I've been trying to find somewhere that does bulk meat delivery at decent prices as the places I was going to aren't available to me now I've moved. There are an awful lot of ridiculously expensive options out there, I'm not sure how they have enough customers willing to pay that much. One I just looked at came out to $43 a kilo, and half the box was things like mince, sausages, chicken fillets etc. that are generally a lot cheaper. One that let you choose your own options had little packets of bacon that came out at $83 a kilo. I'm happy to pay that for a couple of top end items, but it is way too high for an average.

Edit: I think I might be able to get some from one of my old suppliers, I think they just need to update the details in the database for the ordering website as I am in a new suburb that isn't listed. Fingers crossed this works out and I can fill up the freezer. They primarily sell to small businesses so have a lot of options that just aren't available retail, including things like different types of bread flour, so I can stock up on a few pantry things too. ๐Ÿคž
