Rambles that are fluffy, by fluffy
The other day I received what I think will be my last Crowd Cow box. There’s a few reasons for this:
The most recent box was particularly expensive. Here’s a cost breakdown, similar to last time.
It’s been a while since I’ve compared Crowd Cow to the grocery store in terms of price and quality. Maybe I should update things based on what I’ve been buying lately and how it compares to QFC.
My freezer is full again. Crowd Cow strikes again. (As always, click that link for $25 off your first box!)
Do I post too much about my personal life? Oh wait that’s why I have a blog.
The box o' meat progresses nicely.
Since the last update I’ve completed all of the meats that were underway, and have finished 1 of the pounds of ground beef (which made very good burgers) and the chili relleno pork sausage. So what remains:
So, this turned out to not be an entirely excessive amount of meat. And Crowd Cow does seem to be a pretty good deal in general.
A coworker asked how far along I am in my big box of meat, and so now my brain is distracted with taking an inventory.
Completed:
Underway:
Not yet started:
Oh yeah it all fit in my freezer without a problem. Also dry ice carbonation is scary, so I’m just gonna stick to my sodastream for that.
So far the only thing I’ve cooked from the box is a salmon portion, which turns out to be something that they carry at QFC for the exact same price, so, gonna skip that on future boxes (if any).
For Thanksgiving I’m probably going to make ground turkey and kale meatloaf wrapped in prosciutto. (The prosciutto came from QFC, full disclosure. And the ground turkey was just a thing I added to the box to push it over the free shipping threshold, although it was cheaper to get it that way than at QFC, to be fair!)
Thanks to seeing one too many YouTube videos where people talk about expensive, high-end meat, I decided to order a box of meat on Crowd Cow. And, wouldn’t you know it, they managed to get me to buy around $100 worth ($80 after all the piles of discounts though). It’s ostensibly a subscription box but given my usual level of meat consumption this is going to last me… well, a few months at least. So I guess I’m going to have to be very careful about making sure that I don’t end up with another big pile of meat in a month.
I have no idea if this is going to fit in my freezer. It arrives tomorrow. I also have a contractor (hopefully) finishing up my kitchen remodel. This will be interesting.
Anyway, with this Crowd Cow link you, too, can get $25 off your first box of high-end meat.
