Actually I went there because I've hunted high and low looking for ground bison.  The same ground bison I used to get at my neighborhood grocery store in Whitehorse. :P

You would love my butcher.  He has bison steaks, ground meat and even bison pepperoni - a real favourite of the CC clan.

But I go to him mainly for his free range chicken and eggs, pork (where I got the ribs) and grass fed beef.  The CC clan may love him a bit too much come to think about it.  We spend between 250-350 there weekly.

If you start insisting on free-range, grass fed, no antibiotics meat, that shit gets expensive.

Yeah, but even if he's paying 10-20 bucks a pound that's still pretty high consumption for a family of four.

Close to it actually.

That might be a lot for the average family but you need to consider that my boys are now 13 and 15 and they eat a lot.

Typically each week I get:

4 ribeye steaks  - nice and thick (about 2 inches) about 18 ounces each.
4 racks of baby back ribs
2 pounds of chicken wings (make a nice snack)
20 sticks of bison pepperoni
8 chicken legs and 14 or so thighs (basically whatever they have left in the display case)
4 large chicken breasts
2 pounds of stewing beef
2 pork tenderloin.
24 free range eggs
16 no crap sausages.
2 packages of perogies (got to love a butcher that sells those!)

And then whatever they have that week that looks good.  For example, they have a guy who supplies them with pulled pork made with a smoker every once in a while - when that is in I buy it all.  I just cant replicate that sort of thing on my grill.

When things start cooling off I will move toward more roasts in the oven and less grilling outside but we keep doing at least some of that all year round.

So there, all essential food groups covered - beef, bison, pork chicken and eggs.

Awesome. Needs more pork though.  :P

Seriously, that's a lot for one week. You must not eat out much at all.

No, we dont eat out much.  We eat no fast food for example.  But I do like taking the boys for sushi every week or two.
