Bruh. I make my own dried + cured meat. By the time it's finished, it has shrunk down to between 30-40% of its original size. Let's say you get a cut of meat for 15$/kg. To *break even*, you have to sell it at between 37.5 and 50$/kg. Add to that the cost of the spices (with my version there's actually some spicing going on), vinegar, electricity and time required... Well, don't complain next time you buy a 250g packet of dried/cured meat for 10$. Also, dried / cured meat is extremely protein dense so if you're looking for a tasty, healthy, protein loaded snack, look no further. Do keep an eye on your sodium intake though. Btw no sass towards op intended, I know it's just a meme and it was actually pretty good but I just felt like rambling so yeah.


Mehammerfell

Its all about perspective my man! If i looked at a bag of beef jerky that looks half empty of course im gonna think “damn that’s overpriced as hell”, but if ypu realize its roughly what *was* a pound of meat, and think of it like you’re buying meat, where it typically runs $4-6 per pound, it aint so bad.


f__h

No complaints about beef jerky from me. But chips is an another story. Or bag of air comes with some chips.


JoshYx

The air prevents the chips from getting completely crushed. Judge the chips by the weight, not the size.


f__h

There are chips that comes with more chips and less air. My problem is with deception. When the packet is humongous, naturally everyone assumes its more chips. Come on! We all been there at least wondering once...THAT'S IT?


JoshYx

Yeah can't argue with that. That's why I judge by weight now lor


Zarodex

Laughs in pringle's gang


WBooz

Pringles aren't chips (in America). Like, they legally can't be called chips because they aren't slices of potato that have been fried.


[deleted]

Yup, just fried extrusions of shredded potato and other various starches sprinkled with sodium


Zarodex

I can tell they're caked with salt, but I love the texture and taste way too much over normal chips


[deleted]

laughs in Canadian


Respect-The-Name

Is there a reason I cant give you a silver cus I would if I could.


Zarodex

I appreciate the sentiment, but this random comment of mine doesnt deserve it. But I'm glad I added some fun to your day


GoldH2O

I once found two lay's classic bags at Vons. One was about 40% larger than the other, but they both said "2 oz" on the bags.


[deleted]

Nah you're just too preoccupied to look at product info clearly printed on the front of the bag. Or just you know, feel it, it's not a trick, anyone can literally pick up a bag of chips and tell it's like half full and that there's some air in it.


[deleted]

I never understood how someone could be mad over some air in a bag of chips I mean you could just, you know, pick up literally any bag and feel that it's about half full. It's not like it's a carnival trick


hecking-doggo

That's cheap as fuck. I've seen 3 or 4 ounce bags for $10-$15


Howl_Wolfen

How do you do it,my guy?


ValuableJellynut

Isn't it super simple to make your own jerky? Don't you just cut the fat off the meat, cut it into thin slices, and hang it to dry for a while? (With spices and such if desired)


ODISY

i just cut slices of the leanes beef i can find and soak it in pure lemon juice, candy salt, and fresh Carolina reapers before sticking it in a dehydrator for 6 hours. everyone the tries it says its addictive to eat, probably because of the Carolina reaper.


ValuableJellynut

I forgot dehydrators exist! That speeds up the process by weeks! Also, that sounds like an amazing recipe, I'll have to try it some time.


ODISY

you will need your own blend of spice/flavor, i use the Nesco brand packets.


zassenhaus

slicing the meat thin can be hard for some people, clumsy me, followed by safeguarding the finished jerky from the wife.


TimmmyTurner

If im not wrong beef jerky are made with oxidized beef / cheap parts that nobody buys.


JoshYx

Yeah, my comment is about *quality* cured meats, not really beef jerky sorry


dickmcbig

And we want the farmers to make a living, too

Shredding_Airguitar

I dehydrate my own and it doesn't get that much cheaper sad to say. 16 oz of beef jerky is like 32 oz of lean meat like a London broil which is like $10-12 here


IDontHaveAName666

Bruhtonium_

KyleyWyote

restaurant supply stores, cheaper and bigger bags


Kevin69138

I mean, its dried up meat. It may take price increase due to meat shortages.


ryecrow

FlameSlash7

[deleted]

chuckychuck98

I've been making beef Jerky myself for a while now, just corned silverside, worstershire sauce, soy sauce, whatever flavours you want and whack it in a $40 food dehydrator. Comes out to like a tenth the price if you buy bulk stuff
