I have been struggling with beef, chicken, pork and turkey since I was sleeved in Oct 2014. I had almost given up on these until today! I went to my local Coles Supermarket and bought Local Legends Beef Jerky made right here in Australia - its made in New South Wales with 100% Aussie Beef and firstly it not only tastes good.. but my Sleeve likes it!! Maybe its because it forces me to chew forever and a day! I'm so going to be stocking up on this product!

Yep, beef and turkey jerky are my "secret weapons". By that I mean that whenever I'm unsure of what the food situation is going to be, I plan ahead by bringing along a bag of jerky. That way I can't be caught without something appropriate to eat. A bag of jerky is a satisfying meal!

Beef jerky is one of my staple snack items too. I've been known to stock up on 8-10 huge bags at a time at our local Costco (which lasts me about 3 weeks!). It's SO much cheaper to buy it in bulk! I have trouble with the sodium though. If I eat too much of it, I gain water weight the next day. It's always temporary but I'm aware ingesting too much sodium isn't good for me!

Thanks for the tip, i dont have a costco membership but my brother does. It's a fair distance from where i live down here in Melbourne. Ill be giving him a call today to see when he is going there again!

I should probably clarify that I'm not sure it's the brand you mentioned. I don't have it with me at the moment but the teriyaki one they have is awesome! A huge bag is the same price you pay for a small bag in the stores.

all good, my brother still had a pack he purchased last time he went, Mariani is the brand he got and said there were lots of flavours available he just couldn't remember the price he paid. But i will be going with my sister in law shopping there sometime this week
