Have you heard of Zaycon? They are growing in leaps and bounds all around the US! Zaycon has brought Beef (93/7) and Chicken Breasts to the Dallas area a few times. I have gotten both. Priced at less then the hottest sale at the grocery store, I always try to order! I can’t eat quite as much as they sell per order, so I normally split it with a friend!
So now I have told you how to save money buying Zaycon, let me tell you have I save time!
The Chicken comes a huge bag.
I break it into smaller portions (1-2 breasts as they are HUGE, per bag). I freeze half of it in 1 qt bags. I crock pot 1/4th of it and shred for future meals, and the other 1/4th I grill. (I love grilled chicken on salad, in a quesadilla, etc!)
The Beef comes in 10 lb logs. (I get two as I split with a friend, normally an order is 4)
I break one up into 10 1lb portions of raw meat and freeze it. With the remaining roll, I cook 5 lbs of it and put into zip lock bags for chili, tacos, casseroles and such, then freeze it. The other 5 lbs I made hamburgers with in my hamburger press and wrap and freeze.
On busy days, I have options! I can grab already cooked meat and toss into a quick and easy meal, or on days when I have more time I can thaw meat and cook with it!
I love that Zaycon cuts the middle man out and saves us big bucks! (They are looking at bringing bacon to DFW! YUMMO!) Sign up now for their emails so you can be in the loop next time they come to your area!
*Thank you Zaycon for these awesome meat products and for helping save this mama time and money!
