The price of beef jerky has remained surprisingly consistent since our last July 2017 Jerky Price Update, where the price of beef jerky has only risen 5 cents per price range as of August 2018. Note that this is using the median price rather than the mean price.

Just for reference, here was the beef jerky prices from January 2014 – July 20/2017.
