I went into a local butcher today, bought some beef cheeks and beef ribs along with some other cuts.

https://www.9news.com.au/national/farmer-finds-australian-beef-cheaper-on-japane... beef cubes retail for,$20 per kilogram at home.&text=Thinly sliced beef stir,Japan and $29.80 in Australia.

I read that the other day and not sure it is entirely correct as there was one line in that article that really stood out:

Andrew Dunlop took time off from working at his farm in New South Wales to visit Japan, where he made the discovery at a discount retailer.

The “discount retailer” is what stood out.

They use the comparison for beef cubes saying $18.35 in Tokyo as opposed to $20.00 here. The other one is rump steak - $28 over there as opposed to $29.80 here.

Had a look in my local Woolies and I suppose you could say they are our “discount retailer” and at present the heart smart diced beef is only $18.00 so actually cheaper than Tokyo and rump steak the same price at $28.00.

Journalists amaze me at times as to where they get their facts from.

We just purchased a side of beef for $12/kg. Local farmer run out of feed & was killed & broken down at Bunbury. All bagged up in different cuts. It is very tender, so we’ve put our name down if they do it next year. No middle man.
