I have always been a massive fan of buying meat in bulk. We used to do a monthly visit to a local butcher in our area who does massive discount packs at a good price however when the quality started to dip, I lost interest and we went back to buying with the weekly shop at the supermarket. Now you know me, I am a savvy little sole who loves to get the best offer I can. Adam and I eat a lot of meat, particularly things like chicken, steak, beef (minced, diced etc) and buying from the supermarket was knocking our food bill up by quite a bit!
I discovered Musclefood via Instagram. I follow quite a lot of people on there who do Slimming world and being a slimming worlder myself, I was intrigued. However I will be honest I wasn't sure how I felt about having a chilled parcel delivered to my house (it sounds daft now).
At the tail end of last year after seeing a really good deal online for Black Friday, I decided to bite the bullet and order one of the hampers.
The Black Friday Parcel I ordered was fantastic! It contained all of the above products and I paid the extra pound to get some more added onto it as an additional bonus.
What I loved about it, was that I could choose my delivery day and date which meant I could schedule for the delivery to come on a week day when I knew Adam would be at home meaning he would be there to sort the parcel out when it arrived.
Delivery was amazing. I got constant emails leading up to my parcel being delivered and then a text on the morning from Dpd, the delivery company that muscle food use for their deliveries, to give me an hour time slot when it would be arriving.
When it arrived, the meat was all packaged into perfect wrappers labelling what was in each one, except the chicken, which comes in a large container, perfect for us as we just separated into freezer bags (I personally love the ikea ones) into portions of 2 and then Adam chucked everything into the freezer meaning all we needed to do was pull something out each morning. Excuse the lack of lovely delivery parcel here.. both times that the parcel has come, Adam has done it and whipped it away into the freezer before he took a picture! Men eh!
There are SO many amazing options available on the website too. So far I have been drawn in by fantastic monthly offers they have had on (last months order was a £45 hamper which you could then double and get the same again for an extra £5! - no brainer really)
Their options also include build your own hampers where you can choose from different meats depending on your taste or you don't have to have a hamper at all and can just order different meats! There is SO much choice from traditional meats like chicken, beef and lamb, to sea food and even more exotic meats like Ostrich, Kangaroo and Venison.
They also do other fantastic products such as egg whites, protein deserts as well as stocking one of my favourite cheeses, the Eat Lean Protein Cheese which you can have 70g of on slimming world (hello cheesy goodness).
There has not been a product we have tried yet that we haven't enjoyed. Some of my favourite things we have had in the hampers we have ordered have been the Sweet chilli chicken burgers, the beef satay stir fry and the Dragon Steaks!
Musclefood is defiantly going to be a regular order in our house from now on! I will defiantly not be going back to buying supermarket meat! If you haven't checked them out, seriously head yourself over to their website and order yourself something! You honesty will not regret it!!
