Meat SAVINGS!

We have come across a new way of buying meat ...in bulk! We buy our meat from  Zaycon Fresh! Zaycon Fresh is a company that started in Spokane, Washington and was founded in 2009. All of their meat is 100% Hormone FREE. Their company is basically removing the middle man, and processing the meat 1-2 days before delivering to you, the buyer.  To buy from Zaycon Fresh you first sign up for free ----->  here, and then you are able to look up your area to see what is currently available for purchase and when event dates are scheduled. 

I buy my meat usually 1-2 months in advance, depending on what I need. You pay at the tone of placing your order and then wait until scheduled pick up. They are very good about sending you reminder emails or texts regarding your upcoming event. Good Morning America did a segment on Zaycon foods. Here is a video explains how Zaycon works. 

We have bought chicken and beef so far from and have been very happy with it! Two weeks ago I picked up a box of 40 lbs of 80/20 beef. If you think that is too much for one family split a box with a friend or family member!  
At this location they had the truck waiting in a church parking lot.

The nice thing about Zaycon Fresh is that you do not need to get out of the car! They load it in your car or trunk for you! As you can see today was a rainy day so that was nice I didn't have to get out of the car and load the meat! 

This beef came in 4, 10 lbs tubes of fresh beef. This time we bought 80/20 beef on sale for $2.50 per lb. They also sell 93/7 beef but went with this since it was on sale. 

It only takes Andrew and I about 30 minutes from start to finish to bag up the 40 lbs of beef. 

We use our food scale and quart size freezer bags for storage.

After we bag up we wash our hands,  seal bags,  and press the air out of them and flatten them for easy storage in the freezer.  Here you have the end result!

Zaycon Fresh is very efficient and honest company as well. As we weighed out the 40 lbs of beef I noticed I was about 1 lb off. I went to the website to send them a message telling them I was short and I already had a message that stated the count was a little off this delivery and have a credit waiting for me for next time!

I totally would recommend Zaycon Fresh to any of my friends and family. I do still buy meat occasionally at the store particularly specialty items. Check them out and let me know if you have any questions. Feel free to leave a comment if you have tried Zaycon and give us your reviews!
