Why does beef jerky sell for something like $30 a lb. on average? It is ridiculous. What else sells for that price?
I am talking about the stuff in the packages you get at the grocery store that is not very good - not necessarily the stuff that is made locally.

I know. same when I see brisket selling for $11/lb at a bbq joint. you can buy a whole brisket for like $1.50/lb to smoke yourself.
its the prep. jerky takes a long time to make and you go through a lot of meat..you're looking at probably getting 3-4oz out of a pound of meat in jerky by the time you take all the moisture out.

Jerky sales for 25-30 bucks a pound because first you trim it, then you brine it for three days, hang it and smoke for 6 hours, take it off of the racks, and then package it. It take three pounds to make one pound and it's labor intensive.
