Ok, so the big green/yellow truck stopped by today to drop off the sept./oct catalog today. I am very excited. we used to get food from schwans years ago and stopped when we moved. I requested a catalog last night, today they dropped it off and coming back next wed to get our order.

I am reminded what I used to love ordering, most of that gets an automatic order.

Chicken Cordon bleu
Bacon (best bacon for homemade potato salad)
cookie dough ice cream
Not sure what else.

Their prices seem to have stayed reasonable.

Who else shop's schwans?

Earl, I used them quite often when I lived in FL. It was just easier than going shopping and they have good food...some think it is a little expensive. I figured it saved me time along with driving, and walking through a grocery...it was worth it!!

I loved their water rolls, and they had some whole beans I loved...mmmm, you can also order online...they are even in our neighborhood here. Here is between nowhere and nothing. lol

I used to use them when DDs were little and I was working. I haven't used them in many years. However, I love their ice cream. YUMMY!!!

I also love the money back guarantee, you don' t like the food, (if it tastes like it shouldn't) they will replace or refund, the local grocery store won't.

I like doing business with those that stand behind their products with money back guarantee. It's why we own Cutco knives, Kitchen Craft cookware, and craftsman tools.

The Schwann man stuck a catalog in my door a few wks ago, but I haven't ordered anything yet. I used to, but they would come too late in the day. Heck, I'm already in my jammies.

Might have to give them another try sometime.

I had a catalog for them not too long ago. We're trying to eat more whole foods and not as much preservatives....and since I am home all day I don't look for the convenience factor as much now. Plus, they are waaaay out of my price range.

the 'rocky-road-caramel-swirly' .... now that's a good ice cream from Schwan's!

My lil princess...if you ask them they will deliver to your work, or if you need them to come to your door at a certain time frame...

I haven't used them since I quit working, besides I live less than a mile from a grocery and no traffic to get there...easy.

Just started using them when Jack came home from the hospital. It's pretty nice when groceries just show up and the guy puts it all into the freezer for me.

Some of the things we've tried are great and some are awful. My guy informed me that Schwan's is the maker of most frozen pizzas you find in the grocery store, so now you know what their pizzas are like.

Of all the things we've tried so far, the worst was this nasty thing they called "meatloaf" which was neither like meat nor loaf but was definitely stewed in chemical flavorings. Earl is right, it's pretty foolproof, if it's yuck, they'll take it back and give full credit.

The best to us so far is the turkey dinner, the pot pies that are real food and enough, and the chicken entrees. It's all easy to make and we've landed at the place where it's the "easy, no work" stuff to fall back on instead of carry-out from Applebee's or Olive Garden, etc. The Chinese stays.

All I want to know is did you have Schwann's ice cream in your freezer when I was there, AMN?
