Angel Food Ministries

Are you familiar with Angel Food Ministries? It is a non-profit grocery assistance program that is available to everyone!

I often have people tell me that they want to spend less on their monthly household expenses, but they don't have time to clip coupons and seek out sales. I totally understand this. Coupon clipping is not for everyone in every stage or circumstance of life. But there are lots of savings strategies that families can utilize without ever clipping coupons. Angel Food Ministries is one of those strategies.

Here's how it works:

1. Find a local distribution site.

2. Check out the monthly menu and decide what your family needs.

3. Make your monthly order with the host site before the order deadline. (Payment is due when you order)

4. On distribution day, take a large box or bin to your distribution site and pick up your food. To save time and energy, you can pay for the next month's order on pick-up day if you like.

Angel Food Ministries is generally a very good deal for just about anybody's grocery needs, especially because it always includes plenty of meat, fruits and vegetables: items that very rarely go on sale or have coupons. For families that are not couponing, it is a fantastic deal for the amount of food you get. The key is that you must commit to using all the food and not letting it go to waste, even if it's something that is not a standard menu choice for your family.
