Would you like to save 30-50% on your Grocery budget every month?

If you have never heard of “Share”, you have been missing out, and boy have we been missing out!  I say “we” because I recently tried out Share Wisconsin or http://www.sharewi.org/ for the first time and boy have I been missing out.  It was very simple, all I did was went the website in early January and placed an order online.  This past Saturday morning I picked up my order pre-boxed and took it home.  Yep, it was that simple and I must say I am VERY impressed.  Here is what I received in my order

Everything listed below was only $46 and much of it is from local Wisconsin companies.

Meat Department

1lb Ground Turkey

1lb Whole turkey breast

1lb Chicken tenderloins

1lb Pollack filet

1lb cooked roast beef

1lb Pork Chops

1lb Smoked sausage and cheese

Organic Produce

1lb carrots

1 bag of 3 romaine hearts

3lb bag of apples

4lb bag of oranges

5lb bag of potatoes

4 bosc pears

Standard Produce

1lb carrots

1lb onions

4 bosc pears

2 grapefruit

5 oranges

1lb potatoes

5 apples

1 head of cauliflower soup

Misc

1 lb frozen vegetables

1 can of cranberry sauce

Now everything listed above was just what I picked off of a list, there was much more I could have purchased and all of it at a savings of 30-50%.  Doing my own research showed a few of these items were closer to a 60% savings which is really impressive.  Each month there is a different list of items available, so if something does not pique your interest this month check back next month.

If you are interested in testing out the Share program, it’s very simple.  Head to http://www.sharewi.org/ and click the link on the right hand side of the page “shop online” under the heading “How to Order”.  This will take you to the ordering page.  The very first link on this page is says “Click Here to get started”.  Click this link and an online order sheet will pop up that you can enter in quantities of items you would like to order.  Now, if you are like me and do not always read everything please be aware that the items on the list do not have descriptions, but if you leave your mouse pointer on the item for a few seconds a description will pop up giving you an idea of what the item will be.  It’s as simple as that.  Now if you do not like to use a credit card online you can also use a mail order form.

Here is a small look at February’s deals, there is a total of 22 items on the list here are some I may purchase this month.

Gerber cut up chicken 2.20lbs $6.95 – Ohio Amish family raised vegetarian feed chicken, antibiotic and hormone free tray packed whole cut up chicken.
