New way to get cheap groceries!!! Check this idea out.
I ran across this on one of my coupon forums and this is a pretty cool idea if you can budget for it. It is a food ministry open to anyone where you pay $25 a month and you get a box of groceries. The menu is posted on the website every month. They also have packages of meat for a separate price. For example; this month's menu is:
1) 3 lb. Chicken Breast Filets
(1) 2 lb. Pork Riblets
(1) 1 lb. Choice Ground Beef
(1) 3 lb. Breaded Frying Chicken
(1) 1 lb. Ground Turkey
(1) Pkg. Totino's Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
(1) 28 oz. Betty Crocker Crock Pot Classic
(1) 20 oz. Progresso Steak & Mushroom Soup
(1) 3 lb. Apples
(1) 7.5 oz. Macaroni & Cheese
(1) 7 oz. Biscuit Mix
(1) 8 oz. Pasta Salad Mix
(1) 2 lb. French Fries
(1) 16 oz. Cut Broccoli
(1) 16 oz. Corn-on-the-Cob
(1) 12 oz. Breakfast Cereal
(1) Dessert
(1) Dozen Eggs
You bring your own box to the site (usually a church) and they load you up! That is all you have to do. There is no limit on how many boxes you can purchase. Sign up on the website and find where they are distributing; also the date for your pickup.

I think this is a great idea, and considering the possible economic problems ahead, probably something that we all should consider joining; since they get the groceries from a (for me) fairly nearby state and have an independant web of transportation. Also; no tax!!!
I posted this in the Frugal Living Group; please come join us and learn or share frugal tips! Learn about couponing...it can save you a TON of money.
