RE: SERVE New England / SHARE

[Guest guest]

Even on meat:

what is the marinade (most likely soy based with wheat)?

Are the hot dogs GF (or any other allergen free)?

You'll have to ask that question of the program (and probably repeat every

month).

The bacon and ground beef are probably fine ... but I wonder if you'd even

save money vs. carefully buying on sales (even if you could use the whole

package). If they package these items themselves, you'll also want to ask

about CC issues (is there any posssibility of CC with the marinaded meat,

say by the same gloved hands, etc).

At least the family meal has a bunhc of produce - it will all be naturally

gf (and easily washed off if you are concerned about any CC issues).

In the past, when we'd easily use the whole package as a family,

it was a great deal price-wise. Now I have to wonder if I could

use it well. I'm not a good sale shopper. I don't have patience

for reasearching the sales and shopping in more than one spot.

When I go into my regular store and happen to hit upon a sale

just by happenstance, I feel like I've won a lottery I didn't even

know I entered. My life is such that I really seem to only fit

in shopping in one place.
