• You want curated variety without choosing cuts yourself
• You've calculated your per-pound cost and it's competitive with local options
• You value the sourcing transparency and animal welfare standards

Better Alternatives

• Costco: Grass-fed, organic options, 40-60% cheaper, buy as needed
• Local butcher shop: Often better quality, supports local business, buy what you want
• Crowd Cow: Similar model to ButcherBox but more customizable
• Local farm CSA: Direct from farmer, often best value for grass-fed
• Whole Foods sales: Watch for Prime member deals on grass-fed meat
