Hi,

Just got a price list for biltong at R265 for 1kg :wtf:
This sounds a little expensive to me. What is a reasonable number?
 
Personally I think anything under R200 is still a decent price.
R200 to R250 is normal.
Over R250 - you are being ripped off.

Meat World still has biltong on special for R140 on some weekends.
 
I try not to pay more than R200/kg.

Boeremark in Pretoria on a Saturday morning is packed with stalls selling top quality for anything between R130 and R180/kg.

And it's not bad biltong.

@OP Also Beef or Game(Kudu or BWB or Impala or Gemsbok.........)
 
R200 per kg better be bloody damn good biltong...

R140 - R180 per kg is the standard range.

No ways man. To find it at those prices is becoming very rare these days.
Go look at Pick and Pay prices and the biltong shops at the mall.
Those are the prices that people pay every day.
 
Try Woolworths pricing. R33 for 50g packet. .

R200-R250 is the general range.
 
In Pta there are also two roadside trailers that sell not bad biltong for +-R140
Garsfontein Rd in-between Gen Louis Botha and Hans Strijdom
Dely Rd on Golf course side Near where Pachas was/is

The one on Garsfontein is a bit of a miss and hit. Had some nice biltong there but also some horrible biltong.

Seen the guy on Deli but haven't stopped there yet.

I always taste before I buy any biltong.
Thanks for heads up though.
 
Keerist, you guys are being ripped off for Biltong up in your neck of the woods...

R149 is Bluff Meat Supply standard price for pretty decent biltong.
Spar is R180 odd per kg...
 
Where is a good place to get biltong in Joburg, specifically Sandton?
 
For me it depends on the biltong. I like to make my own, but there is one place that makes it perfectly and they are R300/kg. I do sometimes buy from them,it really is worth it.
 
Eish. I didn't realise biltong was so expensive now! (The missus does the shopping)

DIY biltong, take the price per KG of silverside beef and x2 to get the approx cost of making it yourself.
