For the past several weeks I've been trying a wide variety of super-premium beef jerkies, some of which cost nearly $50/lb (!).
Jerky's been what's for dinner, as well as breakfast and lunch.
But I digress.
A box of 46 (forty-six) snack-size Slim Jims costs $11.47 and they're available everywhere and you don't have to pony up for 1/2 to 1 lb at a time.
In case you were wondering: that's 25 cents apiece.
To my great surprise, I preferred Slim Jims to all but two of the high-priced jerkies which were (best to worst from the top):
• Archer ($23.20/10 oz)
• Jack Link's ($12.59/8 oz)
• Oberto ($16.99/7 oz)
• People's Choice ($31.99/lb)
• Wild Bill's ($44.99/lb)
• Brooklyn Biltong ($47.49/lb)
The two worst are also the most expensive.
If price were no object I'd opt for Archer though it's a bit more juicy than I prefer when it comes to jerky.
Big fall-off from Archer to Jack Link's, and a similar large gap down to People's Choice et al.
