Does anyone get home delivery from Schwans foods??

We've been getting Schwan's for a long time. I grew up with them coming to my house too. I do get the meat. We move so much it's hard to find who has good meat sometimes and Schwan's is always consistent. Their pork chops are great, the ball tip steaks are awesome, the big sam steaks are good too. My parents love their hams. We get alot of convenience foods and ice cream too. I am glad that I'm not the only one who feels guilty when I tell I don't want something! My dh doesn't get it! He told them on Saturday we didn't want anything with no problem. I hate Saturday morning deliveries, I'm always home!

I used them for 10 years... I've had almost everything they sell..I can give you an opinion on most of the items... There food is wonderful although it's not always the best value

I agree, we "live and die" by the shcwan man. no schwan, no food (somtimes .

The chicken is the best, diced white chicken pre- cooked for your own recipes. I have never found any better in any store.

We love Schwans! It's so easy for dh and and I because we both work the midnight shift. I can't tell you the last meal that I actually made thanks to Schwans. We haven't ventured into the meat department because we like getting our steaks from Sam's. We really like their pancakes and grilled drumsticks. Those are the 2 things that we get almost everytime.

Maybe it's a pre-requisite for Schwann Man: "Never take no for an answer -- Must be able to give people the creeps, or at least severe guilts, in the event of a non-order."

Our Schwann guy got downright RUDE -- would say things like, "You know, you didn't order much LAST time either." A crusty little dude with 'tude, you might say. So I was quite pleased the next time the Scwann truck rolled down our street and out came a different guy, younger, seemingly less cynical... I thought that was a GOOD thing, right?

Or at least, it was. I asked him where the regular guy was -- he stared at me and said, "He's surfin', bay-bee -- the dude is surrrrrrrrrrfin. But you've got ME, and I'M gonna TAKE CARE OF YOU!" It was like Spicoli Does Scwanns. Then he started making these voices for everything I ordered. Trust me, when the Schwann's guy does little voice-overs simulating all 50+ of your chicken nuggets (and dances the bag around as you try to take it from him), you have every RIGHT to get officially CREEPED OUT. (Don't even ask what he did with the corn dogs.)

So..... when the crusty dude showed up again the next week, we told him to take his singin' nuggets and 'tude on the road, Jack. We renewed our Sam's Club membership and haven't looked back...

Just as an FYI -- for those of you who buy Schwann's rising crust pizza. Check the box closely and compare to Freschetta in your grocery store. Last time I checked, they were one in the same (but Freschetta was loads cheaper.) Same distributor (I think Freschetta lists Schwann as mfg on its box, can't recall.) Wonder if any other products of theirs are like that.

I do miss some of their stuff, and having it brought to the house -- but not the price (or the weirdos....)

Had it for about a year. Not the greatest of values. We wanted our deliveries around 5 pm but he wouldn't show up until 8 or 9. Then we had a heck of a time gettiing the guy to stop bugging us. We would tell him nothing this week, as we pre-ordered online when we wanted itmes but he would still stop and ask us. It almost got to the point of harrasing us. Then he would look at us like we did something wrong. I liked most of the food but it was not worth the hassles.

It is the only way we can get icecream. It would melt before we could get home.

We order every two weeks ( almost)

i grew up with Schwans food and now my kids are

we order alot of the veggies , mac and cheese their pork roast is the best
we love lemon pepper chicken
their ham and cheese hot pockets are the only ones dd and dh will eat
we used to but ice cream but DH gets it free where he works so we don't do that much anymore

as for the schwans"guy"
we have had good and bad over the years
the guy that came only at 10pm didn't last long

The guy we have now is great never a problem when we don't need anything
very friendly about the only bad thing i can say about tim is he is a kenny schrader fan

we would be lost without schwans
and really when you figure the convience the lack of waste and the gaurentee the value is not so bad

We have had Schwans for the past 6 years. They started coming to our neighborhood during the time I was recovering from my accident. I was in a hospital bed in our family room.. and "Mike" would come in, sit and talk with me while I figured out what I was going to order. It was a lifesaver during my rehab time. The whole family loves the Shrimp and Broccoli Alfredo.. YUM!! and we buy TONS of frozen veggies.. jmho but Schwans has the best frozen veggies... hands down. The potstickers, eggrolls are good.. but
the best thing.. SOUTHERN STYLE BISCUITS... Nobody makes 'em better!

We have had good Schwans guys and creepy guys to... one of them was literally in the midst of a nervous breakdown during his route. I called the main office to make sure he got back to the hub.. he's on extended sick leave now. I found out thru various Schwans guys that they work REALLLY LONG HOURS... whew! I will say I have never had one of the fellas make me feel bad that I did not order anything.
