Question: Mmmmm...monthly potato chips

Comestible of the month club? On a lark, I had our company signed up for Anchor O'Reilly's Chip of the Month, which turned out to be very popular here. We really did enjoy the novelty of a half dozen bags of unique potato chips showing up each month. CotM is going out of business and I'm looking for a nice way to fill that snacking void at a reasonable price.

I'm NOT looking for the results of "of the month club" search on Google.

I am looking for specific first-hand recommendations for or against similar services. I think we'd also be happier with savory over sweet.

Bacon of the Month Club

Zingerman's Zing Clubs are awesome in general.

I've heard great things about the King Arthur Flour Mix 'n' Magic Baking Club.

I got the bacon of the month club from zingerman's for chrismas. It was one of the best presents I've ever got. It ruled so much. A lot of the zingermans ones rule.

It includes shipping. Possibly overnight shipping, though they aren't clear on that.

vosges' Lunar Club Haut. i don't belong to the club, but i am a frequent customer of Vosges (both in person and through the mail/website). they do an excellent job of shipping/packing to preserve quality and it's some of hte very best chocolate i have ever had in my life. they're not all sweet, either.

Dean and Deluca do a cheese of the month thing. I have never done it, but I would like to.

They've got a 3-month program, 9-month program, and the Eternal Cheese Shippery thing until you don't want any more cheese.

As far as cheese of the month goes, I can recommend Murray's; just recently received a gift of cheese from them, and they have some really fantastic and unique selections.

I know you said savory over sweet, but the savory is covered. So without further adieu:

Achatz Pie of the Month Club

The pies are delicious. Pie pie pie pie.

Bacon of the month club probably won't fly for this group - too high effort. I can't see too many of my colleagues frying up a few slices for nibbling.

I appreciate the suggestions and will pass them around for consideration.

Dale & Thomas has a Popcorn-of-the-Month Club. Some sweet, some savory.

If you want to try it, they are offering two free bags this week, to anyone who wants.

Looks like UTZ has a Chip-of-the-Month Club

A bit expensive at $184.
