Mama Mancini Meatballs Available Locally

ECBG — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 22:34:45 GMT

I had a notion that Mama Mancini Meatballs were available only through local vendors, but our local Publix has them, and I can get them ready to eat at our local Fresh Market, but not in FM frozen foods.

Are the meatballs available in your area?

No, but I got some from QVC. They were okay but I'm not a huge fan of Italian food and got so sick of them, I could hardly stand to look at them. No more for me.

I have found them at Costco. My local supermarkets have them too. One keeps them in the refrigerated section. The special section with glass doors. The other store has them right before the deli in a refrigerated box.

I did see them once in the supermarket. I ordered Mancini's meatballs once and would never order them again, horrible. Whether on the Q or in the supermarket, I'll pass.

I had the meatballs one from Fresh Market's deli. I think I prefer all of the tomato sauce and mushrooms associated with spaghetti sauce.

The meatballs were hunks of meat with spices, very good, still, I love a lot of tomato sauce, mushrooms, meat, and spices.

Maybe I am not a "meatball person".

We enjoy spaghetti and meatballs so I'd buy a pack if I saw them in a local store. I'm not inclined to order a big batch from QVC before sampling them.

I've never had them, but they are sold in the freezer section of my local grocery store.

I make my own meatballs using my mom's and my grandmother's recipe. But I do see them at Publix in the meat counter section. 🍝

They sell them in larger Publix and Sams. They are OK but I like my own.

My favorite meatballs are my wondeful meatloaf cut up in meatball sized squares! Not alot of filler in it, and spicy and good!

There are several large supermarket chains in my area and one of them carries these meatballs. They were available as a single pack of 8 with sauce, so I did not need to commit to a larger quantity as with QVC. I thought that they weren't terrible but have not bought them again. I am only an average cook, maybe not even up to average, but I prefer the way that I make meatballs better. Something about the taste of any brand of frozen meatballs, not just mama mancini, that I do not care for.

I do not know if these things are sold around here but I would not not have them even if someone gave them to me!!!!! Tried them from here once, never again. If I recall, I didn't even keep them all. They were terrible.

How hard is it to make a meatball for goodness sakes. Im not paying premium prices for these over priced hockey pucks. More economical to make my own using fresh ground beef.

Yes, when I bought them from QVC a year or so ago, I really enjoyed them. Then I was pleasantly suprised to find they are in the prepared meat section of my local Publix too. I like being able to buy a smaller package than what QVC sells, so I now buy them from Publix.

Purchased the meatballs in the refrigerated section of Costco about two years ago. I was expecting them to be more flavorful based on the "hoopla" over them on the air. I added other Italian spices etc. while them simmered. I was also underwhelmed by the flavor of the sauce. It just needed more of everything.

They are in our Safeway store here on the Oregon coast.
