Bacon and yogurt shopping — Jewel Yoplait deal works great!
Posted by rachel in jewel, shopping trips, zaycon
So this morning I had to pick up my Zaycon bacon order — and confusingly, this time it came in frozen cryovac-ish packages of about 3lbs each!
But, we will deal. Anything, for bacon! 
Still on the fence about their upcoming ground beef event, since I still have pub burgers from Jewel — how about you guys? Now my freezer is full of BACON, and my fridge is full of… yogurt.
Stopped at Jewel since we were driving right by on the way home, and tried the Yoplait yogurt deal — worked great, for $.24 a cup yogurt!
20 Yoplait yogurt cups, $8.00. Used two $.40/6 from the 6/9 SS and a $.50/8 from the 6/9 SS.
2 avocados, $1.58.
Used a $2.00 Catalina from yesterday’s water deal and paid $6.45. Got back $2.00 for Yoplait, for a net cost of $6.45 for all 22 items.
Reminder! Zaycon Foods has opened up pick-up dates for 93/7 ground beef in July.
- If you’re not in IL, they’ve opened up other events all across the country, too, so see what’s by you.
If you’re not familiar with Zaycon Foods,
- They sell fresh meat products by the case.
- Head to local pickup locations at a specified date and time to pick up your order.
- They schedule events across the country.
- Here’s my old review of their chicken, if you’re curious and want to see some pix!
About the ground beef
- LFTB Free (no pink slime)
- The beef cattle have a grass diet which is supplemented by grain after they reach approximately 700 pounds.
- There are no hormones or antibiotics in the beef and it is 100% grown in the USA.
- There are no chemicals, additives or water added to meat during processing.
- Processed at a USDA-inspected, state-of-the-art plant employing strict operating protocols (including HACCP) and the highest in food-safety standards
- Prior to processing, inspectors from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service randomly sample cattle under a monitoring plan and perform testing for antibiotic residues.
- USDA nutrition labeling standards defines “extra lean” and “lean” ground beef based on the lean/fat ratio. While not part of these guidelines, the term “super lean” is often used in the grocery sector to describe ground beef at the upper end of the “lean” category (i.e., “Zaycon Foods 93/7 Super Lean Ground Beef”). This ground beef product is 93% lean and 7% fat
- Comes in a 40-lb case with four 10-lb chubs per case
- Just $3.49/lb!
How much meat did you say that was again?
They do add tax, but it’s low IL-food-tax.
- 40 pounds of beef at $3.49/lb = $139.60 + $3.14 tax = $142.74.
- $3.49/lb is really good for 93/7, and this looks better than the beef they had last time, looking at the description.
Pickup locations and getting together
Hopefully there is a date and time that will work for you. Head over to Zaycon to place your order now.
- And, please feel free to chat and get together in comments about splitting orders, if these are too large for your family.

Zaycon Foods has opened up pick-up dates for 93/7 ground beef in July! Why is this ironic? Simply because I used up all the ground beef from their last event (a long time ago in a galaxy far far away), gave up on them coming back any time soon, and just filled my freezer this week with cheap pub burgers from Jewel. That’s about right, lol! You too?
