Buying Tips for meat in Pakistan

  • Shop around: Prices can vary significantly between butchers and markets. Compare prices before you buy.
  • Look for seasonal sales: Some butchers offer discounts on specific cuts of meat throughout the week.
  • Buy in bulk (if possible): If you have the storage space, buying in bulk can sometimes be cheaper per kilogram.
  • Ask about the cut: Different cuts of meat have different prices. Choose the cut that best suits your recipe and budget.
  • Inspect the meat carefully: The meat should be firm to the touch and have a bright red color (for beef and mutton). Avoid meat that is discolored or has an off odor.
  • Don’t be afraid to bargain: In some markets, it’s acceptable to negotiate the price of meat.
