Traditionally Beef Jerky is a classed as a convenience snack and will be found in convenience retail outlets, so if you’re out and about and wondering where’s some beef jerky near me you’ll want to drop into the below places:
Do your research or suffer the consequences…🤢
There’s nothing more disappointing then looking forward to the arrival of an online order, waiting for the Postie to drop it off, you rip it open and chuck it in your gob and find that its rubbery, lifeless and inedible.
Here’s how to avoid absolute despair when ordering online or buying jerky from a retailer.
READ REVIEWS!
You want to analyze the reviews from all the different jerky companies online to give you an insight of quality, flavours, customer service etc.
The more positive reviews the better. For example, a company might have a 4.9 star rating based off of 40 reviews, versus a 4.7 star rating based off 963 reviews.. I know which company I’d be more willing to give a go!

READ THE BACK OF THE PACK!
See what makes up the ingredient list and look into the nutritional panel, if you notice 15 ingredients that are 17 letters long and you can’t pronounce then ya probably want to stay away from it as its likely its heavily processed beef jerky!
You want the nutritional panel to show a fairly high number besides the ‘Protein’ column, the jerky should be made up of predominantly beef considering its beef jerky, right?💪🏽
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case with heavily processed and extruded meat products from mass manufactures. Beef is naturally high in protein so when quality beef is made into quality beef jerky the protein yield is higher. This is a great flag for measuring quality!
Jerky Price Ranges 🤑
Beef Jerky can be a fairly expensive food, especially when compared to other popular snack foods such as chips and nuts. The fact is you’ll get what you pay for when it comes to Jerky.
You’ve got to remind yourself it’s made of beef and steak can be pricey! Basically, the better quality the beef and marinade ingredients the more your jerky may cost. 🐄
We like to think buying jerky is similar to buying whisky... you know the top shelf whisky is going to be a helluva lot smoother and more enjoyable than the discount whisky. The same goes for beef jerky.
