Food...MMMM.....

In this time of economic recession everyone is looking for a way to save money, and your food budget should be examined. Recently I began looking for ways to cut back and discovered "Share Food". It is not a charity and there are no income guidelines! This is a nationwide program and it is likely that there is a distribution center in your area. Do a google search for Share Food and your city to find your nearest center. Basically you volunteer one hour for the program (unloading a truck, boxing food, checking the receipts etc.)once a month and get a deep discount on meat, vegtables and fruits. They have two levels of packages. One is 18$, the other is 22$. You can order as many units as you would like. It's great if you have a deep freezer and want the extra meats. There are also extra items that can be bought. Here is what we got this month for 58$
