My fiance and I have an obsession with Jack Links sweet and hot beef jerkey. Everytime we see that a store has this brand/flavor we buy at least two bags of it. It's fairly expensive at $5 a bag. I am looking for places that sell this in bulk either online or otherwise but I have had no luck. I am now turning to anandtech for help! Any responses are appreciated.

I don't have any ideas, but I love Pemmican brand jerky and would like to know where I could buy it in bulk, too.

Have you checked your local warehouse clubs to see if they carry it, and at a discount?

I haven't seen it at sams at all and that's really the only place around me as far as warehouse stores go. It's hard to find even in the single bags.

I searched online and found I can get them for about $1 cheaper a bag. Have you tried that?

There's always the option of buying a food dehydrator and making it yourself. I'm sure you'd probably pay for the device within a few months.

It's probably not all that much cheaper. High quality beef is just expensive, and we can't get it as cheap as the jerky companies can.

yes I've looked online and it's the same price I can get it for in the store. It's like $2 buying direct from Jack Links. It would be nice to be able to get high quality for somewhat low prices but you're right high quality beef is expensive.

Why not ask the manager of your local store what he would charge you for a case? Chances are there will be a big discount from the retail price.

are you sure that they use high quality beef? as our friendly kwik-e-mart owner said, "try our new beef jerky, it's nearly rectum free."

The strip jerky like Jack Link and Pemmican is high quality lean beef. It's not processed, you can SEE what each cut looks like.
