Has anyone ever ordered these steaks before? I am tempted as they are running a $149 value for $49. A good selection of meat in this offer. Is it shipped in dry ice or something else to keep them cool? Pappy
 

I've had them and they are carefully packed in a styrofoam cooler that is good enough to reuse.

IMO the new offers contain so many things other than steaks that I think you can get a better buy in a good butcher shop.

The only way to know for sure is to give them a try!
 
I received them as a gift about 7 or 8 years ago, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the meats.
 
What I would want to determine first of all, is how much is it per pound? If this cannot be determined per pound for each cut, I wouldn't go for it. How can you compare without that info? My friend was gifted with some and she said they tasted fine, but not that big a deal.
 
I enjoyed the [on sale] beef package, so I am now thinking about trying the poultry/seafood package.

Bang for the buck ?...I don't know, but stock the freezer ........and I need not got to the store for a while.
 
2 (5 oz.) Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons
1 (12 oz. pkg.) All-Beef Meatballs
8 (2.88 oz.) Potatoes au Gratin
1 (24 oz. pkg.) Rustic Roasting Vegetables

I think that is the Holiday special

To begin with wrapping filet in bacon should be a misdemeanor offence. Filet if Prime or USDA choice doesn't need bacon to add tenderness when prepared.
Then there is the all beef meat balls, All beef can be any part of the steer, or the same kind of advertisement you see for hot dogs.
Not much value for me in those two.

Veggies Really? The quantity would probably be less than $4.00 for brand name similar items.

All in all it's up to you. For me I'd rather go to Smith's or Albertsons and buy the same items at about 1/2 the price.

Recently Albertson's had USDA choice porterhouse steak on sale for $5.95 a lb. An inch & 1/4 thick I bought 30 lb. to stock up. I like the non filet part my wife like the filet. It's all in what is perceived as value. I cut out the meat before BBQ'ing to boil the bones for beef broth. No waste!

Following that link it lists that package for $49.99, that's ridiculously expensive for what amounts to two 5oz filet mignons and some mixed veggies. Like King said, who knows what "all beef" means in the meatballs?? Even if you're buying filet mignon at $25 per lb (which is high) at your local butcher shop, 10oz would only cost $15.60 and you'd be saving money over this package. I'd much rather see what I'm buying as well.
 
This is a rip off- $50.00 for what? After you remove the bacon, you have 2 tiny 4 oz pieces. wow.

Look at the meatballs- not even a pound of ground beef, and NO fat to lean percentages to be found. 12 oz package = 12 meatballs. Serving size is 3 meatballs but look at the calories from fat- 210 per serving! No wonder they hide the fat to lean ratio!All beef, but mostly fat and don't forget the added breadcrumbs, water, whey, broth etc. so how many actual oz of meat is there? Not 12 oz.that's for sure!

The potatoes au gratin. Weight is 2.88 oz. for 4, they cost $12.00 or $1.04 per oz! No nutrition is listed, no ingredients list which I think may be against the law. How much potato, cheese and whatever else is in there?

The rustic baking vegs, 24 oz, no price per oz. ingredients: Potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery. Big deal.

Is is all from Knight's link above. Seems the company deliberately leaves out info to make it difficult to compare or even determine how much these items cost per each.

I've never ordered any sort of meat and have no plans to do so.....purchasing something like meat sight unseen doesn't sound all the appealing to me.

BTW.....I can handle being called a murderer for one of these.

We ordered them once many, many years ago and weren't impressed with the quality of the steaks. We often get really good boneless rib-eyes at places like Costco or in the local markets.
