How Much Cheaper Is It To Make Your Own Beef Jerky? | Full Recipe and Cost Analysis Included

now with correct calculations (i hope), thank you to viewer HeWishesForTheClothesOfHeaven for noticing the mistake.
with the price of beef jerky constantly increasing, it has crossed the line into groceries I am no longer willing to buy. I went through the whole process of creating a recipe and doing the cost analysis to show you the benefits of making beef jerky yourself.
I hope you enjoy this video, thank you very much for watching!

Not only is it cheaper, it is also fun to make something. So, win win ^^
Good video. I'm a little bit set back by the audio quality, but the content and the overall presentation was very good and informative!

I've always been disappointed in the taste of store-bought beef jerky. I guess I should really try making it myself to see what the fuss is about.
Also if your channel grows and you decide to invest in it, the first upgrade should definitely be a better mic. :)

[@davemakesfood]

it's definitely worth the time and effort to make for yourself, and the mic is first on my list as soon as I get my first youtube dollar, thanks for watching!

How much did 5 hours of electricity run ya? Likely not much but still a cost factor (that won't change the fact making it yourself is cheaper than buying.)
Great video. I loved making homemade jerky but I ran into an issue.... It takes five hours to make, and one hour to eat, lol

[@davemakesfood]

luckily my electricity is included in rent so that's not an issue, and I know what you mean - this batch is already almost gone...thanks for watching!

@@davemakesfood Definitely something to put in one's 'Ration' for emergencies or to always have 'on hand' along with Hardtack, Chuno Potatoes, Fruit Leather, Peel Candies

Thanks for this video, and the math, also it was cool of you to translate into pounds for us metric illiterates, lol

[@davemakesfood]

thank you very much for watching!

[@jesusistheopendoor]

can you use a chuck roast? that would be cheaper still and more chewy?

[@davemakesfood]

chuck has a large amount of intramuscular marbling which isn't great for jerky because the fat reduces the shelf life. however, if you enjoy eating the unrendered fat (some people do, some people don't), store it in the fridge and consume it within a week or two it will be fine. thanks for watching!

Luckily where i live beef jerky is atleast a bit cheaper because its not that popular

[@mohammedharziyanbinzahar4674]

All along i thought beef jerky is raw meat dried to f***.. that really look very tasty tho

[@davemakesfood]

it's definitely a lot better than dried out raw meat, thanks for watching!
