Going in with another couple on a whole beef as well as farm fresh eggs, etc. More pricy original outlay, but may be the way to go for the long haul... once we could buy a freezer. Already items are missing from stores and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw a cost of 155.59% on a xmas roast. What normal person can afford that? Geesh, hamburger is nearly $10/lb. That used to be the poor persons meat!

Im on cellphone. Forgive typos please. Tiny kbs with a mind of its own for spellcheck!
