For real.
YoSoyMilk
It's true. I was at 7-11 last night and on their "wall of shame" was a picture of a dude with "BEEF JERKY THIEF!" written on it

Beef is fundamentally something like 6x as expensive to produce as most other meats. Expect the price to keep rising.
BicknBackBeingBool
Look at all these jerky experts
FH2actual
It's just more cost effective to get a dehydrator (or jury rigging to cut even more costs) and make your own at home.
PiratedVhsTapes
I get mine from Savagejerky.com it's priced fair
IDownvoteUnsaucedPosts
It's 8.99 for the SMALL bags here, and 3.29 for the single strips.
Cheeselicious
We have a rule in my family. No eating beef jerky in the car on road trips. Stinks up the whole vehicle in a matter of seconds
RSSwizard
I once got some for 25 cents an ounce. $6 for 24 ounce bags. Bought the whole case. Must have been in prepper food stockpile.
Remembersupersips
Eat a bag of Dicks my good sir ill keep my Jack links
SkylerWhiteismyfavoriteBreakingBadCharacterSaidNoOneEver
There's a school nearby selling it to kids for nearly $2 a little bag!!! If I was a parent to one of those kids I'd be talking to the 1/2
SkylerWhiteismyfavoriteBreakingBadCharacterSaidNoOneEver
Food Service Director and ask them how they can live with themselves by putting that on the shelf. Yes let's take the kids for all they got
MeMeasaur
Make your own and see how much it costs
apollocat213
Is it just me or does it look like he has balls on his chin
darkhalfbreed
DAMN STRAIGHT
KintsugiHeart
The place near me has it for 3.99 for 3 oz... Which isn't too bad...
Kajesan
If it's tender and tastes great and in great quality, no price is too high, unless they cheap out on the quantity -.- it's blasphemy
SirRichardFrancisBurton
If you try and make your own you will see how much labor is involved hence the cost
ZzzombieeZ
I just hate that most beef jerky brands are loaded with sugar. Ick!
WhataboutBobWiley
i use this. saves a lot of money https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3JetOoEngs&feature=share

Not really when you consider that for every pound of meat turned into jerky, 80% of the weight is lost during dehydration.
Corrodias
It's closer to 66%.
LOOKATTHISNETTHATIJUSTFOUND
What happens if put it in a glass of water? Does it turn back into a pound of meat again?
johnnygat
Yes it will not
LOOKATTHISNETTHATIJUSTFOUND
Cool
Chefreign
Exactly.
Hulkhulkthehulkinghulk
80% of meat is water? Goddamn
ObiWanShalomi
Never tried beef jerky, but I always see that stuff everywhere.
HadMeSomeChickens
WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
ObiWanShalomi
I'm Dutch, in the Netherlands it's not widely available. Looks yummy :D Maybe there's import stuff but I've a feeling it's way overpriced.
HadMeSomeChickens
Let me look up meat shipping laws. If I can get you some, I will.
showmeyourbut
I just recently made some jerky. Took some pictures along the way and am probably going to make a post about it. Lots cheaper homemade.
dangerkitty
showmeyour... jerky.

I should not have clicked. Now I want jerky.
DreamCatcher01
My Dad makes the most amazing venison jerky ever. I don't hunt but I look forward to deer season every year just for that reason.
edoburrito
Mm can't wait to get some deer jerky this fall! Cousin of mine makes some good stuff as well
AlexDuos
You should learn to hunt. Homemade jerk is pretty fucking epic.
DickDastardly404
I mean, sure, that's an option, but I might just put that lower on my list than trying to find £25/m in my budget somehow.
Hiphopapotomus
Oh lawd, that venison jerky!
Egreshen
Learning to hunt isn't the hard part, it's the fucking epic jerky making that is.
AlexDuos
Both parts are fun though!
ChaosBobio
In Diesel Mech class another student brought in deer jerky from his own doe He shot. Heavenly good shit.
McKuck297
Yup allows you to know exactly what's in it, where it came from, extra satisfying knowing you made it yourself too
HadMeSomeChickens
You should trying making it from your own children. Don't get much more homemade than that.
McKuck297
Too stringy
RayLynch
Did you know that beef jerky is the most expensive meat there is? Do the math. Filet Mignon ~ $14.00lb. Beef Jerky > $16.00lb.
schopier
Jerky is a refined product. It's like saying smoked salmon is a more expensive fish than salmon.
GlimpseOfCrabs
Jerky has also lost 70-80% of it's weight due to dehydration.
docmuteki
Quality (meat) is costly.
Scobebo
For the planet? Yes.
EmissaryofGondor
well its not qulaity.
Fweezerker
that's what I said to @op 's mom last night. (giggity)
ramonday
And creating jerky that actually has a meat taste and not just 99% spices is very time consuming.
ChernobylCowboy
So true, but just to bad that it is usually not quality beef they use, they choose a cheaper option to keep the cost down
OnlyLennyFace
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
IGotYouGoodRookie
My meet is quite costly, can confirm
thegreatninjaman
Its nice that your mother is there for you.
OneMemeToRuleThemAllAndInTheDarknessBindThem
hes got the clappers
HadMeSomeChickens
And cheap meat make shitty jerky.
docmuteki
Amen to that.
SlayerAustin
Whats your opinion on jack links and companies like that? Worth 7$ a bag? I don't think so.
HadMeSomeChickens
No way. I mean, it's not terrible--I loved it growing up--but it's night and day compared to home-made.
HadMeSomeChickens
I find it 'wetter' than real beef jerky, and also the flavor is much more mild--less of the soy sauce & liquid smoke flavor comes through.
goonzilla
Make your own
Lockhunter
Could you make a how to post?
barqshasbyte
Mine never tasted very good :(
GlimpseOfCrabs
Mine were fucking AMAZING, but they didn't really end up being much cheaper than store bought. Meat is expensive AF.
RagDollz
My dad sliced his thumb three times cutting up deer meat while making our own
broncos80girl
I've always wanted to ... Do you need special equipment?
daelith
Can also be done with some electric ovens.
thewaxdog
I've made it in the oven. slice thin, brine for 24 hours and put in oven at lowest setting.
APackOfExcitedGingers
The minimum equipment is an oven. It's easier if you have a dehydrator and a jerky gun.
broncos80girl
Thanks! (Nice user name by the way
DigitalGuru42
Alton Brown made one with pleated air filters and a box fan.
AsianJim
After reading "Alton brown", nothing in that sentence surprised me
MrComanche
Tony Stark made one in a cave, from scraps.
Kedearian
Add a small heating element like an incandescent bulb to speed up the process. I made one in a cardboard box.
NuclearMagneticResonance
What cut of meat do you need to use?
thewaxdog
London broil.
ihavenocluewhatimtalkingabout
My friend uses pot roast. Get different seasoning and marinades. He uses Worcestershire and garlic.
HadMeSomeChickens
I've heard of people using ovens on low settings, but a dehydrator is a worth while investment. $30 on amazon.
broncos80girl
Thanks!!! I've heard of both but it sounds like a dehydrator is the way to go!
Alavar
Yeah a meat dehydrator. They're fairly cheap though.
goonzilla
Any dehydrator really
broncos80girl
Good to know!! Thanks
Graylinfaux
Nah Bruh just throw that shit in the oven, 160 for a few hours bruh.
Alavar
Alright this is true.
Taquitosauceman
In all seriousness, make a good marinade. Let you 1/8 inch strips soak for a day, then lay them out on a drying rack. Put said drying (1/2)
Taquitosauceman
in the oven at the lowest temp ya got, then stick a ball of aluminum foil between the door and the oven to stop it from shutting. done in 4h
broncos80girl
Hmmm - thanks man!!
Taquitosauceman
yup yup! Glad to help. Happy cooking! OH, important note. Don't forget to flip the jerky halfway through.
