        to answer your question, the company is located in Casino, they export their products to Japan US and many other countries(Costco). they use export quality beef
        they meet the following international stnadard:
        Aus-Meat License to export
        Meat Safety Quality Assurance Program (HACCP based)
        USDA & EU approval
        Halal certification
        and they dont use MSG, artifical ingredient and preservatives
        BTW do you meet HACCP based standards?

      sorry guys its a 250g pack for $6.99. Its called Mariani beef jerky.You can google it for more details.
      They mainly export theri products to Japan. They use export quality beef as well( if you know much about our meat industry you would know that most of our good beef goes to overseas(sadly).

      "One of our largest export markets is Japan, supplying Costco and hundreds of other outlets. We are also
      proud to be the only beef jerky sold on the Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train) for the Central Japan Railway Company.

          I suppose if you are still having profit margin problems with $100ish per kilo jerky you should not be in the jerky making business in the first place!!!

          Also, if Jim Jerky can survive with $70 a kilo, why cant your?

          Also as per the HACCP certificate, can you Pls show us? i have friends working in food safety QLD so shoud be easy to verify!!!!

    Meh not really a deal. $109.375 for 1 KG beef jerky (ignoring shipping costs of coure). Not really a special deal. Sorry but a neg from me. You can get good quality meat to make beef jerky for about 10-15$ KG (on special etc).. so massive markup here. Dont think it costs 60$ /KG in overheads etc :D

        I was just getting at they are charging 60$/KG for their services. Also note that there are competitors who are selling beef jerky for cheaper and just as good.. (65$ deal i think it was with jims jerky).

        The aim of ozbargain is good deals I believe…

        Following your notation instead of going to restaurants that have good food for good prices may as well go to overpriced places with sub-par food.

          Depends if you consider all beef jerky to be the exact same product…. which it clearly isn't.

          Negging something based on the cost of a different product from a different retailer is not really useful….. There may be some who like this brand's particular recipe/consistency, and are willing to pay more.

          Voting on a 'stand alone' product (ie specific product sold by one retailer), should really be based on the current 'bargain' price, compared to their 'normal' price…. or based on people's experiences with the product or retailer.

          'I vote neg because I prefer another brand/flavour', etc is not really appropriate. Useful to inform the community ….. but not to potentially remove a post from view…. (as the community wouldn't be informed in that circumstance anyway)

          Agree, this ain't a bargain at all, bargain is when it's around $60/kg

          The 8*40gm is just about the same price as buying 500gm of a product from the website.

          Andy, at the end of the day Jerky is just plain Jerky, it ain't some flash french cuisine where you need a flash chef to prepare it. Jerky is just beef dried in marinade, cut beef, mix and soak in marinade, dry for x hr…

        • andy19363 on 02/02/2012 - 15:44

          ahh…. I see…. just beef…. I'll ask for 'just beef' next time I'm at the butchers… they seem to have all manner of different 'beefs'…. all at different prices…. Even 'just beef' from different cows is at different prices….. I never realised it was all the same.

          And the marinade is also exactly same no matter where you get it from…. woahh…. never knew that either.

      Not to justify the high cost of jerky beef in the market but from my own experience with homemade jerky beef, it will take around 2kg of raw meat in order to make 1kg of jerky beef. That is why the Costco current deal (~$27.50 per kg until 5/2/2012) is just amazing.

      I think I have made up the Costco membership fee with my 2.5kg jerky beef purchase :-)

    I am currently getting through some costco beef jerky and while it is definitely cheap, it tastes cheap too!
    The flavours are sweet and tacky, and to be honest it tastes a bit like bad chinese food court food.
    you can hardly tell there is real meat in it, it feels a bit more like what i would imagine vegan beef jery to taste like haha!

    Having ordered a couple of kilos worth of orders from jerronimo i can definitely say that if you like you good meat this is significantly better product. it just comes down to whether you can afford it or not.

      they have a soft version jerky which is definitely a bit softer than the normal jerky we eat:) you might have purchased this one:) try the other ones and they are all meaty and nice:) . btw its not a matter of affordability, its a matter of value for money. Most of the people on ozbargain are looking for the most bang for their bucks!!! BTW if you can afford 100+ a kilo of Jerky+ delivery. what the hell are you doing on ozbargain? LOL

      • Ambiguous on 02/02/2012 - 13:51

        There is a difference between cheap and a bargain mate. I dont know the quality of this jerky (never been a jerky man myself) but just because an item is cheap doesnt make it a bargain, alot of people want good deals on higher end products.

        The best example is a suit. You can get suits for $100 inc. 2 pairs of trousers, and similarly suits for $1000 and YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL the difference. Walk around the CBD for 5mins and you can see who cheaped out and who bought quality. Now if you get a $1000 suit on sale for $600 that certainly is a bargain.

        • qq830821 on 02/02/2012 - 15:22

          if i mark up the jerky price to $300 a kilo then offer you a discount for $150 a kilo, using your logic, do you think its a bargain? i never say Costco's jerky is cheap. its just Costco;s jerky is more bang for your bucks. and also how do you justify GeronimoJerky's price tag if you havnt had that?
          With Costco, i know at least taht if i dont like it i can always return it for a full refund no questions asked.
          offer me these kind of services for a $100ish per kilo jerky, i will vote a big positive!!!

          Of course it is….. If $300 is the normal selling price, then it's 50% off. There may be many reasons why someone wishes to buy a particular brand of product. Why should you deny them that wish?
          You personally believe costco is a better deal….. fine…. it's a different product, not widely available….
          Don't neg, and remove the deal from view of those who
          a) might prefer another brand
          or
          b) are not able to access costco

    I just got 1.5kg of beef jerky for $70 with free postage from the jims jerky deal. To buy the same amount with this deal from Geronimo it would cost me $164 plus postage… It's a shame it's so expensive because I like Geronimo's jerky more.

    • xlimit on 02/02/2012 - 15:44

      Yeah, Geronimo's isn't cheap at all.

      Looking around: costco, local city convenience store, Jim's jerky and anywhere else where jerky is good. Its like saying, can I really justify going to the local burger shop to get one great $7 burger, which definitely tastes great or going to Maccers and getting a big mac, fries and drink for the same price.

      It might taste better but where's the bargain?

  • Natt on 02/02/2012 - 15:46

    I think the votes on the deal are getting a bit sidetracked

    If a product of comparable quality is cheaper - then its a neg

    If a product of lesser quality is cheaper, or even significantly cheaper its not negworthy.

    It just means that you may be willing to put up with a not-so-tasty product because its cheaper.

    Lets take jam for example.

    It might be $3 a jar for mass produced apricot jam using poor quality fruit from China.

    But it might be $8 a jar for handmade jam using freshly harvested greengage plums from heirloom trees carefully tended all year.

    Up to you what you want to slap on your toast.

    But don't hate the jam.

    Or the jerky mind you

    having said all of that the regular jerky posts are too regular and are getting tiresome.

    continual "sales" or "discounts" do not = a bargain. It just means you should lower your price all the time.

      continual "sales" or "discounts" do not = a bargain. It just means you should lower your price all the time.

      Plenty of businesses do monthly special buys for particular products. It means the profit margin on that product is lower or zero. It's done to raise awareness of a brand/product, and hopefully get some new customers in the hope that they become repeat customers. If it's an especially good price, then repeat customers can pick up a good deal for a product they like. To always sell at the reduced price is unsustainable - especially for small businesses.

          Weird.. didnt realise the special was buying 1KG of jerky? Thought it was for the sample packs. Maybe I should re-read the title… >.< As before, factor in shipping costs :)

          The special is for 8 bags of 40g.

          the $90 a kilo is normal price I think

          I would assume buying in larger quantities will be cheaper as it cuts out costs associated with weighing and packaging.
