Omaha Steaks!

Every Christmas I see the advertisements for Omaha Steaks that you can order and send as gifts or for yourself.  For $49.99 you can order 2 steaks, 4 burgers, 2 chicken breasts and 4 jumbo franks (just an example).  I know several people who give Omaha Steaks as gifts.  I think my parents did it for my brothers and sister one year but Tim and I have never had anything from Omaha Steaks.  Well that has changed!  Tim goes on a website daily called Lifestyle Rewards.  This started a couple of years ago when our campground membership, Thousand Trails, insisted we attend a sales meeting to get us to buy a "better" membership.  If you have followed my Travels With Ruth blog it was when we were accused of "stealing" from Thousand Trails because we actually used our membership.  We were actually dismissed from the meeting but for our troubles we were given a $500 gift card to Lifestyle Rewards.  That ended up being a pretty good deal because since then we have been able to get a few gifts but just for going on the site daily Tim has won several small gift cards ($5.00 to $25.00) for restaurants or stores.  Well, a couple of weeks ago he won a $50.00 gift card to Omaha Steaks.  After looking at the Omaha Steaks site we found out that the $50.00 gift card would not get us much especially with shipping.  After looking at our options we decided to buy a bigger package and use the gift card and our own money to pay for it.  Well, the Omaha Steaks order has arrived!  We received 4 sirloin steaks, 16 gourmet burgers, 6 pork chops, 4 chicken breasts, 4 Polynesian pork chops and 4 jumbo franks. We figured that was about 14 to 16 meals.  This was a value pack order that we created and used the gift card and about $70.00 of our own money to purchase it.  Well so far we are not too disappointed.  The portions are a little small but certainly doable for dinners.  We had one small shipping mishap when we received our order.  Everything was frozen but the Polynesian pork chops which were cold but not frozen.  We called the company who is sending us a new order of the Polynesian Pork chops.  So far, we have enjoyed the meat and would recommend Omaha Steaks as a gift or for yourself.
