What exactly am I getting?
Pay Less for Meat is a 796-page PDF ebook by Gus, presented by oldfarmbutcher. It contains 99 chapters in 12 parts and seven appendices, including six worksheets. This offer is for the ebook; it is not a physical book or video course.
How much money could I save?
That depends on your current purchases, local prices, usable yields, waste, and any new costs. The book helps you identify opportunities and calculate them. The page’s calculator illustrates what a repeated price difference could add up to; it is not a promised result. The book itself explicitly avoids guaranteeing a dollar amount.
Is it just about beef?
No. Beef, pork, poultry, lamb, goat, game, specialty meats, fish, and shellfish all have dedicated coverage. You’ll also find buying strategies, cooking methods, meal planning, and storage systems.
Do I need butchery experience or expensive equipment?
You can begin with receipts and the buying worksheets. The book includes a minimum-kit chapter, knife guidance, and safety chapters to read before any cutting. More advanced techniques may need additional equipment; the equipment chapter helps you evaluate the cost.
Will this work for a smaller household?
The book includes reading paths for small freezers and household plans for one, two, four, and six people. It discusses when smaller purchases make more sense than stocking up.
Do I need to read the whole book in order?
No. Follow the Fast Start path or look up a particular cut, shopping decision, or cooking problem. Cut Cards, charts, chapter references, and the glossary help you return to what you need.
Where do I purchase it?
Use any “Get the ebook” button to visit the oldfarmbutcher Gumroad product page and complete your purchase there. Review the checkout page for payment, delivery, and purchase terms.
