Chuck roast is my favorite! At $4.99/pound, I buy a huge one at Costco for about $40. I cook it in the Instant Pot, then chill it over night. After cold, I slice it up into chunks. I will eat it for the next two weeks with eggs. I can get 10+ meals out of it, so only $4/meal!

[@chrack2624]

Chuck roast is my favorite too but I cut it into bite sized chunks and air fry it. It satisfies the state cravings for me but so much cheaper; I serve it with fried eggs and dip the bites in the runny yolk. My local farm to table co-op always has chuck roast available $5.99 a pound so it's basically my entire meal plan because I love it so much.

[@marklanders630]

I like to shred it after pressure cooking and fry until crispy like hash before adding a few eggs on top.

[@lf7065]

I salt mine and put it in the slow cooker. OMG, the meat becomes so tender and juicy and the fat like butter. I'm so hooked on it, lol! 😋

[@bobc8649]

Chuck roast is $7.49 here.

[@davem4193]

I buy the 7 bone chuck steaks or roasts. These contain the chuck eye. They are $5.99/lb here but they go on sale for 3.99/lb. and I stock up like crazy.

Buy a lean cheap steak on sale and ask the butcher to make 30 pounds of hamburger. Then make packages and freeze some. Best hamburger at the best prices. Chewy steak made tender.

[@robertsilas807]

@derenard I feel like the country style pork rib cut doesn't get enough credit. It's an especially fatty cut, but if cooked well, it's extremely flavorful and it's not too hard to cut around the excess fat.

When chuck roast goes on sale at your butcher or grocery store, ask to buy the entire chuck roll. Out of a 20lb chuck roll, you can get about 6 chuck eyes, 3-4 Denver steaks, 5 -7 lbs ground chuck and 2-4 roasts depending on how thick you cut em. Save the labor cut it yourself. Lots of videos on how to process a chuck roll

[@charlesjackson1588]

@@skelatons63 it actually makes pretty good bbq as well. Just make sure you keep the rendered fat to pour back over the top. Some parts of the chuck can dry out when smoking so pouring the fat over it will give it more flavor and some moisture

Tri-Tip! I get it on sale at Safeway in Hawaii every month for $5 lb. Cooked whole on the grill ( indirect heat) for sixty minutes for rare or slice across the grain for steaks that grill quickly. Ask them for " untrimmed " if the ones they've put out look too lean. Costco sells a forty lb. Box of chicken thighs for $30.99! They are small and fairy mangled, but that's really cheap. Salt the skin and cook on the grill over low heat skin side down for fifteen minutes, flip and cook for another fifteen minutes until the skin is crispy.

[@lauriehaas7386]

I used to buy chicken thighs at Costco but noticed that every single thigh had a broken bone. Every single one. Made me wonder where they get the chicken and how was that chicken treated while it was alive. I just can't anymore.😢

[@has25252]

I also get the pork belly strips, cut them in 1" chunks and throw them in the air fryer on 450 for 12-15 minutes and they come out crispy., magical flavor nuggets.

[@Rystarvz]

Try baking your chicken, uncovered skin up at 400 degrees for 45 mins. Just a little butter and salt, comes out perfect everytime.

[@lexxfyre]

Tri-tip is great! It isn’t marketed as often on the east coast, so I’m always excited when I can find it locally.

[@stevenhull5025]

I can imagine the chicken's quality considering it's from the costco wholesaler. There seems to be a lot of water coming out of the chicken and beef when I cook them.

[@expansioniskeyrn]

5-9$ per lb is the same price for strip steaks & ribeyes! At a grocery store, the best budget cut is whatever is on sale that week. It will rotate back in a month so you’ll get to eat all cuts. And if they sell in whole, cutting it up yourself will save even more.

I've heard a lot lately about this carnivore diet thing so I thought I would give it a try. I thought it would be expensive but it really has been less then I thought. I spend about half the $$$ I would have spent including veggies. I eat till I am full then stop. I eat once or twice a day with no snacking. I drink water and coffee - black. I am 57 5'8" and started at 230lbs. Now two weeks in I am down to about 210lbs. I was not even trying to loss weight. It was more about just getting to a point of feeling better. Now I figure I will set a goal of 180lbs. I think the biggest change was cutting out carbs altogether. I have not observed any issues and do not really miss the carbs other than the fact that I still like them. I do not feel I have to have them though. I also do not do dairy, process sugar or any wheat products. I do not eat any processes of packaged man made "food products".

[@bugzziee]

Where I live, brisket can be purchased for $3.99/lb at Sam's and Costco. I cut it into chunks of about 2 pounds each. I learned this method from Pioneer Woman, so look for it in her site. I salt it well and bake it at 250* in a covered heavy pot, fat side up for about 4 hours, until tender. Remove the lid and bake at 350* until the fat is golden. You can slice it and eat it right away OR chill it and slice it as thin as you like, salt and fry it in a pan or air fryer.... Beef bacon baby!! Delicious hot or cold for on the go.

Yes, brisket has really dropped in price and I have bought a few over the years,, when they were low priced. If cooked slow,(crockpot or oven), it makes an incredible roast, that simply falls apart.

Hi Bella, I'm finally beginning my carnivore journey and your channel is amazing, very helpful. I feel blessed I've found you. My body needs to detox from fruit and vegetables. I've never been a vegan, but I would mostly consume tons of fruit, enormous salads and then I'd have some meat and eggs, mostly olive oil and never butter. I would rarely cheat on flour baked goods and chocolate. But the fruit and vegetables might be the reason I never feel satiated full and I keep craving sweet foods. I absolutely need to get rid of my cravings for carbs and stop obsession on fruit. It's going to be very hard in the beginning and hopefully I'll be able to cope with the fruit withdrawals during the first 2-4 weeks, hopefully not more than a month 🍀 Starting is the tough part.

[@robertmcmullen7930]

You are 100% correct, you get good flavor and good cost. Another option you may wish to try is purchasing a whole cow at one time. We did this, it was priced at hanging weight and you have some control over what it is fed, ours was grass fed and finished on grain, I would recommend at least 2 months on grain. Also you have some options on aging, I would recommend a minimum hang time of at least 21 days. The total cost per pound was $5.00 per pound plus a $75.00 slaughter fee. That was vacuum packed meat, the last cow hung at 853lbs and took up 1 large chest freezer and 1 large upright freezer with little room left over. Another advantage is having everything cut to your specs, our butcher gave us a sheet to fill out. This has lasted us, 2 people over a year, it is now getting close to getting a order in for another cow We are in a very rural area and I know of at least 2 ranches that offer this, you may have to travel out of the bigger cities depending on the area of country you are in.

Carnivore is actually much cheaper for me because normally I would be buying gluten-free bread, crackers, cereals, biscuits, etc which are very pricey.

[@SteakandButterGal]

Very True!!

[@trextrextrex]

Very good point

[@BriarRoseA]

#1 for me is chicken wings!! Easy to cook, nice and crispy in the air fryer with Redmonds Smoked salt and painted with butter before serving. It pairs nicely with wild caught sockeye salmon or beef flanken short ribs. 🥰 Update: Newest favorite Delmonico steak $7.99/lb on sale. Chuckeye steak $5.99/lb on sale.

[@susancourtney7710]

IF you’re lucky, you can find it for $12.99/lb on sale around where I live… Crappy Ground Beef is $10-$11/lb in my part of Canada 🇨🇦😢 WOW to the USA prices on Beef!😮

[@scottdobson1276]

If I am serving brazed Short Ribs, I will get 1 rib per person, then cut some cubes of chuck a similar size, for those who want more. It's often half the price, and just as Good.

[@tsadaqah]

I buy ground organ meats at us wellness meats. I usually add it, 2 ground to 1 organ, to my grassfed ground beef, I was able to buy for $3.99lb locally. It really adds a richness to the flavor.

7 day carnivore here. New to this. I just had cheese omelet, one burger patty, topped with 2 creamy yolk fried egg, sour cream on the side, and 2 shrimps. Yum! Edit: 9th day. I have to lessen my cheese intake. It gives me a little gassy, but manageable.

[@punchkitten874]

Your dairy tolerance decreases on carnivore. Just like other foods that we really shouldn't be eating (as adults), you notice your body reactions more readily when you clean up your diet. Sure, dairy is carnivore. But treat it as a carnivore-friendly flavoring, not a food.

[@punchkitten874]

@@RickieBobbie0721 Use it instead of milk, but you'll phase out most dairy anyways as your intestines heal. You'll really notice gas and diarrhea directly caused by excess dairy consumption when you're not eating anything else that can cause that. I used to cheese everything, now I eat it maybe once a week. I think our bodies craved milk & cheese as a good fat source when we were eating like sht, so we kinda keep an attachment to it going carnivore. But I really don't miss it

I make a carnivore meat loaf with ground beef. I add eggs, ground pork rinds, spices. Topped with cheese.

[@the9-2-5outlawgamer]

I live in an area where there are truckload sales of meat, poultry and seafood that set up shop at local gas stations with prices that compete with the grocery stores. But whenever I grocery shop, usually $8 to $10 is my sweet spot when it comes to buying meat. I am not ashamed or embarrassed about buying it when it's marked down and days for it to be frozen or consumed.

[@leewafer6583]

Chuck roast is used a lot here in Texas for Chili, and Carne Guisada, beef short ribs are really popular down here, beef cheeks are cheap and make Barbacoa, and boneless pork shoulder normally runs $3 a pound, and makes great Carnitas .

[@vanessaeriksson1212]

I do chicken soup, beef marrow, beef liver and beef picanha. I will test pork ribs tomorrow, which is also a cheaper option. I'm unsure if I tolerate pork or if it will trigger inflammation.

So much B-1 in it! We've been doing one pork meal a week. Hope it goes well for you.

1yr carnivore and new subscriber here. This is a great video! Chuck roast ($8.50/lb) is my favorite. I travel for work and cook all of my meals in a Nija Foodi Grill (air fryer.) I wrap the roast in foil to bake it. Then slice it cold and reheat with lots of fat to make it flavorful and crispy brown. I have also started buying tallow to add to cheaper, less fatty cuts to bring the fat content up to a level that’s best for me. Love the channel. Thx.

[@Paul-hl5ls]

I bought a 21 pound chuck roll the other day, it’s in the oven right now for Friday dinner. First time doing this... wish me luck. Prior to this I'd cook 4 or 5 chuck roast laid edge to edge in my big broiler pan. Carnivore meal prep, I love leftovers.

[@Paul-hl5ls]

For chicken I fill my deep fryer with tallow or lard, buy the big 5 pound bag of fresh drumsticks for about $6.50 Tallow frying any meat makes everything amazing

[@boink800]

One great source of meat: those Mexican stores. I can get beef liver for just $3 a pound at one.

Thanks for all the information! I am in the Philadelphia, Pa. suburbs, home of the delicious Philly Cheesesteak. But, most of the good delis, carry the rolls, and cheese to make them at home. But, the best thing is they also carry, the thinly sliced rib-eye which is the main ingredient. The secret is, they slice it on their slicing machines, when it is partially frozen and close to paper thin.. Some places have it already sliced in their freezer section in 1 lb. portions. So, you can use this meat in any way you want and is very tender and yummy. On a side note, my daughter is a transplant to the Seattle area, since 2008. She and her husband just purchased a home in Port Orchard, and she takes a ferry to work every day in Seattle.

[@hollybishop484]

We can usually get brisket here for $5.99lb and we slow cook it in the oven. Once it hits temp we cool completely then throw it in the air fryer to make crispy bits! My kids love these and my picky eater ears them with homemade ranch.

[@pattireznik5547]

9:56 In Phoenix you can find great 3-5 lb chuck roasts for 3.99 lb. a few times a month. I salt liberally and dry in the fridge 24 hrs. Put olive oil all over and add 3-4 C bone broth before putting in the crock pot on high for 6 hrs. I add butter bites when I warm it up and i really crave this tender delicious meal often.

[@jona5517]

Pork belly yum.

I am currently obsessed with flatiron steaks, a much cheaper fatty cut than ribeye.

[@erinlikesacornishpasty4703]

I love a flat iron too!

[@christinethomas8422]

I can only find flat iron in Dillons/Kroger stores. But we love it too!

[@papajeff5486]

Stock pile before prices go up: 1. Chuck eye steak 2. Top round steak 3. Short ribs, flank ribs, bbq ribs 4. Ground beef For pork, keep skin and fat on 5. Skin on pork shank 6. Chicken wings 7. Suit or beef fat trimmings, very nutritious and versatile

[@jd9119]

If you want to get different (but really good) cuts of meat at low prices, go to the Mexican supermarkets like El Super or Vallarta (or whatever is in your area). You can get things like neckbones, lengua, pig hooves, pork snouts etc etc. Some of these "cheaper" cuts are a lot more tough, but that's why we have crockpots. Black pudding is another affordable option too (it's relatively hard to find in the US, but it's very cheap when you do). It has its own taste and texture that some people love and some can't stand.

[@user-rb3zh6sz1b]

Chicken wings baked in duck fat until brown and crispy yum

THANK YOU SO MUCH for including cooking instructions, it really helps!

[@sportysbusiness]

I eat nose to tail, the only part I don't often eat is the eye fillet, no fat! If you eat everything you never get bored as you grill, stew, roast, BBQ, bake or braise so you get very different flavours and textures. That said, ribeye is still my favourite.

[@susans7091]

Best to learn when your local stores do the meat markdowns. I have saved a lot. Now cooking the suet in small chunks in the airfryer - yum! Awesome. And then the liquid fat left over can be poured into small containers for pure tallow!

Hey there, in an old video you say that you make your own bacon out of pork belly. Would be great to see a video with you doing this and maybe other ways you like to cook pork belly. Thanks

[@CarbageMan]

Pork loin can be had for around $2 a pound. It sous vides very nicely for 3-to-8 hours at 131ºF. I cook half loins and keep them in the bag for days in the fridge, the pop them open and slice off as much as I want to warm up and eat as desired. It's really convenient. I brine it overnight before sous vide.

[@sandramarshall2477]

Hey Bella! Subscriber here. As a 2yr carnivore, I found buying ribeye and nystrip roasts more affordable if you can cut your own steaks. You're paying more $$ for someone else to do the labor. I have a large wooden cutting board and a large serrated knife to do the job. It is VERY EASY to cut through a roast. My local US foods here in Oklahoma, currently has ribeye roast @ $7.99/lb. typically, the roasts are 15-17lbs each and NYstrip roasts run @ $6.99/lb and weigh around 12 lbs per roast. If you can handle the upfront cost to buy the roast and cut it, makes the steaks super cheap! Last rib eye roast I bought cost $130. up front BUT yielded 17- 1" thick steaks that have ALL the fat still on them. (meat dept. doesn't trim the roasts). I bet steak and butter guy would enjoy the roast carving and handling the big knife. 😂 Love your content! Keep up the great work. 😄

Please can you do a video on organ meats and meats that the average person probably wouldn't eat, like hearts and tongue. I'm struggling to find carnavore channels that talk about that sort of thing.

@NickolasPane, I would like to second your request for other meats as well as organ meats. I really enjoy liver and bacon. Chicken gizzards are an epicurean delight.

[@Sandra-hk8ks]

NICKOLAS, IM AN OLD FARM LADY THIS IS A TIP ON COOKING TONGUE AND HEART. 1) TAKE THE TOUNG AND SOAK IN REFRIGERATOR IN SALT WATER OVER NIGHT . THE NEXT MORNING RINCE AND PUT IN BOILING POT. BOIL, SIMMER UNTIL THE TASTEBUDS START COMING OFF. THEY WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE SKIN AND WILL PEAL OFF LIKEA BANANA. REMOVE FROM WATER AND LET COOL. THEN PEEL OFF TASTE BUDSSKIN. YOU WILL HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SMALL ROAST. SCLICE AND SEASON LIKE STEAK AND ENJOY . ITS WONDERFUL COLD TOO. 2) HEART WASH AND SOAK OVERNIGHT IN SALT WATER. WRINCE AND COOK IN WATER, BROTH CUT IN HALF. SIMMER UNTIL YOUR TASTE FOR DONENESS. SCLICE AND ENJOY I WOULD ADD BUTTER ON TOP AND ENJOY VERY HOT. I HOPE THIS HELPS. THE TONGUE IS WONDERFUL COLD W/ CHEESE , ONION, MUSTARD, MAYO AND LETTUCE SAND FOR HUSBANDS THAT ARENT CARNIVORE😂

[@SteakandButterGal]

Noted!

[@johntrench]

I have had Chuck eye steak, and I’ve seen this recommendation before on several channels. It’s a good recommendation, however, I have found that Chuck steaks are very difficult to find. I have checked with grocery store, butcher shops, and found that many of them no longer, do full butcher service, and don’t have Chuck ice stakes available, except on a very rare occasion. The full-blown butcher shops available in my area. Also, do not have ice steaks. Nor are they $10 a pound or less. They are, however, quite delicious, and, when prepared properly, are every bit as good as ribeye.

[@nickk8416]

I really enjoyed the video and the surprise piano playing at the end! I pretty much agree with all except top round. I love the chuck, flanken short ribs and ground beef the most. Chicken of course is a no-brainer. Thin cut loin pork chops tenderized can be wonderful too, even made into a sandwich. Slow cooked beef brisket can be great too. Love your piano skills.

[@HollyFrampton-gw8sp]

Luckily, ground beef is my favorite cut of beef, but everyone once in a while, you want a good steak.
