Prairie Land Food Program In Derby, KS

Hi-Dee-Ho Folks.

Rain, rain and more friggin' rain. It's spring in Kansas alright. The flowers are starting to put on a great show however in my yard, the dandelions are outshining the lawn. Too Bad, so sad. LOL

I love the spring but with the rain sometimes, the grass does not get mowed as soon as it should. Oh well, we survive, don't we?

Once again I'm here to tout that your volunteer hours can bring payment in the way of saved dollars on your grocery bill each month. The Prairie Land Food Program allows you to turn in those hours in exchange for food packages called "Prairie Packs." There are about 6 meats, several fresh vegetables, several fresh fruits, sometimes some packaged surprises and one dessert item (usually). We always get two of these packs (at least) and some of the specials so we have meat for the month in the freezer. Savings around 40% to 50% on the items is a great way to have more to spend elsewhere.

We've eaten the fresh broccoli we received and the pulled pork. Time to bake up some of the chicken that came. I use the leg packages to make chicken 'n' noodles for The Russter (I have to be on a glutton free diet [sicko here], but I sometimes cheat) but he can enjoy the oodles of noodles and I can still have some of the chicken with my greens.

It's nice to have the dough to go out to eat once in awhile and saving on our monthly food bill helps us do exactly that!

Keep your feet dry, if you can but think about saving with our food program!

Smile, it'll only rain for about another month...
