Hiya Folks.
OK, so today I'm looking to see if I can get listed in the BIG GOO with "save money on groceries in Derby, KS." It's a long shot but if it works it might pay off for the Prairie Land Food Program we are so proud of here in Derby.
I made a huge mistake this last time when I ordered and should have ordered that prime rib roast again! We love that one and now are OUT. I'll have to make sure I have room in the freezer and hope that special pops up again soon.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. That roast is one of our favorites.
Be sure to visit Prairielandfood.com AND prairielandfoodderby.com to see what the food program is all about.
Have a great day!
EB :D

Save Money On Your Grocery Bill
Hi-Dee-Ho Folks.
Raining again in southern Kansas. It is that time of year, you know. We had a new roof put on last summer but have a leak already! I guess we will start the phone calling today to see what can be done to get that rectified. I'm sure the roofing company will come to our aid with no charge but you really never know for sure what guarantees you have. It seems more money goes out than you can ever count on.
Everyone these days is looking to save money in any way possible. Putting as much as they can "back for a rainy day." If you live in Kansas, Northern Oklahoma or Southern Nebraska you have a great chance to save on your grocery bill each month and either help build your nest egg or buy more and better foods for your family with those savings.
The Prairie Land Food program is designed to help families who need a boost by way of cutting food costs at a crucial time for Americans. All it takes is a little time each month, volunteered to help others or your community and you can save between 40% and 50% on some food items.
It is so easy, we've taken to enjoying the volunteer time as much as the savings. For every two hours of volunteer service we put in, we can buy around $40 to $50 dollars worth of groceries for $23.50 in Derby, KS. The amount paid is slightly different for different locations but we're talking a dollar or two, not five to ten dollars. For seniors, for families with several small children or anyone who needs to save on groceries their program is just the kick in the pants to get us moving! Your volunteer hours are worth a lot when you turn them into $$$ saved on groceries.
This month we redesigned a new web site for the local host site of Prairie Land Food and since my volunteer hours are as secretary for our Derby chapter too, we feel we are "giving back" and believe me, that makes us feel good. The economical nutritious foods add to our bottom line in savings each month too.
One of the meats in the April pack, the pulled pork is one of our favorites. We make sandwiches with bar-b-cue sauce or toss this meat into a casserole dish with onions, potatoes, carrots and cheese for a mouth watering treat. Very delicious! I have some great recipes for pulled pork and one of the best is using it in an omelette to replace sausage or ham.
We enjoy the food and the folks we've met through the Prairie Land Food program and hope to for many more years to come. This new blog is part of MY volunteer hours to qualify, by spreading the word about this great food program!
Ya'll have a great day.

Save On Groceries with The Prairie Land Food Program
Hello Folks.
It's a rainy day here in Derby, KS. Yesterday was better for several reasons. First, it didn't storm and rain the whole day! LOL Second, it was delivery day for the Prairie Land Food Program grocery packs, called "prairie packs."
The April 2009 "Prairie Pak" consisted of:
All Beef Hot Dogs
1 LB Lean Boneless Pork Roast
1 1/2 LBSLean Ground Beef (85 /15)
1 LBDeli Turkey Breast
12 OZ Pulled Pork in BBQ Sauce
20 OZTurkey Breakfast Sausage
1 LB Broccoli
Celery
Potatoes
3 LBS Onions
2 LBS Granny Smith Apples
5 Valencia Oranges
5 Dole Fruit Parfaits (Peach & Apple) - 4 / ea 7 OZ)
All the above foods for $23.50 for the first prairie pack and $23.00 for each pack added after the initial purchase. We always buy two prairie packs and that leaves only bread, milk, eggs, etc to purchase from the grocery store during about a two to three week period and sometimes for the whole month. Of course, there are only two people in our household and we always buy some of the specials too, to keep us in meat for a month.
The "Specials" for April were:
Special #1: "RIB O' RAMA" - $13.00
3 Pounds - Lean Tender F/C Pork Ribs in BBQ Sauce by TYSON
Special #2: "THE GOURMET CHEF SPECIAL” - $16.00
An assortment of "8" Gourmet Entree's (each individually wrapped) (Suggested retail - $50.00)
Special #3: "THE PRIME RIB" - $18.00
A beautiful 5 to 6 LB. super lean / boneless USDA Prime Beef Ribeye Roast - Only $3.60 per lb. (Suggested retail - $9.99 a lb)
Although the specials change from month to month, some stay around for awhile. Like the #3 Ribeye Roast. We have purchased these in muliples in the past and still had one in the freezer for this month. SO, for April we purchased the #2. I thought these would made nice lunches for Russ and I was right. He had one today and loved it!
We do have to buy additional vegetables and fruits elsewhere but participating in the The Prairie Land Food Program saves us an enormous amount of money on our grocery bill each month.
Just a note to tout how much we appreciate the program AND the savings!
