Grocery Shopping and Killer Deals on Quality Meats with ButcherBox
I wouldn’t say I like grocery shopping. It’s always crowded, I can never find the item I need, and the parking lot is hair-pulling stressful to avoid being hit or hitting someone. Alas, biology requires that I eat, so I have been going through the routine for years now (thanks adulthood).
However, with Brooke being pregnant and the pandemic, we became super conscious of our exposure to the world. I gladly decided to cut grocery shopping off the to-do list. We started getting our groceries delivered, and it was the best! Well… it was the best until I saw the steaks that the shopper chose for me. Super fatty chunks with no marbling. Yuck
Then ButcherBox hit us with a timely ad. I was intrigued because I had seen some articles describing grass-fed beef vs regular farm beef being healthier for you. I decided to subscribe because they had an awesome deal that got us ground beef added to our box each time we ordered. Let me tell you, it’s the BEST GROUND BEEF! My goodness, this stuff makes the best homemade burger (side note we didn’t like the premade burger patties, just get the ground beef). I didn’t even realize the quality of my meat previously was so sub-par. Truly opened my eyes up to the bar of quality beef we were eating. Think of it as the difference between gas station sushi and a quality sushi restaurant.
Did not take us long before we stopped ordering meat from our grocery delivery entirely. ButcherBox was just such quality, whatever we ordered. We also got much more adventurous with the meat we ordered. No longer was it just a chicken breast and ground beef, which is all I’d ever buy at the grocery store. Now we were getting ribeyes, St Louis ribs, pork butts, chuck roasts, chicken drumsticks, and filets. They also offer different deals each month and have started adding seafood into their options although I haven’t tried that yet. The variety helped us enjoy cooking more and allowed us to save money by not ordering takeout as often. Another way that we increase our variety is by checking out their frequently updated member-only deals. I always check it before the next box and if something piques my interest I easily add it to the box. They usually have the cuts of meat around the time of year for holidays. Think turkeys for Thanksgiving, Corned Beef for St Patrick’s day, etc.
When we first started, ButcherBox had some issues with their packaging; we would receive the meat, and packaging would be broken on a couple of items. That being said, every time we reached out to ButcherBox, they would credit us on our next box without any questions. That type of customer service is hard to ignore, and we will be customers for life because of it. We’ve definitely noticed a significant improvement in their packaging lately and rarely have issues now. In fact, they even have started to be conscious of their eco-packaging, which we are excited to see.
Now you can have the same killer deal that we got when we first started out. Ground Beef for LIFE! That’s right, every time you order a box (we do ours monthly), you will get an order of ground beef added to your box FOR FREE! Just click on the link below and sign-up. Give it a try today and see if the ground beef is not some of the best meat you’ve ever had.
