Not Worth the Money

I was very disappointed with my Schwans Food order. I found quite a different between the pictures shown on their website and the actual meals I received. I also found almost all of the plastic seal was broken on the trays. One one meal in particular, the contents of the sauce looked like it leaked into the box before it was frozen.

Schwans Review

Schwan's delivery service offers cooked and uncooked meals and meal components. They use their own delivery trucks to maintain their customer base.

They do offer some prepared meals, and that is what we are most interested in. They are a hard to find on their website, so read read the heating instructions! They recently launched a Top Chef line of prepared meals, based on the popular TV show.

Live Smart Beef Portablla Dinner for Two

I literally found nine cubes of beef no larger than a 1/2 inch. In the picture, you can see they occupy the lower left corner of the tray. The beef was exceptional, but four cubes for me, and five cubes for my husband hardly made a meal. In fact, my husband had no problems eating the whole thing.

The vegetables were standard frozen mixed vegetables, you can buy at any supermarket, with a few pieces of broccoli. The gravy had a hint of portabella mushroom flavor, with a few tiny slices of mushrooms. This meal is part of the healthy live smart menu. If your husband eats the whole meal, like mine did, then he will have consumed 1,100 mg of sodium and 18 grams of fat.

Live Smart Chili

You just have to go to the schwans website and see the picture they show for this Schwans Chili, and compare it to what you actually get. It is an insult. This chili is as bad as the cheapest canned chilli you find in a supermarket or at any Wawa to put on your hot dog.

Thank God it was horrible, because the portion size was about a 1/4 inch high from the bottom of the tray. You really wouldn't want to eat more than what they give you. There is no meat, there are hardly any beans, and thier isn't enough spice to light a match.

Disgusting and Embarrasing

This was my first and last time ordering form Schwans Home Delivery Service. I picked up a few prepared meals and was not impressed with any of them. But it is their chili that upset me so much, I was motivated to write to write in. Not only is it desgusting, I am embarrased for Schwans that they would put their name on this and call it a meal.

Be Careful to Read the Sizes and Quantities

I starting using them after getting free steaks, that were definitely not worth the money they wanted but good for free, and decided to keep them cause my husband's family used to use them and he has certain things he likes.

The two different drivers we have had were ok, liked the first one better but no problems with the new guy. Although they do like to push an order when you don't want anything. But lately have been only buying things that we definitely like or are on sale. They have been doing a decent job of offering a good range of discounts to get people to try different kinds of foods they offer. And now have a rewards program were you earn points for each dollar placed in an order online, which actually is pretty decent cause works out to 5% rewards. But do be careful to read the sizes and quantities cause they tend to be very pricey especially with the meat.

Overall most foods I have tried were good and their ice cream if phenomenal, but be weary if you feel guilty easily cause if you don't order you may get a guilt trip.

Oh yeah and they charge a delivery fee each time they deliver that was just raise from $1 to $1.75, so if you don't want to pay them $3.50 a month to come out don't bother.

The Food is Very High in Fat and Sodium

I've been ordering home delivery from Schwans for 1 1/2 years now due to surgery... the food, I found to be convenient and most of it really good (of course, everyone has different tastes), and delivery was always on time...Fair WARNING though... The food is very high in fat and sodium...They have very few low fat content items...After eating their food for 1 1/2 years, I gained 40 lbs...I'm 72 years old and have NEVER been over weight...I have now stopped delivery from Schwans and just joined Jenny Craig at home service for weight loss...Even more important, I just found out from my physician that I have High Cholesterol...Have NEVER had a health problem in life until now...

Summary: If you don't want to gain weight and get a high cholesterol, (both high and low) then stay away from Schwans!
