Now, I have a different way of looking at things, as you may have noticed. I also tend to be a tad skeptical when it comes to claiming to get a good deal. Every month I go through the menu with “Liz Prices” in my head. I compare what I would pay, not what retail is. For instance, I don’t spend more than $2 per pound on meat, nor on fresh fruits and veggies. I understand that steaks are $5 a pound. That’s why I don’t buy them! If the total is the same or less than what I would pay, we get it. It may not save me any money, but it affords me some variety as well as quality in our meals. Here is how I would score this box:
Here is the March Menu.
($4) 2 lbs. Chopped Beef Steaks with Dijon Mustard (4 x 8 oz.)
($2) 1 lb. Bacon Wrapped Turkey Breast Filet Mignon (4 X 4 oz.)
($2) 1 lb. Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops (4 x 4 oz.)
($3) 2 lb. Macaroni & Beef Dinner Entrée
($4) 2.5 lb. IQF Split Chicken Breasts
($2) 1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
($1) 1 12" Supreme Pizza
($1) 1 lb. Frozen Peas & Carrots
($1) 1 lb. Frozen Whole Kernel Corn
($2) 2 lb. Fresh Apples
($2) 2 lb. Heat and Serve Broccoli & Cheese Soup
($3) 24 oz. Natural Cut French Fries
($1) 6.5 oz. Stroganoff Skillet Meal
($1) 1 lb. Rice
($1) Dozen Eggs
($1) Dessert
This gives me a Liz Price of $30
I would love to see what a great deal the folks with more expensive taste would get, but I'll be honest, I don't have a clue as to how much these items retail! I'll leave that research to you. If you'd like to read more about this ministry go to http://www.angelfoodministries.com/ Deadline to order with cash or check is March 17th to order online at http://www.questcommunitychurch.org/ deadline is 18th. Distribution date will be March 27th at 830 at Quest!
One last thing, this is not a hand out or restiricted to low income families. This is available to anyone from the homeless up to tycoons. No discrimination here!
Liz Price = Quality!
Please let me know what sort of savings you get from this box. I would love to know!
