Just got a flyer from this company.  Pretty nice selection of meat and seafood.

Anyone here tried them yet?

Pretty good discount for first time buyers.

I've never heard of it.  Looks interesting.  I like that you can see what they offer--except you can't see the prices which I don't like.

Looks like it is owned by Hellofresh.  That says nothing to me about quality/reliability, but it may to you.

Have not tried.   Got on and started to play with it.

 

Going with the “20% more savings,” and dividing the cost by the listed maximum weight it’s about 8.50 a pound.

 

Getting on and fiddling, to get to the listed maximum weight you need to select options that come with a 2-3 lbs order: hotdogs, pre-cooked meatballs, chicken drum lets, ground beef.   None of these is a great deal at 8.50 a pound.   There is of course no cap on the number you may add to any order.

 

There are a couple options where you can have a large potion (16oz) on a premium cut (porterhouse and T-bone) but there is a cap of two per order.   These are probably the best deal, although that’s about as much steak as we eat in a year at the Dr Teeth household (oldest son would be thrilled)

 

Seafood is a bit tougher to price out.   Frozen shrimp (which I am rather fond of) are 40-50 count.   1 lb per order, so about 17.00 a pound.   This is not a great deal at all in this neck of the woods.   Scallops are 12oz serving, so north of 20 bucks a pound.   Again not great.   Black Cod and Steelhead aren’t regularly for sale around here so I can’t really comment

 

Overall.   It’s interesting, a good deal more even than Whole Foods around here.   I would need someone to tell me the quality is remarkable to be seriously interested, although it could be fun to try.
