I went and bought meat in bulk for the first time today, a $155 meat pack from an organic butcher. I thought it was really good value as there was loads in it!
Who else buys meat in bulk? Could we get a list together of butchers that do good deals? The one we went to was Clarks Organic Butchers in Glen Eden. ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com">

I always do at the moment and really only get it from Pak'n'Save and Mad Butcher in Palmy. What did you get in the pack?? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Wow that sounds awesome, we've never done that before as we don't have the freezer space.
We do however buy $6 chickens from the Mad Butcher. They're great. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

we often buy a lamb and stuff. my freezer died and the insurance guy told me that i could get a lamb for $60 rather than the $80 I paid. i ended up going back to find out where he got those prices from - the butcher. yah insurnace man has ssave ed me money
the only thing I HATE about metapacks - too man sausgaes and too much mince (we buy the preminium cause it is less fatty) |

Man I WISH we had a decent sized freezer!
It would be so much more convenient buying in packs than having to buy every fortnight at the supermarket. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
