It's a little-known fact, but sometimes companies will do a "market test" kind of thing with their products in the dollar stores, first. Case in point: my mother bought some of the Mr. Clean no-dry car wash from the dollar store for, wait for it, $1. Within a week or two, it was nowhere to be found in the dollar store, but at all of the 'regular' stores for $5 or $6. I've also seen odd flavors of popular cereals and candybars getting trial runs in the dollar store as well.

the labor involved in making it and because it is beef.

try making your own beef jerky. Do it right and it will taste 10x better than most you will find in store. Prepare to have your domicile smelling like meaty goodness for the forseeable future if you go that route.

Beef Jerky from a dollar store ugh (dont buy) is either a close out deal, super small quantity to quantify the price of $1 or its a product called "chopped and formed" which means its cut and shredded beef that has liquid added and it then reformed in a forming machine to something that resembles actual beef jerky sticks or large two pack pieces kinda like Jack Links. The good stuff or expensive is "whole muscle" beef jerky this is perfect cuts of beef thats why there is such a significant price difference.

i just read this entire thread from the beginning. it's interesting to see how much the forum, in general, has "matured" over the years. now, i'm not claiming any of you fools act like adults, i speak for myself as well, but the general air of things is a bit more...lucid? no. uhhh....ooh, bacon is done. BACON!!!!!!!

I once bought beef jerky from a guy in a white panel van. I think it was 2002 and I was driving along a rural road in Spokane, Washington.

That town was weird and eight years of living there likely shaped my strange behavior.
