Schwan food: Is it worth it?!
Answers: I see the Schwan truck every now and then. I've heard the food is very expensive. If you've used it before, is it worth the cost, or can you get the same thing at the grocery store? Thanks.
I would say no, it's not worth the price. Take the other poster's advice and ask for a free meal. Also try their ice cream, but I recommend you buy from your local grocer.
At one time I would say it was. It seems they like everyone else has changed how they make their food items. I quit buying from them as most items do not taste very good.
Some of their items are different from what you can get in the store. If you stop the Schwan truck driver he will give you a free meal. It is their policy to do so. I know because it happened to me. The food was very good. He also gives you a choice of what kind of meal you would like.
My family has gotten it for years and yes it IS expensive. But, some of the food is good. But when you're on a cheaper budget I would just recommend going to the grocery store unless you want an occasional treat. (schwans comes once every two weeks.)
I had it when I was younger and even though it was expensive, it's expensive because of the convienence and also cause the food is really good
I think some of the food is good but yes definitely over priced.
Some of it is worth it. I can't get unbreaded frozen cod in my grocery store, so I get it from Schwans. Their 5 cheese garlic bread is to die for. And the pierogies are good too. They always try to upsell the ice cream and juices, but I say no thanks. They quit coming around since my checks weren't big enough I guess!
Yes & no--- Always higher in cost than at the market, you're paying for home delivery! I've found that the frozen veggies are average or above. Fish & fish based dishes are very good. Frozen meats are not as good as fresh at the butcher. Appetizers & snacks vary from OK to terrible. Ice cream is well worth the price.
