Where's the Beef?


Dear Dad and Lin,

Thank you again so much for your generous Christmas gift! We picked up our meat on Saturday. Our freezer is CHUCK full.

We love you,
Brandon, Steph and kids.




In case you are wondering all this meat came from Sniders Family Meats in Ogden Utah. It is a local family owned butcher. We were so thrilled when we got our gift certificate for Christmas! I started to do some research as I have never actually shopped for meat at Sniders. It's pretty $$$$. If you haven't figured it out by now I like to save as much money as I possibly can so I compared and crunched lots of numbers and made several phone calls.

Turns out if you order one of Snider's Bulk Packages you save anywhere from 15-20% off their regular prices for the same cuts bought separate. I also found a $10 coupon online! Imagine that. LOL
So for $2.95 out of my pocket I got:

12 lbs lean ground beef
5 lbs steaks
5 lbs boneless chuck roast (2 roasts)
5 lbs boneless pork roast (2 roasts)
7 lbs fryers (2 whole chickens)
7 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breast


We have a total of 80, yes EIGHTY, pounds of meat in the freezer and I am beside myself with joy that I don't have to worry about buying any meat for our meals for at least 3 months if I don't want too. We are SO blessed! <3
