$7,000 Worth of Jerky Reviewed

It took over seven years to review $7,000 worth of jerky. The biggest complaint that people have about jerky it that it’s expensive. While there are cheaper brands of jerky out there, yes good quality jerky can be expensive. Keep in mind that jerky loses 50% to 75% of its weight due to moisture evaporating during the drying process. Of course, the best way to get around the expensive price of jerky is to make your own homemade jerky. However, even homemade jerky is not all that cheap either with the price of meat lately.

Since we took it upon ourselves in 2017 to start tracking jerky prices, the price of jerky has remained fairly consistent. Using beef jerky as an example has only risen 5 cents per ounce since 2016 based on what we have reviewed inside this jerky review web site. Some of the more exotic kinds of jerky sold has taken us a longer to determine the cheap, average, and expensive price ranges.

The figure of $7,000 worth of jerky reviewed is misleading. The actual figure would be much higher, where the $7,000 only includes unique bags of jerky reviewed. If, for example, a jerky maker submits or we purchase two 3 oz bags of the same flavor, then that only counts as one 3 oz bag. If, for example, a jerky maker sends us one 3 oz bag and one 1 oz bag of the same flavor, that does count as two bags reviewed. There needs to be something unique about the bag, whether the bag size is different, the bag design changed, or the jerky has been reformulated.

We are proud of offering great exposure, giving the opportunity to get each and every jerky brand known to the market and community in this probably now 3 Billion Dollars annual sales dried meats industry. The jerky industry has a broad presence on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. As a general rule, jerky makers with high social media activity have good to great tasting jerky.
