I was curious about the Gourmet Secrets deal so I checked out their website, and nearly placed an order. The coupon deal itself is fine once you go through the fine print, it effectively subsidizes your shipping costs plus $12 in product for each order, and you'll spend about $300 plus for an order and shipping on top before you apply the 50 bucks. Even then, the coupon seems like a good deal.

I nearly pulled the trigger on this until I calculated the cost of what they're selling. Comparing to a grocery store you're paying 30% more. Compared to M&M meats you're paying 10% more, and this is after all the discounts are figured in.

I should add I compared by weight and compared only chicken and steak.
