    Interesting prices elsewhere. When next someone gets some done,try breaking it down and see what your price per sausage or savalouy actually is. 8 per kilo gave me $1.25 each. Still cheap for good food. Just looked at countdown online too. Still beats that.

    I agree MD getting sausages made is the way to go. I use a butcher here in Wellington and it costs me $7.20 per kg, so decent price and great product. I only have one for dinner lol so nice and cheap!

    Are you using the Geraldine butcher?
    Friends of mine all their private processing done there and I reckon they do a shit hot job even on the plain old beef or lamb sausages.

    Greetings @Micky Duck and all,
    Never knew the humble banger could be so controversial. At 8 bangers to the kilo they are certainly not tiny. As far as how many bangers make a meal I am with the Micky Ducks on this one at 2 each. Cost, as long as we enjoy them and they meet our dietary requirements, who cares. They are still cheaper than any over the counter option of equivalent quality and there is the satisfaction of our role in their production, however small. Just enjoy them.
    Regards Grandpamac.

    If I buy nice ones it's $23 and basic is $16. Homekill would do great ones for $7 but that's not an option now.
    2-3 per meal would be my choice, with lots of those lovely veges

    I think I pay $5/kg for the finished product from my local guy when I take in venison for sausages. 20kg of venison becomes 25kg of sausages normally with a bit of fat added etc.


    Good value and 25kg of sausages is a good year's worth or more.... I still have 20kg of misc. meat from this year's roar frozen yet to become sausages

    Interesting subject, I did a quick look at the current DIY costs.
    Casings about $1 per Kg
    Mixes $3 to $7.50 per Kg (if you use them, and butchers probably do)
    So before you add meat or buy pork fat you're up at $4 a kilo. I realize the butchers have access to lower prices, but I think that it's a fair comparison for those doing it themselves...before you add in the costs of equipment.
