I figured that the price would be outrageous. Granted, it was a bit
high but I didn't think that it was brutal. Considering the quality of
meat our local butcher shop gets, he cuts it to order, vacuum packs it
to order and then quick freezes it. I didn't think that $3.00/lb was
as ridiculous as I expected given the horror stories that I've heard
about.

Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.


$3.00 per lb. is actually pretty reasonable for vacuum pack! :-)

I paid a bit over $2.00 per lb. once for a whole "range veal". Got about
200 lbs. of meat double wrapped in butcher paper for $500.00.

It was a weanling brangus range calf. Oh GODS was it delicious!
Guilt free too as it was not a true "veal".

I plan to do it again as soon as I have the cash, and the freezer space....
