Farrar Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I keep seeing the ads for Butcher Box and a couple of others. Anyone tried them? Worth it? Not worth it? Honestly, buying meat at the store is my least favorite thing. The quality is cruddy at the Giant and the Safeway. It's fine at the Trader Joe's, but I don't tend to shop there as much. Also fine at the Costco, but then I have to portion it all up to freeze some, which I don't enjoy, though really it's a minor annoyance.

itsheresomewhere Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 My subscription addiction has some good and honest reviews on it. A friend gets it as swears their bacon is the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familia Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Listening in... I saw a few negative reviews re: temp of meat at delivery, last year when I looked into them. I have come to realize that no matter what the product, there are always going to be those scary, negative reviews. (scary b/c food safety is a big concern of mine) There is probably little validity to the complaints, or they were special circumstances, etc. Thanks for bringing this up, I would like to do this, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 my husband signed up for Butcher's box, and we've been impressed at how good the meat tastes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familia Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 ...goodness! That was a lot of money!! 😁 But, I just rushed to order right away, because you get a few free items & free shipping for life if you place your order within a quick time frame. I have been meaning to try it, thanks for the reminder. Ordered the bacon as @itsheresomewhere's friend suggests, and pleased that my IP baby back ribs will be a monthly staple since my box will likely not change each month, and I made sure to add them in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Husband buys from a specialist, high quality butcher online. We only eat meat two or three nights a week, so we've decided to go for quality. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Laura, that’s part of my thinking - maybe I’ll limit our meat consumption to what I buy for delivery if I try this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
