The other day I received what I think will be my last Crowd Cow box. There’s a few reasons for this:

1. I want to cut down on my meat consumption
2. Crowd Cow has gotten a lot more expensive, especially compared to supermarket prices

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:

• 1 pound ground beef
• venison hot dogs
• 1.25 pounds of flank steak

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:

• 1 pound ground turkey (used in the meatloaf)
• 2x lemon-pesto salmon fillets (prepared as provided)

Underway:

• Wild boar hot dogs (2 of 7 consumed)
• Five-pepper sausage (1 of 4 consumed)
• Dill smoked salmon (halfway consumed)
• Tenderloin tips and tails (thawing to make mushroom beef stew)

Not yet started:

• 2 pounds ground beef
• Chili relleno pork sausge
• Venison hot dogs
• 1.25 pounds of flank steak
