I would guess due to the amount of meat needed. Beef jerky REALLY loses weight due to dehydration.
If you really want it for cheap go buy a dehydrator and make your own :)

That's not beef! ;)



BTW, I like this stuff. Me and my brother just bought 9 pounds! of this stuff with an average price of $17.22 a pound. It's the best stuff.

A friend of mine bagged a bear on his last hunting trip, so I got to try some bear jerky. It was pretty good.

Jerky at Costco is like.. $10 for 2 8oz bags.. there's plenty of it too.

But the best hot jerky I ever had was a sportmans show.. habenero infused jerky of some type.. damn that was hot but oh so good.. I think it was like $15 for 3oz? It's been too long. :(

Make your own. Use really lean hamburger. If you look around on Google you can find some methods that work really well. here iis a
LINK to start with.

I thought you were suppose to use really lean/thin flank steak? I would think hamburger meat wouldn't work quite as well?
