Ok So I've beeen busy. I happen to have a couple of children who keep me a little busy. LOL

I started doing this program called the SHARE PROGRAM a couple of months ago. I thought, this is great, I pay for food at the beginning of the month and it comes in at the end of the month. At first it sounds yucky, until you hear about the advantage of it. I paid $6.00 for 2.5 lbs potatoes, 2 lbs onions, 4 granny smith apples, half a stalk of celery, a small head of lettuce, and a medium sized head of broccoli. Sounds much better now doesn't it? It's run through a lot of churches and other charities. You should be donating your time for two hours a month to someone else. Either a organization or even a neighbor. They have a form you fill out, easy. You have to order and pay for your food up front, though, which is a little hard at first.

Some of the locations have restrictions such as you have to buy a minimum of the base pack or $18.00. It usually has several pounds of frozen meat in it also. I bought 10 lbs of breaded chicken breasts for $18.50 in March. I ususally get so much produce and meat, I spend about 2/3 as much if I was shopping retail, and it lasts all month! I still have food from February, so it stays good too!

I encourage everyone to search it and see if you can find one in your area or call 211 from a landline phone and talk to the nice people at the United Way, they know of so many great programs for people. But that is another blog, another time. TTFN :)
