Zaycon

This is my first time buying Ground Turkey from Zaycon – and once again, I am quite pleased with my purchase! It tastes good and has a good texture (I did have to add a little water – oil would work too – to the pan when I was frying it, as it isn’t fatty at ALL). It comes in 40 individually wrapped 1lb packages. It is already frozen – although the “packaged on” date was just about a week old (which I’m guessing is a whole lot fresher than much of the frozen meat you buy in the store!). I would definitely buy it again in the future! 🙂 If you haven’t tried Zaycon , I highly recommend it!

40lbs of 90/10 Ground Turkey – $87.60, minus $19.27 from a Promo Code they were offering = $68.33

used $68.33 in Referral Credits

Total: FREE after Promo Code and Referral Credits

Grocery Total for the Week: $73.96
