Christofficer Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy some good freezer packs? Not in huge quantity, just enough so I have enough for 3 people for a few weeks at a time. Maybe I'm just being picky, but superstore and safeway meat are really starting to taste more like chemicals than wholesome meat products. Maybe something a little less pricey? I used to go to red deer lake meats to buy freezer packs but those are a shot in the dark now and not so cheap as they used to be, sometimes the meat is good and sometimes it has the same bland taste as grocery store meat. Any info apprecated. I kinda feel like a noob asking this on a fishing forum, lol..... Quote
Taco Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Won't be any cheaper but have you tried buying direct from the ranchers? Online, farmers markets or in the classifieds. Honest truth, I buy my meat @ Costco but wherever you buy, look for AAA grade meat. Anything lower and it's more of a crapshoot Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Costco is the only place to buy meat. Get a vacuum packer too. Quote
BBBrownie Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Get yourself a rifle, some shooting skills and a tag next year and blast a white tail or two and this will fill the freezer. Doesn't get any more organic than game. There are many whitetails running around, and they are non-native to Alberta (they followed agriculture and development north) so they are also a more sustainable choice than feedlot beef. There is also Second To None meats, I know there is a location on 4 st and around 21 Ave SW (mission next to Casablanca Video), they specialize in free range and organic meat. Quote
Tungsten Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 I p/u some meat at Balzac meats,for a taste test and it was good.I will return. Quote
bhurt Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Go to Andy's Meats in Avenata Mall or go to the better butcher, those are the only two places I will go when I can't get meat from relatives. Quote
