Zaycon foods

Okay, I've never dealt with Shamrock, but the website looks quite impressive! How do they compare to Sam's and Costco as far as quality of foodstuffs and cost?

Cheaper than Sam's in many cases.

Sam's chicken breasts are usually $2/lb, I get them from shamrock at just above $1per pound (up to 1.50). You do have to buy the 40lb box though.

80/20 ground beef is right around $2/lb in a 10lb log.

Wow! Okay, after we eat down our freezer, we'll have to take a trip there to check it out.

Sign up for the email notifications. New specials every week (I think weekly?). Like any store, there is the deal to get you in and they make it up on the other stuff you buy. It is a restaurant supply store, so some of the stuff is pretty healthily priced. The one near me has a couple cold cases for stuff that is either on the way to spoiled or a little freezer burned, or whatever. You can score some pretty good deals.

Keep in mind... restaurant supply. A box of chicken thighs is like 50lb and frozen. It is cheap but you will spend time thawing it enough to bust apart and repack in more reasonable sizes. Not everything is frozen, but keep it in mind when you are looking at the price... how much of a headache and I buying?

I usually stop in when the week deal is something I need and check the sale cases when I am there. The deals rotate, so if you eat a lot of something, it comes back around reasonably often. I run two deep freezes because i also buy beef by half cow and pork by the pig from other sources. Why you ask? Teenage boys.

It looks like Zacon may have closed their doors. The website does not open for me and I found a listing that shows "Zacon Fresh Foods" suspended business operations on June 25th.

It this the business you are speaking about:

Excellent advice. And teenage boys? I understand.

Ours is the home that feeds several bachelors (and TDY married folks, pining for home-cooked meals) many times a month. IN addition, I've decided to begin raw-feeding our numerous cats, which requires a large amount of chicken thighs and breasts.

Shamrock / Food Warehouse is where we go for our briskets, pork shoulders and chicken.

Someone is selling 20 Ribeyes for $25 out of a truck at Northfield Stapleton right now. Who's in?

Saw a lady at COSTCO with 2 flatbed carts piled high with groceries getting help loading a small enclosed trailer.
I asked a clerk if she came to town once a year or something.
His response was this was her weekly trip - she ran some sort of home for teens.
Wow!

Did Zaycon reboot and dabble into produce? I suddenly started getting unsolicited emails from Fresh Farms USA. They have the same business model as Zaycon.
