Best place to find good affordable meat ( online, Local ? )

It looks like there is a GFS near you about 6 miles away. I buy bulk meat there a lot of times.

What is a GFS?

I think I found them Gordon food ( never heard of them ) they are advertising a 10 ounce ribeye for 6 bucks but on the label it say needle tenderized containing up to 17% patented Solution ( WTH is that ) !!! not to sound too picky but i am not into mystery ingredients that I thought by law were supposed to be on the label. I will go there with my wife and check them out perhaps not everything will contain mystery stuff in it. LOL Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the suggestion but we are just two retired people no tax id.

May still be worth contacting. Some may still let you purchase. You set up a practice as a boutique or hobby business. Don't always need a tax id, some will fill in with your ssn. Doesn't hurt to ask.

This is most likely a frozen product. Their fresh meat is different.

Yeah I was just going through what they have listed online and they have what we are looking for fresh whole briskets with the point and complete Ribeye with Lip on this way I can trim it myself getting the cuts I want and use the rest for Burgers or other recipes. Looks like it will be a go to source for meat and possibly other products. Thanks for the suggestion. ( since I am disabled I do not get out much i would have never knew they existed ) now hopefully they are affordable ( fingers crossed )

We have a separate freezer full of boxed garbage I bought the last I was at Bjs with extra money and I made the mistake of going there hungry so now I have to eat my way through all of that to make room for the good stuff to go on the smoker. LOL

I think you will find the pricing on bulk meats to be excellent. Check out shoulder clods if they have them too.

I live in a Florida but apparently under a rock, Most of my friends know where to get whole hogs and other great meats yet this is one red neck that just is not well informed I guess.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Check on internet for local beef for sale and maybe you will find something.
