It's easy to start. Just go to www.angelfoodministries.com and put in your zip code. It'll bring up the churches in your area that participate. You pay by a certain date and then pick up on a certain Saturday morning. The menu changes each month so you get a lot of variety. It really can stock up your freezer!!!

If you go to hillbillyhousewife.com there are menus that incorporate the foods that you get in your angel packages. They are super easy recipes

I shop at the goodwill store every week on Wednesdays. That's senior/discount day and my mom loves to go shopping

We garden, canning and preserving. Sell eggs, don't eat out anymore, don't rent movies, cut wood and sell it to my brother, downgraded our internet service. Cut coupons, shop the sells for food, buy discounted day old stuff when availble, don't buy name brand food. Give my kids haircuts instead of paying to have them done. That's all I can think about at the moment but I'm sure there's more.

Edit to Add: We reuse feed sack for trash instead of buying the plastic ones

I heard about it on here too! How funny....I saw it one nite and called about it the next morning. I got in right under the cut off date. So I ordered just one box to try it out. I was soooo happy with the one box that now I order 3 boxes a month. It really does help alot. I plan my menu around the boxes and then go to the grocery store to get the rest.

They are still doing that? I had them a few years ago, they were so awful when I canceled, kept me on the phone, were obnoxious, wouldn't take no for an answer just like you said. I finally got to 'no' but it was to the point where I had to be almost nasty towards them. I'm not usually like that, but they were practically holding me hostage. Talk about lousy business practice

.

Make them take no for an answer! Don't let them get away with being that obnoxious!

i had to close my checking account to get rid of them, they were taking money out every week,

My sister in law loaded AOL so she could talk to her friends when she moved here, it crashed our computer, we had to take it to a shop to get them to remove AOL off the system. It wouldnt let us acknowledge anything other that AOL. Stay away from those jerks for sure.

We had AOL when we had dialup, when dh and I met he already had it and wanted to keep it. I had bell south. When we got rid of our home phone they (aol) wanted to give us a hard time at first. then we told them we won't be able to go online and if they still try to charge us we will cancel our credit card. they ended up canceling it no problem. I took down who i talked to, when , time, all the info i could get from them and a confirmation number. be stearn and insist they do it. ask for a superviser if you have to . i have done that on phone calls where people don't want to help you. it helps when you get there 'boss' on the line!

if you get rid of aol, you can still use your aol email address for free. that is what i have and dh

I've quit allowing my children to eat. Next step?
Throw them out on their own.
