Zaycon is returning to the Chicago area the end of February with two items:

Carvemaster old fashioned hams (fresh, not frozen); each 22lb order contains two individually vacuum sealed hams.  Works out to $3.29/lb.

Premium pork sausage links come frozen, with each order containing two 10 lb boxes of 1oz links.  Works out to $2.69/lb.

The chicken I’ve picked up the last two times is the best we’ve ever had.  If it’s too much for one family, then split with neighbors or family.  Remember, you have to be registered to view the offerings and to place an order.  Registering now eliminates one step.

Got this reminder email last night:  Zaycon is coming back with two items:

Their Carvemaster old fashioned hams are fresh (not frozen); each 22lb order contains two individually vacuum sealed hams per case.  Works out to $3.29/lb.

The Premium pork sausage links come frozen; each order contains two 10 lb boxes of 1oz links.  Works out to $2.69/lb.

The ham and sausage deals are new, but I can honestly say that their chicken is the best I’ve ever purchased.   If this is too much for one family (even kept frozen), then split with neighbors or family.

Got this email earlier today  – –  and promptly forgot to post – sorry!  and doesn’t their title sound dirty?  or is it just me?

Zaycon is coming back to town with two items:

Their Carvemaster old fashioned hams are fresh (not frozen); each 22lb order contains two individually vacuum sealed hams per case.  Works out to $3.29/lb.

The Premium pork sausage links come frozen; each order contains two 10 lb boxes of 1oz links.  Works out to $2.69/lb.

While I haven’t yet tried their ham or links (we’ll probably buy links), I can honestly say that their chicken is the best I’ve ever bought.  And if the orders are too large for your family, split it!

Seriously, it’s not rocket science, people.  You drive up, pop the trunk and the nice men put the box(es) in your car and off you go.  Everything is double bagged in heavy plastic bags, then placed in a thick cardboard box.

Dates are the end of February, but as always, if they sell out for a particular location, that’s it.  And you have to be registered to buy.  My advice?  and we’re talking from experience here:  Register now, since it doesn’t cost you anything and you don’t have to order.  But if I get an email and post that they’re about to close a location and you have to register…SOL, cookie.

Just in case you were wondering just what all the hoopla is about Zaycon fresh chicken, here is PITA holding just one full breast from our order. I split each breast, rinsed it off, patted it dry and put four to a freezer bag into one of my uprights. I’ve already cut up a couple for a Thai yellow curry/spicy peanut meal with saffron rice that’s just about done cooking.

Remember, this chicken is all fresh, not frozen and works out to be $1.69 a pound for boneless, skinless breasts.  That’s what all the hoopla is about!  By the way, I’d register now (it’s free) because I’ve heard there’s a beef and bacon event coming up (don’t know any more info, sorry).

PSA for those of you still on the fence about ordering fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts from Zaycon Foods:  You’ve got another chance for this deal!  Just got an email about ordering, which was odd because the drop off is tomorrow (for Bolingbrook) and we passed the order deadline.  However, looks like they’ve extended it through today, so grab some now.  You must first register with them to see items, dates and locations.

Locations range from Bolingbrook to Naperville and Elk Grove Village to Springfield.  Drive up, show your emailed confirmation and they load your box into the trunk – easy peasy. Contents are sealed in heavy duty plastic.

Zaycon is back with their fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breast promotion.   Locations are all over, from Bolingbrook to Naperville and Elk Grove Village to Springfield.  It’s a really fast pick up, too:  You drive up, show them your printed payment confirmation and they load your box into your trunk.  The contents are encased in a very heavy duty plastic bag, so don’t worry about anything spilling (ugh!)… I need to find a chicken buddy to split with and some freezer space…

Zaycon has more products!  Bacon and ground beef are available in limited quantities – purchase today and get delivery tomorrow!  Ground beef is down to $1.99 a pound!!!

Bolingbrook — pick up tomorrow 3/2 10-11 AM. Available: Bacon or Ground Beef, $1.99/lb.

Thanks, Rachel, for the heads up.

If you don’t have the freezer space or $$$ right now, you might just want to register with Zaycon and get that part out of the way – it’s free and you’ll get the alert when the next delivery is being planned.
