OT: How about $65 in groceries for $30? It's not a scam.

My church has been involved with this for several years. It's called AngelFoodMinistries. Biggest misconception is that this is for poor people. Of course, three a persons of all economic situations who participate.

It's a once a month deal. Participants place an order for $30 dollars each month and pick it up on a designated Saturday morning. The box of food will feed a family of four for approximately a week, or a Senior citizen for approximately a week.

Once the basic box is ordered, there are specialty boxes with meats, fruits, veggies, whatever that can be purchased additionally to the basic box.

If you'd like to check out the menu, locations or whatever, http://www.angelfoodministries.com/

Disclaimer: Though my family participates in this, I don't get anything if you do. This is just info in case you'd be interested. It's all non-profit. Some people are counting their pennies during this recession or depression or whatever it is.

hmmmm...that does seem odd. The Angel food truck for our area delivers the food to us early Saturday morning and we repackage it for the individual ordres and have it ready to be passed out by 10am Saturday mornings. The process works unbelievably well. We have enough volunteers to do the repackaging and passing out of food (and maintaining order with that many folks).
