#481 Buttermilk Pancakes 8- 3 count pkgs 2.1 lbs regular price at $5.99 Now half price or 2 for 1 plus 1.00 home delivery charge No coupon needed, discount added in at checkout Pancakes 100% positive feedback for their pancakes.
This is particularly for those that used their free 10.00 dollar schwans offer a while back, for Schwans coffee and now need a good deal to finish their breakfast menu
I can't see paying some poor schmuck to drive a giant truck up to my door to deliver frozen pancakes and a sales pitch because I am too lazy to put water and pancake mix into a bowl and stir it.
Perhaps a low price, not a good deal for me.

I got a gallon of Butter Pecan ice cream ($9.99)a while back using the Schwans $10 off coupon code provided here at FW. The driver was very kind not putting a hard sell at all on me. He thanked me for my order and did not even ask for the $1 surcharge that was posted here and on their website.
I did the free $10 thing, and never received my order. When I sent an e-mail saying, "Hey, I neve received my order", I got a reply saying they'll look into it.
The other day, I got their "Order NOW!" advertising e-mail. So I wrote back, asking why I should "order NOW!" when I never recieved my first order? Got a reply saying they'll fast-track looking into it.

Pancake mix? It's really easy to make your own, you won't have the off taste and color that most commercial mixes do (from the cheap corn flour they use), and you'll save a bunch of money. Try this:
1 1/4 cup flour (regular, not self-rising) 1 Tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder pinch of salt (optional)
Mix together the above. Add 1 to 1 1/4 c milk (depending on how thick you like 'em) 1 beaten egg 1 Tablespoon cooking oil
Mix the above together just until moist; you want a few lumps left. Cook on a hot skillet. Turn once only when the bubles start to pop, or when the bottom is the right 'brownness'. Remove when a spatula tip can be poked into the center and comes out dry/clean.
Oh -- if you want great buttermilk pancakes, substitute 1 cup buttermilk and 1/3 - 1/2 cup milk for the milk above; add 1/8 teaspoon baking soda to the dry ingredients.
Add some fresh blueberries, or diced apple, a bit of cinnamon, strawberries, or even sweet corn for a special treat.
But when you add up all the cost of those ingredients than add in the preparation time plus the energy costs to cook with, are you really that far ahead of 2 dozen schwan pancakes for $3.00??!!

Maybe not the first time.
Let's see -- five pound bag of flour is $2.00. Something like 20 cups of flour in that bag. Gallon of milk is $2.00 around here; 16 cups of milk in that gallon.
Call it Flour: .10 Milk: .15 Egg: .15 The rest is almost too cheap to count, but call it another dime for them and electricity or gas to heat your griddle.
That's $.50 for pancakes for two, fresh off the griddle.
Too much time? Make a 4x or 10x batch of the dry ingredients, scoop out a cup or two when you need it. And your kids or significant other will look at you in a way they never will if you take something out of the freezer and defrost it.
It's green, also; no way can it be good for the environment to cook something, freeze it, store it, send out a 4-ton refrigerated truck to deliver that one item to your door and reheat it -- compared to making and eating it in your home.
