Free Schwan's Food - $9.99 or under

[DarkSageRK]

Surprisingly, I didn't see a thread for this. Promotion started a few days ago, but I just placed an order, so it's still going.

http://www.schwans.com/free

Free item $9.99 or under.

You might have to deal with them coming back a few times to see if you want to get on their route, but that hassle is undoubtedly worth the free food.


I picked out the chicken pot pies. 2.5 lbs and 4 servings = hot value, IMO.

[souljah420]

wow nice! too bad they are outta rocky road ice cream...

[souljah420]

ordered it anyways - cost me 8 cents

[GamerKingFaiz]

Yea the $0.08 seems to be sales tax...

[ddrlenz]

I ordered a gallon of Cookies n Cream Ice Cream. Om nom nom. Didn't have to pay a dime, either.

[dwb6]

i hope they get some of the ice cream in. i looked for 3 different ice creams and they were all out.

[fizzywix]

[mrniceguy8]

I ordered me some ice cream sandwiches and signed my parents up and she wanted broccoli and cheese. Didn't have to pay anything on either of them. Very nice. I might have to pass this around to friends and family also.

[GamerKingFaiz]

I can't seem to get rid of the sales tax, I guess it's a CA thing... >_<

For people that didn't have to pay sales tax, what state did you live in?

[doodle777_98]

No tax in TX

[zhirin]

I got the Butter Pecan 1 Gallon. It's delicious. No tax in Iowa.

[nnthomas]

Cool... going to try it. I picked the 13" Cheese Pizza

Is there a way to delete your account after this? I'd rather not have my info on a site I won't bother using again.

[thepik241]

I ordered a cake and I said for it to be delivered on August 3rd however it has been two days and it has not arrived yet.

What is more strange is that on the Pending Orders page of the website is says that the items has been received...

[popemogoth]

I ordered the 2 lbs nuggets and they arrived yesterday but there's a problem. There is only 5 pieces of nuggets left. They were so delicious I had to eat them all in one day. lol I totally forgot about the Ice Cream or else I would've jumped on the Cookies n Cream. Tx No Tax!

[Gohan]

From Schwan's:

Well ...

What’s the delivery fee for?

Due to increased fuel prices and to avoid raising the prices on all of our products Schwan’s Home Service must add a $1 delivery fee on all customer purchases.

Then again, some folks over at Slickdeals are saying that the $1 fee should not apply to this particular offer.

Mine won't be delivered until the 10th :( I guess I can't om nom nom yet

[bfauble83]

I'm tempted to do this...delivery for me wouldn't be until the end of next week thought, and I really don't want them to try to sell me their overpriced food after this...i think i'll just let this pass.

[mrnivek]

Thanks, pizza sounded good!

[jigsawhc]

Crud. I should have gone for the gallon of cookies and cream. That sounds great. Oh well, 10 ice cream bars will be good too.

Thanks

[Vader582]

Thanks OP! :D
Ordered 8 1/4 pound burgers, was tempted on a gallon of ice cream but that would take up too much room in the freezer.

[Duckman5]

Ordered the 1 gallon Rocky Road Ice Cream. Says it will be delivered next friday. (8/14)

[sjconway87]

Free food is always good, especially when you don't have a credit card. I'll just pay that $0.00 at my door please.

[Trepidation]

Thanks! Got the cookies 'n cream ice cream! :D No tax in Idaho, either.

[chicagoz]

I ordered the Quarter Pound Beef Patties. No tax in IL. $0.00 at delivery! Thanks, OP!

[bfauble83]

Ahh, screw it. Cookies and Cream was back in stock so I'm in. Thanks OP.

[Aceboogz]

Free foooddd!!!!!

[sleepydumbdude]

Sweet I got corn dogs. I haven't had a corn dog in like 5 years and everytime I go to the grocery I just stare at them thinking "thats too expensive for a corn dog" this way its free. w00t thanks.

[bfauble83]

Damn...i didn't think about that!

[BustaUppa]

Can you specify what time you want the items delivered? I'm at work during the day and I live alone in an apartment. I wouldn't wanna come home to a puddle of melted ice cream at my door! On the other hand I wouldn't wanna use my work address and then have the stuff arrive after I punch out!

[intoxicated662]

I ordered on the 5th and the delivery date is on the 19th. wtf? 2 weeks to deliver 1 gallon of ice cream is ridiculous. I know it's free, but I think that is a bad look on a new customer. I've seen a few things that are priced right and don't mind ordering again in the future but i'm skeptical now as I wouldn't want to wait later on down the line again and go through this. Anyone else having to wait a long time or am I the only one?

[BustaUppa]

Okay I was curious about how delivery works so I did a little bit of poking around on their site:Mealtime just doesn't get any easier than when it's delivered from Schwan's Home Service. Your items will be brought right to your home by one of our friendly Customer Service Managers, dropped off at your door in one of our convenient freezer bags if you're not home, or shipped via UPS in a reusable, insulated cooler packed with dry ice. All of which leaves you with more time to focus on the more important things in your life. Imagine that.So they drop a freakin cooler off at your door and the shipping is still free?? That seems a bit generous... I am confused!

[cin84_12]

Wow, thanks OP. Ordered the Caramel Ice Cream bars. yum

It says they charge extra for the bag. If you get a regular delivery that you have to be there for, it's free.

[WeaponX2099]

I ordered the heath bar toffee ice cream on wednesday and they delivered it today. Thanks!

[mwc547]

Just gone my today, Choc Chip Cookie Dough.

[mrcheapo11]

Sweet I got corn dogs. I haven't had a corn dog in like 5 years and everytime I go to the grocery I just stare at them thinking "thats too expensive for a corn dog" this way its free. w00t thanks.

Thanks for the idea! Went for mini corn dogs though, as they had the full $9.99 value :lol: (even though they weigh .25 lb less, but I'm guessing that's the weight of the sticks)

[mwc547]

Man, no double dipping on this deal. Blast!

[crispydave]

Mmmmm can't wait to eat all of my mini steaks in one day.

[n64ra]

they didn't deliever on friday as they promised!!

[smellhasreturned]

Got some Corn Dogs =D

[Visc]

In for 8 1/4 pound patties. Those should last me a while - if I got ice cream it would be gone in 3 days tops...

[luckycreature]

In for some ripple ice cream. They are calling to confirm a time. none of the days they gave me worked but next week my girlfriend will be home. ice cream will be .02 cents!

[GamerKingFaiz]

ice cream will be .02 cents!

You mean $0.02. ;) Why would they make you pay less than a cent for something. lol

[Shadowsfire]

Chicken enchilada meal for me! Thanks OP

[lakers310]

Has anybody had their order delivered in the middle of the night? I have some ice cream set to be delivered 8/13 at 12:00 am.

[Rollett]

That would be awsome lol, Swans man in Pajama's drops some icecream off at you door... probably more like throws it at your door....

[iowaholdem]

Can't decide.

I'm thinking pizza, chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches or the quarter pound burgers.

Opinions?

EDIT: Ha I went with the TOASTWICH Grilled Cheese thingers. http://www.schwans.com/products/productDetail.aspx?id=55359

[Gohan]

Got my french garlic bread yesterday. Even though my order said I had to pay $0.07 in taxes, I was not charged a thing. Hooray!

[lakers310]

That would be awsome lol, Swans man in Pajama's drops some icecream off at you door... probably more like throws it at your door....


I'm thinking more like a woman dropping it off and coming in, then reenacting every porn movie i've ever seen

[BustaUppa]

so they call you personally and you set up a time for delivery, is that how it works?? If I can definitely get it delivered when I KNOW that I'll be home then I'll definitely give this a shot.

[Visc]

my delivery never showed up - I never even got a call notifying me it wouldn't show up...

[Snake2715]

They have good food, the price gets a little bit high, but they use quality ingredients.

They also are the makers of red baron and freshcettas pizza. They use real cream as the first ingredient of their ice cream..

Good stuff.

[doodle777_98]

I got the pot pies and they are awesome. best microwavable pot pies. a bit small but good.

[Vader582]

We received our free frozen burgers yesterday. They actually came apart with little effort! Quite unbelievable. Also ordered some of the Chocolate Almond ice cream...killer. :D Thanks again OP!

[chimpian]

just ordered the tamales, the wife loves them.

how long does it take for these to actually get delivered?

[JUDOHAWK]

That's just when the Schwan's guy is in your area. They will wait to deliver until he comes by your house. It's like that in my town. The guy only comes around or is around every 2 weeks or so.

[meatwad3000]

just ordered a 11.5 inch pepperoni pizza from this , Thanks for posting the Deal OP

[luckycreature]

they never called but had a note on the door saying sorry they missed me and will try again on the 27th? long time to wait for my free ice cream, but free is free.

[Deona]

I just ordered the chocolate almond ice cream... Mmmm! Can't wait to get it!

[fizzywix]

So, after eating a ridiculous amount of cookies and cream ice cream, I'm pretty sure I will be making future purchases from Schwan's.

This promotion worked precisely as planned on me, haha.

[Vincent_Core]

I picked up the old-fashion apple pie. MMM, apple pie.

[DrunkTigerWoods]

jumped on the pot pies. thanks op!

[Drkmage]

Guy was supposed to come yesterday, waited ALL day until 7:30 when I had to run to the store real fast, and he friggin' showed up while I was gone for that half hour time period. Found a note on the door saying "Sorry we missed you". Guy left a contact number but no return date. I'm not gonna bother calling, not like I paid money for the food.

[GamerKingFaiz]

^^OUCH! That sucks. But still why not call them up, free is free, I think it's worth the little hassle.

[cin84_12]

Got my caramel ice cream bars today. So good and the delivery guy was really nice.

[Duckman5]

I got my Rocky Road Ice Cream today and it's really good. Good promo!

[GamerKingFaiz]

My delivery is set to come today. What time did you guy's deliveries come?

[Davideo]

They usually only deliver one day a week, every other week.

I just got my ice cream today and was talking to the guy. I got lucky because instead of calling me to setup a time like he was supposed to, he called as he was on the way. I was just headed home from work myself, and told him I would be home soon - I ended up beating him home.

He was telling me that they were swamped with orders from this free thing, and that they are doing everything they can to get the orders ready and give people notice. If you got the note, try and remember what day it was on, and in two weeks, they will probably be back. They should have called though, if you left your numbers.

[killer9]

awesome just ordered 5 things free food

2 orders burgers
mini corn dogs
chicken nuggets
pot pies

[GamerKingFaiz]

My order just arrived, I got Chocolate Malt Twist ice cream (http://www.schwans.com/products/productDetail.aspx?id=51208&c1=10236&c2=11274&c3=9264). And it is quite delicious, I love how creamy it is, and it's 1 gallon worth of it!! I usually get those small cartons of ice cream and that's gone within a few days. This should hopefully last me a little longer, haha.

I got the call an hour early and he set up the time. He was real persistent (I gave them my house phone and someone had misplaced the handset so I couldn't pick up. Luckily he left his number and I called him through my cell phone. I was shocked at how nice he was, and he sure as hell knew his stuff. (Mr. Malamud told me he worked there for 14 years now). I ended up buying some ice cream and sushi, and it rang a little high (For the total, not for all that I got.) but I definitely don't regret it because it's some delicious food.

So I'm curious, are all the drivers as courteous?

[steveb]

I used to work for Schwans. Please do not buy from this company and do not work for them.

a site has been set up at tripple w retail reality dot net that is frequented by former and present Rt Mngrs. The company has been involved in serious unethical business conduct.

...soo....how is this affecting my free burgers?

[XxFuRy2Xx]

Thanks for the awesome find OP. First time away from home and I can use every meal I can get.

[Be3fJerky]

If I get this, will they make me order something else?

[killer9]

yes they will hold u down and make u order sumthing else

[berzirk]

I got my cheese tortilini delivered. Missed the first delivery and was leaving the house at about 7pm when I saw the Schwan's Truck rollin up and got to him. He was INCREDIBLY nice, seemed like a good middle-aged guy who was working hard. He said he loves their ice cream in particular. Also said the free item has boosted deliveries quite a bit.

He asked if he could come back in a couple weeks to ask what I thought of the food and I told him sure. Might order from them again if the food is good, but the service was outstanding. Food is a little pricey though, so it might be like a gallon of ice cream as a treat every once in awhile.

[XxFuRy2Xx]

Placed my order earlier in the week but have yet to get a call from them to setup the delivery. I'll e-mail them or give them a call tomorrow to see what's going on.

[1SwtDeception]

The deal still works and yay going to get my gallon of ice cream. Thanks OP.
