Mantry
Cost: $75/month
Ships To: United States.
Coupon Code: N/A

Mantry (aka the Modern Man’s Pantry) is a food of the month club that lets you discover the finest american artisan foods – and gives you ideas of what to do with them.  It’s $75/month and has been around since the Fall of 2012.  It’s one of the more expensive subscriptions we get, but B loves it!

Mantry ships via USPS Priority Mail and ships around the 20th of the month.

One of my favorites parts of Mantry is the crate it comes in.  We used a bunch for B’s bar in the basement and still have a bunch left over that we need to find a use for.  We’ll figure it out though.

Mantry crates are always packed full and are super heavy!

The May 2015 Mantry theme was “Island Time” and included the following items to help you reel in summertime a bit more quickly:

~Granola Jones Pistach-A-Colada ($6.99): I don’t love pitaschios, but this mixture is pretty nice.  Mantry suggests it for breakfast with milk and sliced bananas mixed in and I think it would be good on yogurt as well.

~Hamakua Macadamia Nut Company Black Peppah Macadamia Nuts ($11.99): I was thinking Mantry was just going to suggest snacking on these with beer, but they have, what sounds like, an amazing recipe for a Macadamia Nut Crusted Fish Sandwich.  I can’t wait to try that!

~Jule’s Gourmet Jerk Sauce ($7.95): This is a new item and totally new brand for me.  It’s made in New York, NY and can be used a sauce, marinade, whatever!

~Fusion Jerky Island Teriyaki Pork Jerky ($6.99): IN the short amount of time that B will be home next month I suspect this will be consumed.  And quickly.  They are soy soaked pork strips and contain no artificial ingredients.

~Reed’s Candied Ginger ($6): If I was pregnant I would be all over these.  In fact, I don’t know why I didn’t ever try any ginger candies when I was sick every two seconds with WB!  I will save some of these for when the boys have tummy aches and will take Mantry’s suggestion of using them in cocktails too.

~Liber & Co. Pineapple Gum Syrup ($8): I know we have received this in the past.  If not in Mantry then somewhere else. I am all about trying the Barbados Rum Punch recipe Mantry suggests.  The sooner the better actually.

All totaled I came up with a value of $47.92 for the May 2015 Mantry.  I don’t except the values of Mantry boxes to be in excess of the cost of the box, but I do wish they’d be at least $60 or so every month.  It seems like the past few months the values are just getting lower and lower ;(. I really hope that Mantry wows us with an amazing value box next month!
