Budget carnivore: eat meat without going broke

The cheapest cuts that still hit your macros, plus a weekly shop under R1,200.

Anchoring your basket on beef mince, chicken thighs and drumsticks, plus bulk boerewors, keeps the weekly shop below R1,200 for one adult.

Add organs once a week (liver is the cheapest and most nutrient-dense) and you've covered the carnivore fundamentals for less than R1,500.

Bulk boerewors (4 kg+) from our butcher drops to R105/kg - that's R420 for a month of weekend braais.
