Buying large amounts meat

[Frozzie]

haha hally you are hopeless!

over here the meat comes vac packed in bulk and alot of farms sell it... last time i got 12 kilos of beef in different cuts for 12 euros a kilo which is cheap or normal for here...next time im buying organic which suprisingly not much more...

id just shop around like you normally would and find the best deal youi can in your area

Yes Frozzie I am hopeless,LOL

I am going to order the  lamb when we are back from hawaii.

My lamb tob nly has 2 items in it. Mind you i dont think 1whole lamb is going to fit nicely in my tub, so will have to look at reorganising a little bit more.

Grass fed beef, this seems expensive, but i dont have a clue

1/4 Angus Beef Pack - Deposit
Approx. 35 - 50 kg Natural Grass Fed Angus Yearling Beef. $17.50/kg full price between $612.50 - $875.00 This is our most popular pack that will...


Obbie, your meat at $5.50 per kg approx is amazing

  Hally the most we pay for a full beef, or 1/2 (side of beef) is $5.99 per kilo.

Its just the normal price for bulk.

It saves us $2000 per year when you buy beef, pork, lamb, fish, chicken in bulk, all the time.

we have 3 chest freezers, and 2 1/2 are full at the moment.

I have never heard of meat that cheap either even in bulk??? but I have never bought bulk in oz either

obbie are you getting it from a butcher or a wholesaler??  We used to pay nothing for our beef but it was our cows lol...and the payment for the butcher cutting it up in the proper cuts was giving him the bits we didnt want

you guys are lucky though as beef over here is super expensive, especially if bought at the butcher...first time i bought a fillet of beef, around 1kg piece it cost me over 50 euros...nearly fainted there and then in the butchers and that was 10 years ago lol

over here our bulk beef which is not a side of beef but usually in 10 to 15 kg boxes, vac packed in different cuts is 12 euros a kilo...if you shop around you will soon get an idea of price for bulk in oz

Where do you buy from Robyn?

[Halex]

I havegoogled and googled and cant find a much better deal than what i have reported back.

Maybe we should freight it over from over east

Anyone had better luck than me in WA

  I buy from a local butcher.
We have 3 that we have used, in the last 10 years,
all the same price though, all within 20 minutes of here.

This time we got a side of beef for free from a friend, so we just payed the butcher the cut up / packing. $200.00 In 6 months we get another side for free too.

Well I rang my butcher and he said he woulg get a price list for me & email it through. He was talking around $10 kg for a whole lamb. How exciting, i cant wait for the price list & the neat they supply is all free range.

THANK YOU OBBIE

Obbie are you in Melbourne? I'm looking at doing this and looking for a reliable butcher.

[obbie]

Sorry Wonder, I'm in Yungaburra.
which is 1 hour from Cairns. FNQ.

But if you go and ask your local butcher, they can give you a better deal than Coles/woolworths.

They can have it cut / packed to what you want.
just ask, and you will get a better deal.
