For those of you who buy meat in bulk - do you buy it through a local butcher? Halex - where do you buy your bulk meat from in Perth?  Those prices sound good.  Is the chicken and pork free range?

[obbie]

We buy from our local butcher.


Chickens are only 4 weeks old, when processed,not very old at all.

Yes the butcher is in Perth South of the River. Yes all meat is free range, chicken might have gone up in price since my last trip.

Where are you?

so much more organized with meal planning on the weekend.
Then doing a big batch cook up on Sundays.

Its actually alot more relaxed, having it all planned out for the week.

[obbie]

Can't wait, 3 day weekend to cook

[obbie]

still into meal planning, any one else still planning too.

[*suzanne*]

yes Robyn I've been meal planning for about 15 years certainly makes life easier;D;D

[Halex]

Yes still meal planning, but using freezer food atm

When we are back to normal, my goal is to use as much as I can from our freezer, fridge & pantry before we go away. Save the $$s as we have/having a lot of additional expenses at the moment.
