Hi Marcie – the pricing in the charts is based off of ButcherBox’s ‘add on’ pricing. When you’re a BB member, you get access to purchasing meats in bulk at a discounted/set price. That’s where the prices per pound come from. What we do is get a 6 item custom box and pick the biggest weight/most expensive cuts (whole chicken, pork butt, etc) and then we do add ons for everything else. It’s much cheaper per pound to do it that way if that makes sense.

Hi – thank you for this review. I am trying to understand whether to do this or not and I don’t understand where you got your pricing for the BB cuts? A 6-item custom box is $169 and if I select the ground beef as one of my items, I get 2 pounds – at $169 for 6 items this makes that ground beef over $14/lb (as each item in the 6/box is about $28.1 per item). What am I doing wrong? I see I can get 2 filet mignons in my box and that is worth $14/item but not the ground beef. So when I look at your chart, I don’t understand – you have ground beef listed at $7/lb but in that case they would be including 4 pounds, not 2 pounds in the box. Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks so much!

In reply to Kathleen. I don't think the meat tastes gamey at all! We love it!

Hi do any of the meat selections taste gamie? I purchased meat from a local heritage beef farm and it tasted super gamie which I didn’t like.

In reply to Jessie. Hey Jessie! When you're a ButcherBox member you have the opportunity to access their member deals. One of them is buying ground beef in bulk at a discounted price. That's where the math comes from. If you give ButcherBox a try you'll be able to see the member deals page. The prices are so much cheaper. We get the smallest ButcherBox and then select add ons for any additional meat we need, it's the most affordable way to use ButcherBox

Hi! I’m not seeing how you got your price per pound…. If the classic box is $169 for 11 lbs, even with the extra 2 lbs of ground beef, that’s $13 per pound. Not the $7.50 that you say… Am I miscalculating? I want this to be a reasonable deal, but I’m not seeing it…

You forgot to mention how great the seafood choices are, Wild Salmon used to be a delicacy that I rarely ate since fish farm salmon sucks and has no color. Im on carnivore and I mostly only eat BB, I live alone and get a big box every month and a half and it works out for me knowing that all the food in my freezer is legit.

Don’t forget the ribeyes under the beef options – I get mostly ribeyes from BB!

In reply to Caitlin. Hi Caitlin - the lbs of meat per box varies. You can add on meat in each box and it has a fixed price per pound. That's where I go the numbers from. They are not the average cost numbers if that make sense.

I’m confused about pricing. The $137 box with about 10 pounds of meat would come out to $13.70 but you’re saying that a pound of meat is in the $7-8 range. Where did you get those numbers?
