sauce that were so cute
I kept those and would not let anyone open them
we were saying that they feed A&M football players better than the men fighting for peace
and the servings sizes are small  ---- service men need more food

We got our first order last month and are scheduled to pick up another one next week.  Very pleased with it.

Just incase

I've been using this for the past few months.  I give some to my friends, and some of the dry goods that we have no interest in (pinto beans), I put in a box to go to the local food bank.  The food is excellent and I have actually gone back to cooking!  It's a definite win-win for several of us.

WOW!  I checked and there are two locations within 20 miles of me, both of my children have families and limited incomes...I can't wait to get involved in this.  Thanks to IHD I am further enlightened! (again)

Wenchie, this is a great program.  Like peloraja, I give away the items we won't use.  Actually, where we order ours from, there is a box at the exit that you can place unwanted items in and they give it to families who show up needing food.  We have had more steaks than in years!  We have been very pleased with everything.
