How to Get Inexpensive Groceries - SHARE Wisconsin
Here's a place we've been using for a while - ShareWi.com. ShareWi is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization that offers groceries at a discount price.
This place has saved us a lot of money!
Every month, we place an online order for the groceries we want. (You can also mail in a paper form.) On the form, we note the date and the place to pick up the food. When the day arrives, we pick up our groceries - normally at Immaculate Conception church in Bay View. Sometimes we can just walk in and grab our groceries. Sometimes we have to wait in line. But every time, it is WELL worth it.
For example, last month, for about $20.00, my family took home two bags of groceries. These bags included fruits (apples, oranges, and pears), vegetables (onions, corn niblets, and cabbage), meats (pork chops, chicken breasts, sandwich meat, chicken nuggets, and bacon), and a bag of potatoes.
This place is great. Not only does ShareWi offer a great deal to the communities in this area, this organization also helps families - like mine - eat better during a time when it is just way too easy to just pick up fast food in between afterschool activities.
