Well that's not that easy.


$.99 a pound sounds cheap.





Honestly I dunno... maybe someone who knows WTF they are talking about can help us out.

Try  The Freeze Dry Guy . He's reliable, reasonably priced, and ships quickly! I've bought from him for years without disappointment!

Most people, if you ask, can't tell you what a gallon of milk or a pound of hamburger sells for. You gotta shop around to know the going prices are.

In this case, there's not a lot of options, so it's kinda of a case of how much you're comfortable spending. But I'd stay away from the Wise brand. I've not read any good reviews on it ever...........

Yeah Ive heard that as well.  Even with the 20% off theyre pushing right now, I find better prices on other brands for more servings.  I just wish I knew what a standard serving of certain meats went for.

The best deal I ever saw was this past fall, LDP had 52% (IIRC) off of list price for MH stuff, including their FD meats.



ETA:  That sale price isn't normal -- I've never seen it discounted like that before.  About once a quarter they have ~25% off list.

What did that bring it to price per serving if you dont mind me asking?

List price on diced chicken is $49.



$49*0.48=23.52



14 servings/container



$23.52/14=$1.68 / serving



Still not cheap.

NM see its 3/4 cup.  This is what gets me on price too.  Everybody's serving sizes are different...

You could go by price per ounce, per 100 calories, something like that?

That'll be what I have to do when calculating how good a deal it is.  Most of the makers vary in serving, between 1/4 to 3/4 a cup.  Just have to figure it from there...

So I found what seemed to be a good deal at Costco, problem was their serving size was 1/4 cup, so compared to a 3/4 cup serving, the price averaged out. So it seems like $1 to $1.50 for a 3/4 cup serving is about the sweet spot.  Anyone know of a place that gets closer to $1 per 3/4 cup serving?

That seems like a highly optimistic price target based on past prices.  But if you find it (or $1.75 non-ethanol gasoline), please let us know...
