Angel Food Ministries

Take 2
I had this all written out and it suddenly deleted with only saving the first line in a draft. booo on that one. Oh well let's try this again.


So a couple of weeks ago when we were facing a possible government shut down I decided to look more into food options for my family. I've never been a hard core coupon cutter that I wish I was. But I do try to save my family money buy grocery shopping at literally 3 different stores to get the savings I need. (not saving gas though) I would so love to live back in Texas again in the country where I could be completely self sufficaint. But I live in an apartment / soon to be government housing on a military base in Georgia and thats just not in the cards for us. So what could I do? Thankfully I didn't have to wait long to have an answer. While on Facebook one day a friend posted a link (and I will a little later) for Angel Food Ministries.


A.F.M is a non profit organization that helps families all over the world afford good healthy food at HALF the retail price. They also have links to support a soldier's family that when I do have the extra cash I'm going to do. And food boxes that keep children fed with the No Child Goes Without food program. I ordered for the first time a few days ago and I pick up my food April 23rd. The day after we sign papers for our government quarters. I will update as soon as possible with pictures but I have a list of what we have bought so far and it's a TON of food.



This is what we orderd and it came out to $140.00 = $2 conveinece fee for ordering online.

And I'll update more with how it goes.
