How does someone get an event or a sale included in Ms. Cheaps column?
First of all, let me know in plenty of time at least two weeks before your desired publication day and make sure that whatever you’re pitching is free or a really good deal. And please include a daytime phone number so I can call you if I have questions. My e-mail address is mscheap@tennessean.com, or you may call me at 259-8282. How do I get in touch with the organization that provides the cheap boxes of food every month? It’s Angel Food Ministries, and there are more than a dozen churches in our area that provide the $25 boxes of food (a mixture of frozen, fresh and refrigerated meats, vegetables and breads) one Saturday a month. There is no income requirement or any paperwork to be filed, and it’s open to anyone who wants to get a lot of food for a good price. The way it works is that you call or go by and order your food early in the month and pay in advance. Then on the distribution day, you go and pick it up. It’s quick, easy, and there’s no tax on the food. For more information
