It’s that time, time to change those clocks! Spring forward, or fall back, the only way to remember what you are suppose to do. So what does spring time and changing your clocks have to do with Beef jerky? Good question, well spring time and summer time is the best time for taking trips, camping trips, hiking trips, fishing trips, etc.
And what you ask is the best snack for these excursions? Yes, you guessed, jerky! Think about it, what is always ready to eat, and always hits the spot, Jed’s Premium Black Peppered beef jerky. Now that just happens to be one of my top favorites, but with so many to choose from you need to bring and plenty just in case you might have friends or extra family that might just want to sample you delights. But let’s say you are headed to your vacation destination and something goes wrong, say a flat tire, or a road closed, well that could be a problem with many other foods, but not jerky, it’s ready when you are, so make sure you buy enough just in case. So we know that we have a food product that is easy to store, easy to eat, and taste so good.
The next problem is trying to decide what flavors and how much too bring. My suggestion, you can never have too much. With as many natural disasters lately, it might be a good idea to have extra with the other emergency supplies, water especially!
Besides being a good source of protein, did I mention it taste good? Perhaps you can think like this, going to the beach, Jedidiah’s Private Reserve Brisket of Beef Teriyaki flavor. Going to the mountains, Jedidiah’s Beef Smokies.
Going to the desert, Jedidiah’s Old Fashion Beef Jerky. Problem solved!
Sincerely,
Jerky Jed

Every year I, “Jerky Jed” personally get out and mingle with the Oktoberfest crowd, a fun group that knows how to party! Of course we sample the best beef jerky, Jed’s Beef Jerky of course! As every show we offer free samples, usually 3 or 4 different flavors. It’s always interesting to see what trends and styles and peoples taste. This year my belief is it’s going to be a warm winter and hot summer! Amazing most people are asking for the hot stuff, and the hotter the better! Now this is not a scientific study, just my personal observation. Now that does not mean the Teriyaki group is not large and impressive, but this year we have handed out more samples and sold more Jedidiah’s Private Reserve Hot and Spicy Teriyaki than any other previous show.
Perhaps the location makes a big difference, we were in the southern California area. And just maybe people in general are getting to like the spicier side of life, and like my title said, “some people like it Hot”. What will it be next year, will this trend continue? Only time will tell, but in the mean time we will keep producing spicy jerky for the hot and spicy group, and endeavor to make even hotter flavors to see how hot is hot. Perhaps we will develop beef jerky so hot it’s on fire right out of the package, like banana fosters made table side or maybe cherries jubilee. Let me check with the fire marshal first! Until next time we will just have to see how far we can push the boundary of spicy to who knows? Maybe someday jerky will come with warning labels, warning people of the heat content and the need for moderation, but it might be fun to watch!

Today I was looking at various jerky packages at a store shelf in my local grocery store. I noticed some packages on the lowest shelf and rummaged through them. There were a couple of packages of Hickory Farms brand jerky.
I looked at the expiration date, something I do everytime I buy jerky at the store. It had expired in January 2009. And this was August 2009!
The grocery store didn’t discount the price, or move the product to a clearance rack.
So what happens when grocery stores find themselves with expired bags of jerky? Do they just continue selling it?
The answer seems to be that some stores continue selling it. Jerky is one of those things that few people check the expiration date on. At the other end of the spectrum, folks always check the expiration date on dairy products. That’s because we’ve been trained to know that dairy products have a short shelf-life. But jerky? Well, the whole point of jerky is that it can sit on the shelf and remain edible for a very long time, and that’s why consumers don’t typically consider the expiration date.
But other stores sell them off to brokers who in turn sell them to salvage grocers.
The Associated Press ran an article today about “salvage grocers“, these are grocery stores who buy up food products that can’t otherwise be sold in regular grocery stores. These could expired products, damaged products, or products that had been opened…
Buffalo ribs that can be as expensive as $9 per pound at a traditional supermarket, sell for $2.99 a pound at the Friday Store. Deals like these come around when wholesalers order more than they can sell through traditional channels. But the food is always edible, Palumbo said.
Barbecue sauces, beef jerky, fruit drinks and chips can be purchased for 75 percent less than at mainstream stores.
If you’re talking about Oberto jerky, or Jack Link’s jerky, or whatever is cheap and convenient, perhaps saving 75% off the regular price is not a bad deal, if all you want is something to chew on.
So what do you think? Would you be willing to spend $1.00 for a bag of expired jerky, that would have otherwise cost $4.00 fresh?
