We placed an order at omahasteaks.com last evening for "The Cookout Combo" that comes with.


2-5oz Filet Mignon
2-5oz Top Sirloin Steaks
4-1lb Boneless Chicken Breasts
4-4oz Omaha Steak Burgers
4-3oz Gourmet Franks

And we got 6 FREE 4oz Omaha Steak Burgers

We used a $20.00 gift card we got from redeeming 500 Coka Cola rewards points and received 1/2 off on shipping.

The whole package was:

$49.95
-$20.00 (gift card)
S/H with 1/2 off was $8.99

Total $38.98

Bonus - A free cooler and some dry ice for science experiments with the kids (not to mention the look on there faces when they realize you can get meat in the mail. )


I know prices are different everywhere, so who thinks this is a good or bad deal?


Thanks for all the input folks, I'll let you all know when it's delivered on the 19th.

LOL, We'll be using gloves. We found some cool experiments on youtube so it should be fun.

Put a piece if dry ice in an empty liter coke bottle, add a little water, put the top on and throw that sucker as far as you can. The bottle will expand until it explodes-and let me tell you-it's LOUD!!
Might want to get far away from populated areas first though. The explosion has a tendency to make most folks nervous-especially the law!!

Looks like you got 1-1/4 lbs. of steak
1 lb. of hamburger
3/4 lbs. of hotdogs and
4 lbs. of chicken
That's a total of 7 lbs. of meat if you call "Franks" meat. You paid a total of $38.98 after cashing in your $20 certificate which boils it down to $5.569 per pound. Had you not used the $20 it would have cost $58.98 or $8.426 per pound.
Using information from the attached site I estimate you got about $25 worth of meat but I could have figured wrong. Of course these prices are at the store, not delivered to your home.

We used to do this with a certain chemical (that I would never mention here) and aluminum foil. Yep it's loud and can chase off a den of coyote real good.

you crazy boys are all alike!

My only dealings with Omaha Steak has been eating them. I have had a rather wealthy
customer for over 15 yrs. and every Christmas he sends me a Pkg. of the felit menons. They are great. Once it was T-bones, but I had a power outage and forgot about the freezer in the garage. You know the rest.

 

[dpitt8]

seems like a good deal....and the one time i helped him fix his blackberry the president of the company was a nice guy....dunno if he is still president since that was a couple years back now. and his IT guy about a half year after that....

 

[mikeofaustin]

I can remember just 10 years ago when t-bones were $1.79 a pound. Now? Forget it.

 

[packerbacker]

Had this guy sent to the butcher's just over a week ago. He should be ready in about another week. No antibiotics, no growth hormones, just good ol' feed. Nuthin' better than home grown anything!

 

[simonds]

Packer, he looks a lot like the last one that I put in the freezer. Fed on green grass, hay and some corn and oats. The best darn beef that you coud ever get.
Just my opinion, I'm just an old Cowboy

The wife and I received the same package a few years ago,yes the meat was very good,but I've had better and have gotten more{lbs.} at the same or better price.
I see that your in Ohio,check out your local farmers markets and see what ones offer meat,here in Austin,Tx. we have several farmers markets and several good ones that sell meat,free of drugs.

 

[WindHarvester]

Shipped yesterday. We usually buy all our meat from local farmers, aside from our deer meat that we harvest or barter with neighbors.

I definitely agree on the hormones they pump into commercial beef, chickens etc. It scares me to be honest. This was just something I thought I would try and more than likely will never do again.

They shipped yesterday so I'll let you all know how it turned out in a few days.

Thanks for your replies.

 

[packerbacker]

I'm sure you'll enjoy it just fine. Sometimes you pay a little extra just to get pampered a bit. Nothing beats getting food put right on your doorstep. (unless your cat brings you a gift )

 

[packerbacker]

all the time tee

 

[mikeofaustin]

I love burgers... but I also love cows...

 

[WindHarvester]

Funny video Mike!

Well the package is due for delivery today so I'll let you all know how things turn out.

My granddaughter was pulling the head of the steer we had butchered from side to side just goofing around with him a couple days before we sent him to the butcher. My son told her to quit playing with her food.
