Zaycon
After hearing and reading rave reviews about Zaycon boneless chicken, I decided to be brave and give it a try! Based on the limited research I did, it seems to be pretty good quality meat, it is cheaper than Aldi, and Zaycon delivers to a location close to my house.
Have any of you ordered from them before? I just picked up my order this morning, so I’ll have to keep you updated on whether or not it gets the family’s stamp of approval. 😉
40lbs Fresh Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts – $67.60
Total: $67.60
{Note from Crystal: I asked Brigette to use her referral link in this post. If you are interested in trying out Zaycon, you can order through this link and Brigette will receive a $5 credit toward her next order.}
Weekly Total: $62.96, plus $67.60 Zaycon Order
(We have some money set aside – separate from the weekly grocery budget – for “bulk” purchases such as this. I usually end up spending $50-100 several times a year on things like 50# bags of wheat and oats, gallons of raw honey and coconut oil, etc.)
