I bought a semi professional meat slicer , and a decent dehydrator. Now I make my own beef jerky and saving tons.

    I've read several reviews that suggest DIY beef jerky is only slightly cheaper, and it's a surprising amount of work per pound. The TL;DR of those reviews was that it's just not worth it.

    Has that not been your experience? I love to eat it but it's pretty expensive.

    It was a lot of work without the weight tools. It takes me about 5 min to cut meat, prepare marinate .. Then next day about 5 min to set dehydrator. The advantages? is variety of flavors, no bs chemical, volume. I buy a full round beef for 30 bucks at Costco and that makes the equivalent of about 70 dlls of packaged beef jerky.
