    I want to thank you, because of this episode, I've taken to buying larger portions of pork and butchering them myself. It really is much more cost effective. I got a decent slow cooker roast and 8 boneless chops out of it. I'm very satisfied.

      Buying the larger cuts of meat is almost always a money saver. I also like buying the 2 or 4 pound package of smoked sausage, because I can do so much with it (I have an almost unhealthy appreciation of Cajun/Creole food, I live about an hour and a half east of New Orleans). Hamburger is another budget friendly go to for me. Anyways, keep up with the experimenting.

    While I enjoy a good steak as much as the next person, buying a good pork loin, a Boston butt, hamburger meat, a beef roast, and some smoked sausage are my go to meats. There are just so many things you can do with these meats AND they tend to be more budget friendly since you can stretch them into a variety of meals.

      Highly acidic foods will harm cast iron. But it is still the best for most foods. I use a big cast iron pot for stews. It just tastes better.
      Once we'll seasoned and nice and grubby, mostly nonstick. Great stuff and cheap, too.

    • @billh.1940
      @billh.1940 Год назад

      I'm in NYC and loin was 2 bucks, but more now. You can go to a wholesale butcher or a club, get whole cuts and a good sharp knife, cleaver.
      You will have a month's supply of meat, beef works well, in many places you can rent freezer space, used by hunters and restaurants, saves enough to pay for it self.
      It is harder to save now, but not impossible. Oh! Forgot about victory garden.

  • @andyhoster3902
    @andyhoster3902 2 года назад

    Meat producers in 2022: Yeah, about that. We're going to need you to pay $7 US per pound for 80/20 mince, and $5 per pound for that whole pork loin. $7 if you want only part of it. That pack of nasty, trimmings-laden hot dogs and the ultra-cheap store-brand bologna are going to cost you a whole $5, too, because we cannot allow anyone to eat cheap anymore, apparently.
