Angel Food meat quality

Mom and Dad of 10 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:26:34 GMT

It's been almost a year since I ordered Angel Food because we were getting ready to move and I had a BIG food stockpile that needed to be eaten down. I see a lot of changes on the AF site and I know they had a shake-up of sorts at their headquarters and other changes.

I wondered if the quality of their meat has improved as well? In the past the bags of chicken "nuggets" often held nuggets heavily breaded and mostly the size of the tip of my little finger, the rib eye steaks were preserved with ricin (sp?) and didn't chew like natural meat, and the pork chops were the trash "end cuts" you can get for 99 cents a pound in the grocery store. Dh really likes his meat and got tired of the low quality meats. The kids didn't care that the nuggets were almost all breading and so small, but I did.

So . . . be honest. How's the meat these days? I'm really trying to decide if I want to get started with Angel Food again or not.

Will Angel Food or Other Programs Save You Money?

Brandy — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:21:17 GMT

So there is an Angel Food distribution center near you and you are ready to start saving with an order!

Wait! Before you get excited about any food program or co-op, look the foods over carefully to be sure you will use most of them. Wasted food is not much of a savings. While many across America are lowering their grocery bills by using Angel Food, SHARE and other programs, it does not mean you absolutely will save as well. Make sure you will spend less.

Bring your Angel Food menu list to the grocery store to get a real price check on what these items would cost there. The prices that these programs charge are based on what they spend and on averages. Some areas have fantastically low food prices or great resources for cheaper food and you may be one fortunate enough to live in such an area.

Use those numbers to be sure you still save if there are items in the boxes that you will routinely not use. Be sure to find a source you can pass those items to like a food pantry or a friend.

Don't forget the stay out of stores and spend less trick. Some people find this kind of system works and saves them money overall even if they could find like products for less than Angel Food charges for a box. There is no impulse shopping to add to the total spent when you arrive at your distribution center as you have preordered and are only picking up the boxes.

The convenience of ordering a large amount of food and having a quick pick up once a month may actually be worth money to some people. The best savings on foods bought in the stores often comes with price matching, coupon clipping and shopping in a variety of stores. Some folks on the go don't have this kind of time and struggle to fit in weekly dashes into a local grocery store. Angel Food is a cheaper option than other sources of foods that can be ordered.

If your nearest distribution is not near your home, estimate the cost of fuel for pick ups and compare what you spend on trips to the grocery store. These costs are a deciding factor for many when they look at the figures in black and white.

If you don't believe Angel Food, SHARE or the program you are considering will save you money then you likely are getting very good deals. Please check our general food forum and our shopping forum for discussions on coupons, great deals and other savings tips.

If you believe you will save money using the program then it's time to get excited! It's also time to move to the next step and begin planning your order.

Re: June Cooking with Angel Food

puglover — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:27:33 GMT

I bought the May package and am so exicited, it is such a bargain. I think I will definitely buy at least 1 for June plus one of the specials. I am with Liz as I can see a lot of good grill meals, and the frozen carrots my DD & DGKs love cooked in butter with some brown sugar. The boxed milk I plan on using when we go camping. I really like the steaks because they are individually frozen, and easy to thaw and throw on the grill when it is just DH and me. My youngest DD love the beef fillet and she usually doesn't eat meat. The dessert are nice to as usually I don't buy desserts I make them.
