Default Home butchering supplies

Hello,

I was planning on visiting a wild meat processor this season but then I thought it would be handy to know how to do it myself should the need arise. Does anyone know of a good place in the Edmonton area that sells freezer/butcher paper?

If you get a food saver you will be much happier. No freezer burn and meat last longer. It's a bit more money but worth it.

Get the real good paper at CTR or Butchers and Packers. They both sell all the butchering stuff you need.
I wrap all my meat with plastic wrap then butcher paper, almost as good as vacumn sealing and way cheaper. PM me if you would like more info. I have been doing my own processing for about 10 years, I don't pay a cent to the butcher shops.

Nice thing about plastic bagging them before the butcher paper is it will not leak all over when you thaw them out .

But the food saver at Costco . When It craps out in a year or two just take it back and get another one no questions asked Costco will take anything back ...😃that's what I did . And buy your bags from halfords . You'll be good to go . I think you could buy a huge roll of brown paper at halfords also. It'll last forever .
