I've never been a big meat eater until I started buying from a local butcher. Grain fed porterhouse or a nice thick New York steak is what I usually stock up on. Not a fan of the cheap woollies crap, you get what you pay for.
I love fish and I'll usually order it over steak at a restaurant. It is pretty expensive but if you look around you can get cheaper fish like rockling or trevally. I buy a lot of fish in the $20-30kg range like salmon, snapper and flathead. I won't normally pay over $30kg for any meat or fish unless it's for a special occasion
Usual buy for me is a 3kg pack of basa fillets, 3kg of mince, 2.5kg lamb loin and 2.5kg rump steak. Which will usually last us about 2.5 Weeks.
On occasion well pick up the preseason end roast beef from aldi or a pork shoulder.
A good rule of thumb I've found is to try and get the thickest cut of meat you can find. It's much easier to cook a good steak at home when it's 3-4cm thick instead of the usual 1-2cm thick ones you get from Coles and wollies
I'm one of those whose go to easy meal is a big patty of topside mince and vegies. Grab any Steak on special too. Used to be a huge fish eater but not so much nowadays, probably should up my fish intake again. Supermarket for me, haven't been into a Butcher's shop in years when buying for myself.
Don't blame you man... Was surprised by the amount of butchers here who actually looked offended if you ask them to cut up some meat for you in a particular way... You're a butcher kunce...
It's like going to the barber and him getting all pissed cos you wanted a haircut. Just easier getting all your chit from the supermarket sometimes.
I've found that most butchers are happy to cut the meat how you like, especially if you're buying a lot, and most of us are. If you get a butcher with sand in his vagina, just find another.
The butcher I go to when I am just after plain meats has stuff like tenderloins for $8 bucks a kilo. Go to coles or anything similar and they are hitting 18 bucks. Load of shit. I normally just load up each time I go and freeze a bunch
chicken breast (buy from butchers when on special and stock up)
roo burgers (coles normally)
bacon (I'm weird and I like the lower fat bacon, "normal" stuff doesn't sit well in my stomach for some reason)
occasionally steak or lamb
I seem to prefer leaner cuts of meat majority of the time.

I can't get enough of steak t-bone,eye fillet,rib eye,scotch but it must be grass fed not that bland grain fed shit. A real steak doesn't need sauces
I also love chicken breast in a Cajun spice yum
i eat chicken for lunch cooked on a George forman
and steak for tea cooked on a BBQ or grill on the stove

Local butcher here is good. I wanted beef for jerky and he took me out the back to show me what he had and to see how I wanted it cut etc. I guess its like any trade, not everyone is good at it.
