Finally!!
 
I have heard of the "guys selling meat from a freezer in the back of their pickup" and last night they showed up at my house! I had to disappoint them as I don't eat a lot of meat. Not sure I would buy it from a stranger in any case.

I know some people DO buy from them - how about you? any experiences, good or bad? I wonder where they get it, and if it is stolen or out of date.

I would never buy anything under those circumstances.

No way. Sorry ... but I don't know where it came from, I don't know where it's been, and I don't know how long it's been there. I'll stick with my butcher shop - and I know even that is not 100% guaranteed but I like the odds better.

We just had guys at our door two days ago. Selling steaks, etc. from a van. No thanks!!

somebody must buy from them because they keep coming back ... just not me!

Years ago we did buy a box of steaks from one of them. They were the best steaks we ever had. Not sure I would do it anymore with all the crooks out there.

I just could not trust meat like that. Sometimes we go to ranchers and buy and have it cut up for our freezer.

We buy beef, and pork from local processing businesses we use since hubby hunts deer, elk and what ever tickles his fancy..
