Is the high price of groceries getting you down?

Over there on the left on my "link list" are some websites that will help you feed yourself and your family tasty, healthy meals for less money.

Hillbilly Housewife is amazing. I notice she hasn't updated her emergency $45 menu since 2006, so it's pretty out-dated. I imagine it would be more like $60 now, at least. If you had a totally empty cupboard and four mouths to feed, this would start you out in style. (Note: that emergency menu doesn't allow for booze or cigarettes; if you can afford those, you aren't broke enough yet to need Hillbilly Housewife's emergency menu.)

Five Dollar Dinners is a site I just discovered this week, and there are recipes there that I can't wait to try out. From that site I went on to find Mommy Snacks, another money-saving website that I have to look into today, with links to coupons and good buys. You'll find links on all these websites that will save you more money!

Perhaps not all of you have heard of Angel Food Ministries, so I'll include it here also. For $30 you get a lot of food, including quite a bit of meat. Cliff and I don't avail ourselves of it because it has some pretty salty, highly-processed foods. If it weren't for his heart issues and our ages, though, you can bet your sweet bippy I'd take advantage. There are no income requirements; it's for everybody. If you're a hungry atheist, never fear! Although the food is delivered to and picked up at churches, nobody will try to convert you... as far as I know. If someone says "God bless you" as they hand you the grub, you can always turn a deaf ear. OK?
