How to make your Meat Money go Farther!!!

Buy in bulk and butcher yourself! It will save you a lot of money!!

2025/12/17 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're looking to maximize your meat budget, buying beef in bulk and doing the butchering yourself can be a game changer. For example, when beef tenderloin goes on sale, purchasing a whole piece rather than steaks can significantly reduce the cost per pound. Instead of paying retail prices for individual cuts, you get to portion the meat exactly how you want, which often results in more usable meat and less waste. A practical approach is to buy a whole tenderloin—like the one purchased at $11.99 per pound for about $60—and you can end up with multiple steaks, stew meat, and roasts for your price. This method not only stretches your meat dollars but also gives you greater control over the quality and sizes of your cuts. To successfully butcher your own beef, you'll need a sharp boning knife, a clean cutting surface, and some basic knowledge of the primal cuts of beef. There are many online tutorials and videos that can guide you step-by-step on how to break down a whole tenderloin into steaks and other cuts. Additionally, portioning meat yourself means you can tailor your cooking plans more precisely and reduce leftovers. You can freeze portions in sizes that best suit your household needs, helping prevent food waste. Buying bulk meat usually requires more upfront investment and storage space, so be sure to have adequate freezer capacity. Also, consider food safety by ensuring your workspace and tools are clean to avoid contamination. With a bit of practice and preparation, bulk buying and self-butchering can transform how you spend on meat, allowing you to enjoy high-quality cuts at a fraction of the usual cost while expanding your cooking options and saving money in the long run.
