Where To Find Half Price Groceries – Show #41
Yes, I like to talk about ways to cut your grocery bills. There are many shows in my archive that are dedicated to that topic but that’s because we all need to feed our families and there are multiple ways to save money.
This week I discovered two non-profit organizations that provide pre-set food packages to families who are in need or who need to save some money during these tough times.
The first is Angel Food Ministries. It was started in 1994 and has grown to multiple sites across the US. You can order different size food packages, each for a set price but you must order by the deadline and you will receive a specific date and time to pickup the order. There are no restrictions to ordering based on income and they even accept food stamps.
The second is the Share Food Program. This is a very similar program with different sized food packages, set prices, and order deadlines. I’ll have to get back to you about whether or not they accept food stamps.

I’ve heard about the Angel Food Ministries program before but never gave it much more thought than that. But now I’m going to take advantage of this program, which thankfully is available in our area, because one of the hardest things for me financially every month is grocery shopping. At least I know with $30.00 I’ll have enough food for several meals. Great show Chele.
