This is a question Money-saving tips

I'm broke, you're broke, we're all broke. Even the smug guy on the balcony with the croissant hasn't got two AmEx gold cards to rub together these days. Tell everybody your schemes to save cash.

Look for Meat Wholesalers near you
Google is very helpful for this, and you can save an absolute fortune by going there.

Last week, I picked up 3 packs of bacon, a tray of sausages, 2 T-Bone steaks and a decent sized ham shank for £16.50. Even if you have to drive a distance to get there, you'll save money in the long run.

There are a few Brazilian shops
dotted around the UK.

They sell the beef that is used on Brazilian barbecues. It is top quality fillet, in 2kg lumps.

It's so cheap in Brazil that they buy it, ship it here, and still sell if for less than you'd pay for local rump steak.

Works out about £7/lb. I buy one every couple of months, have them carve it into 3 or 4 pieces and stick it in the freezer. Cut it fine and flash fry it on a hot plate, it's fucking lovely.

Gotta agree with this.
Couple of years ago, whilst preparing for a BBQ, I got a 15kg box of frozen pork rib racks for £8.
Now beat that that for meaty value fellow b3tans ;)

Our local butcher
Does bulk-buying on all the main meats. I think it's something like £7.99 for 2.5kg of chicken. Any meat you get from a half-decent butcher is far superior in quality to that of a supermarket. I love going there.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUTCHER!

Farms around here advertise half a sheep for around 20 quid.

I think that's in meat form and not a night's rent.
