Where do you buy your Jerky?

Post by Bear86 »

This maybe a personal question but where do you buy your jerky?

I have been looking to stock up on some Beef Jerky but most supermarkets don't seem to sell it and it seems very expensive in places that sell it online.

I see Asda have just started selling jerky, i have seen it on their website but not in a store £2.28 for 50g or £1.18 for 25g.

I did recently purchase some of eBay but that was from a one time seller, £13.50 for 12 x 50g bags so £1.13 a bag that's the cheapest i've manged to buy and see it. The cheapest on eBay now is £13.99 for 12 x 25g which is £1.17 a bag that's more than i paid and for half the jerky.

Can anyone recommend a good place to buy jerky as i don't want to make it?

I make my own, either in the oven at home or over a fire in the woods.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

I'd learn to make it, like has been said it's easy enough with an existing domestic oven. it still wouldn't be cheap, and then you have a skill too, the whole point of Jerky was to preserve an excess from a kill too large to eat in time before it goes rotten, affording to buy Jerky in quantity for long term storage would make products from the mountain house range or MREs look more economic :lol: sounds more like an adiction than prepping to me go on admit it you're going to eat it aren't you ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

I buy mine from Costco or Makro, they're both wholesale stores. At Christmas they ALWAYS have a good offer on, I got around about a 400g bag for under £20 last year, I don't store much of it seeing as me and the dogs are the only ones who eat it, haha! If it's on offer this year, I'll be buying a boat load :)

I have seen it in Sainsbury's and i think in Morrisons too. From Sainsbury's it's £2.99 for 85g, i think it was on hangers on the crisp aisle.
