Underground Meat Market
Want to save money? Eat only the finest? Buy Local? Then you need to get your hooks into the Underground Meat Market.
Steps:
!) Find a Hutterite Colony that sells chickens, turkeys, and other meats.
2) Put in your order. No funny business.
3) Promise to meet them in a grocery store parking lot.
4) Meet them at said grocery store parking lot at said time.
5) Collect the goods.
This is fantastic in a multitude of ways. First off you are buying frozen meat out of a van. Secondly, you aren’t paying taxes (that you can see at least). Third, it’s the mad cheap. For $49.65 I got one 19.57 lbs. Turkey, and two BIG chickens. Lastly there is an opportunity for exercising the barter system, makes me wish I had some skill that was tangible & useful, and the “fix your computer” card will never work.
Caveat emptor, you will be grilled to smithereens about your conviction to actually go through with the deal. These are obviously cash only deals. And, there won’t be any pop-ups in these turkeys to tell you when they are done, Butterball has nothing on this.

BONUS: While I can’t say for certain at this juncture, I am 97% certain that these carcasses will be fit for turning into a fine stock. Which if you have ever tried to make stock out of a store bought chicken you know it is a hopeless endeavour.
