We've been buying food from them for about 2 years now and have been amazed with how much it's cut down on our food expenses during the month. We've also been pleasantly surprised at the overall quality too.

 

our only issue with angel food is that so much of it is so processed. It simply wouldnt be worth it for us because of that reason unfortunately.. Now if they had a box of whole foods or unprocessed foods i would certainly use them on occasion

I agree. The ingredient list for the rib eyes doesn't sound too appetizing.

 

I love Angel foods ministries, we have talked our whole family into getting the boxes. We have been thinking about getting the meat box but didn't know how it would look, thank you for posting pics. How is the quality of the meats that you received in that box? Is it the same as the rib-eyes? Have you every ordered one of the fruit and vege boxes, how are they? My children really love the dill flavor in the chicken tenders, they have a very unique flavor that is wonderful served with fetticini and alfredo sauce.

For those of yall that have been ordering for a while, do you order more than one main box and maybe hold it over to the next month to rotate your menu or do you serve the same menu every week for that month? I homeschool so the boxes are basiclly for childrens lunches right now, but I have thought about ordering one of the senior boxes for the childrens lunches and 2-3 boxes to rotate throughout our monthly menu.

How is the quality of the meats that you received in that box? WE have had no issues, the quality is quite goodIs it the same as the rib-eyes? yes it is. Have you every ordered one of the fruit and vege boxes, how are they?Never ordered one, because it is actually cheaper most times to buy the components seperately at the local store My children really love the dill flavor in the chicken tenders, they have a very unique flavor that is wonderful served with fetticini and alfredo sauce. They remind me of the Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.

For those of yall that have been ordering for a while, do you order more than one main box and maybe hold it over to the next month to rotate your menu or do you serve the same menu every week for that month? We usually order 1 and rotate it into our normal food for the month, and add a meat box, depending on what is offered I homeschool so the boxes are basiclly for childrens lunches right now, but I have thought about ordering one of the senior boxes for the childrens lunches and 2-3 boxes to rotate throughout our monthly menu.

Quite alright, It is always nice to share information with someone who is interested! :

 

Thanks for the picts. My wife chhurch just got involved with this a month or 2 ago and your post answers some questions. Also she going to put some of the flyers out at our daughters daycare and to the parents of her Brownie Scout Troop.

 

Bump for new folks.

 

I think Angel food is a great program, but I believe I could buy much more food then that for $30 and it would be much healthier.

For example instead of a box of instant potatoes I could buy a 5lb bag of real potatoes for $2.49 - $2.69. That 5 lb bag of potatoes can go a long way. Instead of cookies and waffles I could buy fruit and veggies. Instead of the salsbury mystery meat and chicken butt nuggets I could buy real chicken drumsticks in the family packs for a couple of bucks. My other staples would be pasta, rice, and beans.

 

I agree, it does depend on the month. Some menus are better than others. that's why before we order, I have my grocery computer (GF) look over it with me!

 

Now if I didn't care about my health I could spend that $30 on 7 cases of ramen and some crackers and eat for a month.:thumb:

 

And still have enough left over for a few cans of slim jims...LOL

 

That doesn't look like a bad deal at all for what you get. I went to their site and looked at the other packages. The seafood package is quite a savings, at least compared to my local prices. I think I'm going to get involved in this too. I have a distribution point in an area that I frequent anyway. Thanks for bumping this.

 

We'll be picking up our first box this week, and have sent the link to family and friends. Thanks for the review!

 

As much as I love Angel Food Ministries for what they do and offer, I have found that I can buy more food, and feed my whole family of 5 for 10 days for $30. I think their program is great, though. I do agree with the person that said too much processed food, some of the boxes I've seen people get have way too many things in it we would never eat.
