It's easy to make yourself in a dehydrator or in the oven.

>>13892231
Because it takes like 3 pounds of beef to make one pound of beef jerky. They're doing all the work of making it for you and shipping it to a convenient location.
If you don't like the price I'd suggest making it yourself in a dehydrator or smoker. It's a simple process and there's a lot of experimenting you can do with flavors as well that can be pretty fun.

>>13892231
have you tried not being retarded?

>>13892262
10 pounds to make 1 pound since beef is 90%+ water

>>13892408
You're not getting rid of all the water, idiot. You'd have to mince it into a slurry and rupture all the cell walls to do that.

>>13892231
Find a local beef jerky brand. They'll be cheaper and better than the name brand gas station trash.

>>13892262
Correct. You lose a ton of weight in the process of making it and there are a ton of other costs involved in actually getting a legitimate commercial set up like insurance and shit. Not to mention obvious cost of meat, spices, packaging, labor, electricity, transport, etc.

>>13892408
Wrong. I make jerky, you lose 50-60% of weight during dehydration.

Also Jack Link's is hot garbage. It's fucking terrible.

>>13892451
Shut up nerd

>>13892231
Just make your own. I've gotten back into making beef jerky recently, pretty great.

>>13892578
i found my favorite jerky at a gas station, turns out its from the opposite end of the country.

>>13892231
Make it out of heart. Cheapest red meat and perfect for jerky/

>>13892723
What is a good cut to use to make it less expensive?

>>13893163
London broil is always on sale near me but any lean cut works. Freeze it for an hour before cutting it.

>>13893163
It really depends on your market, but top round has been affordable and consistent for me. It's lean, but has a tiny bit of fat. Like the other guy said, freeze it for at least an hour so that it's easier to cut thin consistently.

It's the fucking kikes

>>13892578
Not here. Any local beef jerky is usually more expensive.

>>13893163
London Broil, just make sure to cut off as much fat as you can.

>>13894762
>>13893236
london broil's not a cut of meat.

>>13892723
>file name
>three meme flavors in one

>>13892231
>complaining about $10
I realize the world is in a slump right now, but how fucking poor are you?

>>13892231
someone's gotta pay for those commercials

>>13894788
Hello Autist.

>>13896133
London Broil is not a cut of meat. Google it.

>>13893026
Whats the best kind of beef to use? Or can you just use whatever kind of beef?

>>13896468
No shit Captain 'Tismo.
Would you have preferred if he just said "Any cheap cut of lean meat."?

>>13896492
Considering that he specifically asked for which cut of meat for cheaper, yes.

>which cut of meat is best for jerky?
>POT ROAST!

You fucking idiot.

>>13896475
What do you mean by which kind?

>>13895577
>spicy is a meme flavor
>garlic is a meme flavor
weak

>>13892408
>beef is 90%+ water
?????

you know what actually IS 90%+ water?

watermelon.

>>13892231
how the hell does dried beef have carbs in it? why do they always do this? I'd like someone to just make some fucking normal peppered beef jerky

>>13895577
are you talking shit? because that jerky looks great

>>13896692
I have a loose understanding of what carbs are, but I'm guessing sugars. Lots of marinades have some kind of sugar.

>>13896743
not my marinade when I make jerky. you'd have to drink half a bottle of dale's just to get that many carbs

>>13896692
>>13896743
Sugar and Brown Sugar in the marinade, yes.

>>13896756
1.4 tsp of sugar+brown sugar divided across all the jerky isn't really a lot.

>>13896775
it ruins the flavor and makes it not dry out properly. it cures into this rubbery shit instead

>>13894728
yeah prolly

>>13896835
>>13894728
"it's the jews" has been the whistle of a frustrated, sub par retards that couldn't figure out how to get out of even sub-mediocracy for hundreds of years now.

Read the thread and make your own jerky. That's why it's expensive, there isn't a Big Jew Jerky conspiracy, you dinguses.

>>13897194
ok shlomo

>>13897194
>Big Jew Jerky
"Big Jewky" was right there and you wiffed.

>>13897262
>>13897267
>no actual argument.
just stop

>>13897354
what argument is there to be had?

>>13894728
>>13896835
>>13897262
>>13897267
do goyim really?

>>13897377
That other people other than yourself are the problem.

>>13897394
so its my fault beef jerky is so expensive? is that your argument?

I get why it's expensive I just don't understand why it's gotta be so god damn sweet. If I wanted candy I'd get m&ms, what the fuck is wrong with these assholes, it could be the best gas station snack apart from cheese curds but they have to ruin it

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of price fixing or public misinformation thing.

You can fucking make it yourself and see that beef jerky is cheap and easy to make and BETTER, mass production beef jerky has no fucking business being as overpriced as it is.

>>13897479
>beef jerky is cheap
I mean, you're still buying meat by the pound and drying ~75% of the weight out

>>13892231
$4 for same amount at Aldi

>>13892231
because Jack Links is about the only and dominating brand and it's made and imported from New Zealand.

>>13893163
Eye of round, ignore the retards saying London broil, they're too stupid to realize that's not a cut.

>>13897400
Yes and no. It's not hard to figure out how much jerky costs to make at home and then add in commercial costs. It's not like making pasta.

>>13897479
Please do the math on jerky and post it here next time lol
