ButcherBox

What's in the box: A box you build yourself from frozen beef, pork, chicken and seafood cuts, sized to the plan you choose.

ButcherBox is a US meat and seafood subscription that delivers frozen cuts to your door. You pick a plan size, then build your box from a catalog the company says has more than 100 proteins, including grass-fed, pasture-raised ribeyes and New York strips, wild-caught sockeye salmon, organic free-range chicken breasts and crate-free pork chops. Sourcing is the main selling point: the company promises no antibiotics or added hormones, third-party animal welfare certification, and sustainably harvested seafood. Shipping is free, and boxes are said to arrive within one to three days. You can skip or cancel at any time, and there is a satisfaction guarantee. Members also earn 2% back in rewards points and get access to weekly deals. ButcherBox publishes a comparison putting its Signature Medium box at about $8.52 to $15.23 per pound, but that figure includes a promotional free protein offer, so your regular cost may be higher once the promotion ends. The service works best for households that cook often and have room in the freezer, since each box is meant to cover weeks of dinners. It is a meat delivery service rather than a meal kit, so plan on supplying your own sides and recipes.
