I think I posted up about this before, but times have changed since then, people have been laid off, and still have mouths to feed and food isn't cheap!
$100 doesn't go very far at a grocery store, but $100 will get you plenty with Food Share America (https://www.sharecolorado.com/index.cfm?action=homepage). This is definitely a an awesome deal, Barn told me about it a while back and started ordering food for the past 6 months or so and I have saved so much money! The food is quality, not expired, and you get a lot of it.
So if you're one of those unfortunate people who got laid off, or just want to save money, you should give this a try.

Good post, J-Rod. It's a great program that I learned about when I was working for Adams County.

Incidentally, if you're an Adams County resident, you are entitled to get entirely *free* food from the County, as well. It's a separate deal, from the Food Share Colorado program, but it's along the same lines.

PM me for more details, if it's something that can help you. :up:

So you order food for the whole month?

Well the food pick up is monthly, so you can order enough food to last you a month, a week, or a day, its up to you.
I still have to go to the store for a few things like eggs, milk, and a few other things I don't get through this program.

Wow, I will be looking at this more closely, for sure. I'm looking to cheapen up my food costs a bit, especially with my new vehicle purchase...
