Are you Freaking kiddin me

[sunshinecindy]

Hickory Farms is now 75% off the entire site. I made an order at the 50% and thought it was a great deal, now I have to make another. This stuff freezes well too. With Super Bowl party coming up and DH 50th birthday party, I know I'll go through a bunch of this.

[SunshineGirl]

Wow. That's insane!!!

[sunshinecindy]

Yep, ok, went in and placed another order, not the entire site is 75%, some items are still 50%, but the majority looks to be 75%. Can't wait for my Baklava....more cheese...jellies....summer sausage...apple cheddar cheese....macadamia fruit cake...mmmmm, and I had it shipped the end of the month since my other was just shipped today.

[disney_girl]

Wow- awesome prices!! I just placed an order for us and I'm trying to figure out who else I know that might need one LOL!

[askomsky]

you sold me too, have a few gatherings coming up soon where the cheese will come in handy and at 75% off who could resist? (Also threw in some chocolates too! lol)

[JillyFish]

I'm thinkin' that THIS (http://www.hickoryfarms.com/products~sku~000030~c~150201.asp) is a really good deal even at 50% off, considering the price of cheese at the grocery store these days (INSANE BTW)!

Yep, at over 3lb of gourmet cheese for that price, I had to order. I bought some swiss just the other day at the grocery store, nothing special, and it was almost 9.00/lb. Cheese is very expensive for some reason now.

[PSL1013]

Wow, I had to place an order too and got the Block Party Gift Box, reg.$40 for $10. Could have ordered a lot more but we are suppose to be dieting? :rotfl: Why are things on sale for so cheap...are they cleaning house or going out of business? :confused:

I just ordered a Block Party as well. Every February, we get together with some of DH's college buddies. Perfect to take along with some crackers and wine. Instant Happy Hour!

I also ordered two of the Summer Sausage/Cheese Gift Boxes. I'm going to take 1 to Disney in March and put the other one in the freezer to take along in June. I like to have snacks in the room and they'll be perfect to nosh on in the room at night.

Thanks, Cindy, for the heads up on the awesome deal! :clap:

[disneymomma]

I know you can freeze cheese but I've never tried it. How long can you reasonably freeze this stuff and does it taste the same afterwards? It's too good a deal to pass up!

I've had cheese in the freezer for months and it tastes perfectly fine to me. But, someone please correct me if I'm wrong...the Hickory Farms stuff doesn't need refrigeration until you open it? Is that right? But, if it has an expiration date past our June trip, then I'll throw it in the freezer until needed.

I just placed my order. I got the one I linked to above plus this (http://www.hickoryfarms.com/products.asp?sku=007174) one.....it's 75% off!

My DH is probably gonna think I've lost my marbles, ordering cheese online!!! :rotfl:

I SO was going to get a couple of those $3.75 ones but then I saw it had that smoky cheddar, which I don't care for. But what a great, great deal! :clap: I like all the cheeses in that first box you linked to...how I missed that one, I don't know.

[Arky]

Yeah, I ordered too. It's an incredible deal. I am so glad SR shows me how to spend my money wisely.

DD calls me Coupon Queen. My two coupon holders, entertainment book and the local coupon clipper are always in the car...

Given that - how's the shipping costs? Love me some cheese and salty meat products, but I'm realy stubborn about shipping charges.

Shipping is not great....9.99.....but even figuring that in, it was still cheaper than what I've been paying at the grocery store lately.

They must be buying those cows OIL to drink or somethin'!! LOL!

I had a 5lb package delivered for 9.00, to me, thats not bad at all, especially since there is no Hickory Farms anywhere around me, the prices are so cheap and their products are so good. At Christmas they are at the mall, and one little garden veggie dip is 7.00, and I got 3 crocks for like 9.00.

Fan - I just saw where you're from! So am I! (well, 10 minutes East of Rockvale).

I must say...you can't call yourself cheap unless you've shopped at BBs!!! :rotfl:

Now back to topic...

My shipping was $9.99 for 3 packages. Not sure if they go by weight or price. Given it was 75% off, I didn't mind awfully much.

More OT - wondered where in PA you were. I'm north of the city, off the Fruitville Pike. More importantly - what is BB? Do I need to go there???

Now back to your regulary scheduled Old Hickory thread...

LOL I'm west of KOP (since we're throwing acroynms out there) by about 25 mins depending on traffic.

I paid 7.99 shipping ordered 4 things and it was about $17 for the 4. I don't like paying shipping but considering what I got for 75% off it was worth it.

[jaime]

OMG!! I just spent $65 on like $250 worth of cheese! I may have gone a little crazy, but I can't pass up a good deal like that! Shipping was 18, but considering the price of cheese everywhere else I am still getting a great deal! :cooldance:

[lanny76]

I got a 75$ gift pack for 18.75 - wow! Even tho shipping is more than I like, I could hardly pass up a deal like that - I love sausage and cheese, but I would NOT ever pay 75 for it! But 18.75, why not??!!:D

[sunshinecindy]

Just got my first order today. Got the crocks, they have no expiration on them, they are sooooooooooo nice, will be great for refilling with cheeses too. They do say keep refrigerated. The cheese balls and summer sausage say not to refrigerate till opened. They both have a July expiration, and they will be long gone before then. I will be taking one cheeseball and sausage and crackers to Vegas with me for us to snack on in the room. It even came with a little spreading knife. My next order is set to arrive on Jan 31st, just in time for Superbowl Party. I sent another to a friend of mine today that has lost her job and has a ton of rescue animals and is feeding them, not herself, and loves cheese. I am thinking I may look up the pack that Lanny got, cause thats a deal. I know we have to pay shipping, but considering the prices, and the fact that there is absolutely no Hickory Farms around me, and the little bit they carry in the store is so expensive, I don't mind.

[fourfoxesinpa]

Yeah, I'm thinking of placing another order now that you say how long the expiration date is...

Cindy - any chance of getting the extra 10% off coupon code that showed up in my email? That would be so sweeeeeet to get even more off.

I actually emailed them about that yesterday and they have not answered me about it, so my guess is no. If you use it, you take the chance of not getting SR credit.

[fourfoxesinpa]

Thanks for the update. I decided to just go ahead and order more items - I didn't want to miss out like the two-tier Dancing Deer that I didn't get to order yesterday. I ordered 2 of the Summer Sausage/Cheese Gift Box and 2 Cheese Ball Combo gift box. That, combined with yesterday's order, should keep us Happy Houred for quite a while.

:party:

[askomsky]

Oh my, I ordered these on Tuesday, credit pending yesterday and the order was there on my door when I got home. I've already "tested" the choc fudge and choc cakes. Need to stop now... or that exercise I did at 530am will have been for nothing! :)

[fourfoxesinpa]

"Where's the Beef?" I'd love for mine to come today - looks like it will be a "stay at home, play at home" weekend with the snow/sleet/wintry mix that's predicted.

OT - How's DS feeling, April?

I think he's fine now that the motrin kicked in, he came right home and went to sleep and he's still sleeping. Which is NOT normal for him, I think it's been 4 yrs since he's taken a nap and it was when he was sick. I'm hoping its just 24 thing or something like that and he's feeling better tomorrow.

[JillyFish]

My cheese arrived today too! Enjoyed some for lunch. Mmmmm!!!!

[sunshinecindy]

I am so tempted to order more. I've had 4 orders so far, but we love that stuff, and since it has such a long shelf life and then can be put in the freezer another 6 months, that gives us almost a year for it

Are you trying to convince us you need more, or talk yourself out of ordering more????? :rotfl:

[fourfoxesinpa]

Did it come UPS or USPS? There could still be a chance that it shows up. Jill, is your credit pending too? (ETA - I just went through my email and see a note that it was just shipped today. )

Go ahead, Cindy - it's too good of a deal to pass up. Then we can do it all over again next year!

[disney_girl]

My order showed up today. We're muching on it while we are waiting for the guys to finish putting together DS's new bedroom furniture.....this is the slowest delivery in history! At least we have a snack because we are both starving!! (DS is getting "Pirates of the Carribean" furniture and he's running around excitedly singing "Yo Ho, Yo Ho....")

I honestly don't know it was on my doorstep when I came home, if I had to guess UPS, bc my mail was here too and if I get a package the mail is usually with the package. UPS though sometimes doesn't come until now so who knows!

Update: Found the one box I threw away, it came up from UPS.

[sunshinecindy]

Mine came UPS, they sent me a tracking code too, or you can go into your history and get it.

Well, after going grocery shopping and seeing the price of the cheese in the stores again, I kept thinking about it the entire time I shopped.

[PSL1013]

mine is being delivered Monday the 12th...I was hoping to have it for Saturday to munch on while watching our 6-10 inches of snow that we are getting! :cry:

[fourfoxesinpa]

I didn't set up an account - just checked out as a "Guest" so I'm not able to track my order.

It came UPS. My credit showed up late yesterday.
Did you not get credit yet Jamie? It should show up now that it shipped I would think.

[toystoryduo]

I ordered last Tuesday and am supposed to receive it tomorrow. I haven't received credit yet. I'm hoping maybe it will show up in my account tomorrow.

[fanofree]

I ordered Wednesday night, I think. It shipped and is "in transit," probably in the snow somewhere. No credit yet.

[fourfoxesinpa]

Ooooooh...my first order just arrived! I ordered the Block Party and 2 of the Summer Sausage and Cheese gift box. The expiration date is July 11th so I'm very excited that I can just put all of these in our Butler's Pantry and pull them out as needed.

Awesome deal!!! (but no credit yet. :p - although I'm sure it's because the ladies are at the conference)

[fanofree]

My credit posted as pending tonight and my shipment is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. That is nice as one item is a gift for my brother's birthday and guess what? It is tomorrow! :D

She apologized and they will send the cheese out on Thursday. Well.....I'm leaving on Sunday for Florida. No problem.....they'll send it there. Great!!! :cooldance:

Now what to do with the Petite Fours. If you send me a pick up slip.......I'll send them back. She said....keep them. Works for me!!! :banana:

I got the Block Party too, they were smaller sizes than the usual ones you buy but it was a great deal...I'm tempted to order another one since the exp. dates are so far off.

Enjoy everyone!!

[~Kathie]

Order update for me:

Message on my cell phone that the Cheese Spread they were supposed to be re-sending me is now out of stock. :(

I called and they are sending me the The Cheese Connoisseur Collection Gift Box instead. It is more $$ than what I paid for the cheese spread which I thought was nice of them to do that.

I had a teeny problem with my order too (one of my cheeses was opened and all dried out on one end) I called this morning and since they can't break up a set, they are sending me out a whole new one....GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! :D

That's awesome, Pam! I had a good experience from them, too. I ordered (excuse me, my furbabies ordered) the big package of cheddar and sent it to my DD (Lori) and her family. They will be taking care of all my furbabies starting in a week while we cruise in Europe for two weeks. The package shipped quickly and according to Lori, the cheese is outstanding and is being enjoyed by all. My doggies were kind of hoping that they'd get some samples when they went to "live" there, but I'm wondering if there will be anything left, LOL.:rotfl:

oohhh a cruise, how exciting! I went on HAL to the Eastern Caribbean the beginning of December on a "girls only cruise", we had so much fun, I love to cruise and I don't even care where I go. :rotfl: I have to wait until April for our next cruise on Princess to the Southern Caribbean, our first 10 day cruise and I can hardly wait. Enjoy...I think our Mediterranean cruise last May was the highlight of my life so far....as much as I LOVE going to Disney each year, cruising has become my favorite vacation. :love:

and Lori....save some of that cheese for the doggies, afterall they did order it for you! :rotfl:

Just an update.... "Uncle" (as DD calls him) loved his gift - the Family Reunion Box or something like that. Strangely enough, he was excited about the strawberry candy! :confused: I also got the three box set with the cheese balls, cheese and sausage and the fruit cake (Cindy made me do it!)

I really want the basket that has the coffee in it.. NO DO NOT BUY MORE!

I opened my cheese crocks today, OMG, they are all wonderful. Now I wish I would have bought 2 sets. They would make a fantastic gift. My girlfriend got the gourmet cheese set that I sent her, and she said she had to eat an entire bar of it one night it was so good. Their stuff rocks.

[disney_girl]

Argh....it's pulling me in again! lol I just saw that the Block Party pack is now $6.00! Some of the others are cheaper now too. Hmmmm... what shall I buy now??? lol
