WHERE TO SHOP FOR CHEAP MEATS

Yes, we are carnivores, lip-smacking every chicken wing tip and beef steak on the plate, so there!
Meat, however, is not cheap here at your regular Coles or Woolworths supermarkets. Fresh yes, cheap not so. But we sniffed out this bargain wholesale place called PATTONS BIG GUN MEAT, about 20 mins' drive away. And boy, was the crowd there today on Saturday!
Here are some shots of the place. I like the way they arranged those fish, like trying to display them still swimming and alive! Look at the huge garoupa!
Just to give u some idea what meats cost around here on a bargain basis:
1. Chicken wings 5kg for A$10 (works out to $2/kg)
2. Chicken drumsticks = same (works out to $2/kg)
3. Premium (lean) ground beef = A$8.99
4. Chicken breast = A$6.99/kg
5. sotong tubes (big) =A$5.99/kg
6. banana prawns (something like tiger prawns) = A$19.99/kg Since the drive is so far, we stocked up enuff meats to last us for the next 2 weeks at $81, not bad, even if you do convert...
