This really intrigues me.

Where do you buy such large amounts.

Just go into the butchers and say i would like a cow, pig whatever next week please.
Find a farm, knock on the door and ask the same.
I have no ide

Is it much cheaper?

I would love buy chicken in bulk, we use chicken nearly everyday. Ds loves chicken breast sandwiches for lunch. Having TM is great as it chops it up for me and makes it go a little further

Hally, I use to buy bulk meat from my butcher when all the kids were at home and it was a lot cheaper, but that is a few years ago, side of lamb, or a side of beef, some butcher will pack into the size you want, we preferred to pack our own, and then vac seal (no freezer burn) and it last longer. Have a talk to your butcher, he should be able to help or there is Mondo meat my friend just bought from them a bulk pack. There is e a place in Osborne park where you could buy bulk chicken haven't been there for years. Sorry I cant remember there name.

Thanks Jen. I dud nit have a clue. I will talk to my butcher when we get back from hawaii, but i dont think i will have the space. So need to run down our freezer

Is it much cheaper. I would have to buy a sealer and pack it myself into portion sizes suitable for us.

Hally, we have bought all our meat in bulk for the last 10 years.
Our local butcher does it all for us.
We buy a whole beast, he cuts and packs it to what we want, on the cut up sheet.
About $5.50 per kilo.

The last 1/2 beast we got for free, and we will get another 1/2 beast for free in about 5 months. (all we pay is for the butcher to cut and pack)

We buy lamb, pork, bacon, beef, chicken, fish all in bulk.

Oh I am so glad I married a multi skilled DH. He is a shearer , butcher, farmer, truck driver and concreter. Very handy when you need bulk meat for the freezer. But I Think having 2 DH's is illegal in australia. Lol.

Its probably not too bad Hally, A good Lamb here in Tassie is selling for around $150 Live. Although my DH has been selling a Lamb cut up for around $120. No sausages though.

I and a few friends brought a a cow (and split it up) a few times from this company http://www.dbctalkabouttaste.com.au/ Dardanup butchering company. They cut it up how you want and then they delivered it to us. It is excellent meat and works out quite cheap.
