Meat Prices?

I am almost out of my last order of ground beef from Zaycon and I will not be ordering from them again.  I am still going to try to connect with Andi's friend Teena for meat from her cows this year, but from what I understand, they butcher in the fall.  SO, what is the update on where to get good ground beef and other cow meats around here?  Can you let me know prices and how you have liked what you have gotten from various places?

Thanks ladies!!

Costco

I was at Costco today & it wins lowest price for all the products below compared to the other price reviews posted so far...

Almond Flour - $5.99/lb, 3 lb bag for $17.99
Almond Butter - $6.08/lb, big jar for $9.89
Coconut Oil - $0.30/oz, 78 oz jug for $22.99

April 19 - Costco now has Coconut Flour! $6.99 for 4 pounds. Much better than the $7 for 1 pound I paid at Tacoma Boys before going to Costco...

Amazon

I did some pantry shopping on Amazon today, these are only Prime-Eligible products...

Almond Flour
* $7/lb for a 5lb bag of Anthony's Almonds Natural Almond Meal/Flour:
* There was also a "blanched" variety of this, but I don't know what that means & it was a little more expensive.
...well a few minutes later I got notice that this product was no longer available but the blanched was. So I learned that blanched means the almonds are soaked in water & skins removed.  Almond flour is finer while almond meal is coarser & usually has skin.
 *I'm changing my recommendation to the Anthony's Almonds Blanched Almond Flour 5lbs at $7.60/lb (Winco is cheaper and nuts.com is more for the same size.)
----
Ghee
* There is a 56oz jar (3.5lbs!) at $0.64/oz ($35.85), Nanak Pure Desi Ghee.  But that seems like a lot.
* Whole30 recommends the Pure Indian Foods brand & that's available as both cultured ($1.64/oz) or not ($1.60/oz).  Don't know what cultured means or what the difference is.
----
Canned Salmon
* Wild Planet Sustainably Caught Pink Salmon $0.92/oz (6 cans for $33.19) - the Sockeye is more expensive.
* The Kirkland Signature brand of Sockeye won't show the label so I can't confirm added ingredients, but it's $2.21/oz!
* The winner is Crown Prince Natural Pink Salmon Wild Caught - I can't see the ingredients list either, but it's a 12-pack at $0.46/oz. for $41.34. Here's the description:

• Case of twelve, 7.5-ounce cans with pull-top lids (total of 90 ounces)
• MSC Certified sustainable seafood; gluten free; kosher
• Contains 1.5 grams of omega-3; excellent source of protein; low sodium
• Traditionally packed to include the bones and skin for added calcium
• Sustainably wild caught; product of Canada

 ----
Coconut Butter
* Artisana seems to be the leading brand (and recommended by Whole30.)  The large container is 16 oz at $0.83/oz, the smaller one at 8oz is twice as much at $1.87/oz. They also sell it in 10-packs (small pouches) at $1.33/oz.
----
Coconut Milk - Randi already commented in her post & I got the same thing.
----
Tahini - $0.72/oz, only one choice
----
Sesame Oil - best deal is Kevala 8oz at $1.32/oz, assuming you don't want to buy gallons.
----
Cashews - 5lbs raw for $29.45 ($5.89/lb)

WinCo Prices

WinCo has Organic Coconut Flour for $3.24/lb, and Almond Flour for $6.55/lb in the bulk section. The almond flour doesn't say organic specifically...

I would be willing to pick these up for anyone if you are not at WinCo regularly, and/or don't want to go there :)

Prices

Coconut oil:

It's $20-something at Costco for 78 ounces.  Nutiva organic is the brand.  Maybe $28, which works out to about $0.35/oz. I'll confirm the exact price next time I'm there.

Coconut flour:

I have purchased Let's Do Organic 6 pack (6, 1-lb bags) on Amazon (prime) for $31.02, which works out to $5.17/lb.

HOWEVER, I'm seeing that Nutiva (same brand as the Costco coconut oil) has a 3-lb bag for $11.54 (also Amazon prime) that is just $3.86/lb.

Coconut aminos:

Coconut Secret 100% Organic Raw is $7.99/8 oz bottle at Tacoma Boys (the only store I've seen it in).  Amazon (not prime, but still free shipping), case of 12 for $72.54 ($6.05/bottle).

Coconut milk:

GAPS has me make my own with shredded coconut (which I buy from Nuts.com). Paleo doesn't care, so...

Organic Native Forest is $3.59/can at Fred Meyer.  I found it on Amazon (prime), case of 12 for $29.88 ($2.49/can).

Almond flour:

It's close to $10 per pound at Fred Meyer.  Nuts.com sells in 1 ($8.99/lb), 5 ($8.72/lb), and 25 ($5.99/lb) pound increments. It's painful to pay $150 for almond flour, but I have only ordered twice in about a year and a half...

Cacao Powder:

Raw organic... Navitas Naturals is what I'm currently using at $14.54/lb.  I'm seeing Healthworks at $12.99/lb (both Amazon prime).

Almond butter:

We use the make-your-own machine at Fred Meyer for $6.99/lb.  Costco carries a creamy version, but we don't like having to stir the oil back into it.
