Our local butcher's stuff is cheaper than the supermarket, right now, too,
and it's fresh. Plus, it's only a 5 minute drive away and the supermarket
is a 15 minute ride. It's a little stinky in there - but fresh cut bloody
meat stinky, not rancid stinky like "The Dreaded Meat Store" is. They also
sell all kinds of seafood (but that's PRICEY) and homemade sausage. It's
not open on Sunday or Monday, though. Hmmm, maybe we should go today?

My butcher does not have a lot of variety, but the stuff he sells is excellent
quality and at good prices. They are primarily into smoking and make terrific
bacon and sausages. He only has chicken occasionally. They makes a great
breakfast sausage in a roll. Their bacon is the best I have ever tasted. and
about half the price of the inferior stuff at the grocery stores.
