Excellent video! “Ballin on a Budget!” I love your phrase! That’s me too! I’m gonna try Butcherbox once or twice because I have an offer on my American Express card for cash back if I try it twice. Thank you for this very informative RU-vid video!
Agree with the affordability aspect. I'm on a budget too and I only get the grass Fed grass finished items when they are marked down for sale at my local stores....thankfully I know when and how often my stores do the sale and mark downs so it hasn't been too hard finding those great deals....but even with a discount of $20 off at what like 6 or 7 pounds of meat in butcher box it's way too expensive...that comes out to roughly $11 per pound 😳 Not worth it....now if I was single with no extra mouths to feed and made $30 per hour from my job then I would consider ordering a few times per year. Sadly I think it's the "upper well to do income class" that will benefit most from butcher box.
It's only cheaper at Walmart because you're not getting top of the line food but the price $79 matching to $65 you mentioned in Walmart look at how much better quality you're getting just for a few more dollars got to think about that I don't buy no meat at Walmart ever I'd rather be a vegetarian.
I think it's convenient to have it delivered. The prices did go up during covid. I had one box that was thawing but it was during our summer heat wave. I'm sorry you had issues. If you're a smart shopper, you can shop the grocery store adds and save a lot of money.
The convenience is amazing lol I'm glad that it works for you! I know a lot of people who love it but my second box wasn't much better, unfortunately. ❤️
Definitely ballin on a budget around here, always been hesitant about the pricing on the butcher box as well as I looked into thrive market but I still just stick to Walmart. Occasionally Publix for buy 1 get 1 free deals
Totally agree with the affordability for the everyday person. It's all a matter of priority. For me, I want to save money. But guess what--I do get organic, excellent quality ground beef (maybe not grass fed/finished, but still)! I shop the clearance and I can get a pound of it for $0.99 which is unheard of in Los Angeles! I never buy full price unless we are totally out, I plan my meals based on the bargains I am able to pick up and we are well fed, our budget is not hurting, and it's healthy. 😁
Grass fed, humanitarian treatment were important to us, so we tried Butcher Box twice. We were not impressed. The beef was so tough & chewy I truly question the ethics of this company. We’ve eaten grass fed for a number of year but recently moved out of state. I thought it was a fluke, so I changed the cuts second time around and same issue. Tough, tough meat and I’ve cooked for over 40 years, I know how to tenderize meat, though I shouldn’t have to tenderize a filet. Awful experience!!
They never pack with dry ice! Had scallops completely thawed! The beef tastes like nothing, I think it’s old dairy cows cause the fat has a yellow color. Not worth it at all.
Beware!!!! Butcherbox is awful. They beef steaks are disgusting and not consistent. The bacon is so salty couldn’t take a second bite. Customer service is the absolute worst. Wait until u open flatiron steaks- there tiny-
