Grabill Canned Meats

[Kelevra TAR-21]

I just got back from their warehouse. I got a mixed case of meats. 3 Beef, Chicken, Turkey and Pork. If you buy a single can it is 6.00 ea for the 27 oz one. If you buy the case that has 12 cans in it. The price drops to 5.75 a can for a total of 69.00 a case. You have to bring cash, because it really is not a store per say. They also sell 13 oz cans a case is forty dollars. They also sell ground beef only in the 13 oz can though.

In case anyone else is interested in their site. Not a whole lot of data, but it has the basics.

I am pricing out canned meat. I think this is going to be better than Werling for a lot of folks considering gas because Grabill is about a half hour from Ft. Wayne.

 

[Kelevra TAR-21]

Yeah, I even went as far as to see how much money I will be spending on gas to get there to make sure it was worth the trip. I asked them about canned bacon and he said for them it was too expensive to do. They would have to charge around 12.00 a can.

That's sad that they can't do canned bacon. Maybe I will still hit up both (semi-)local businesses.

What is the shelf life on these?

What's the shelf life....(expiration date)?

 

[Kelevra TAR-21]

They told me five years.

 

[MinuteMan47]

...and did they tell you when it was manufactured?

...and did they tell you when it was manufactured?

I did not ask, but I will tomorrow.

 

[Kelevra TAR-21]

I just got back from buying a few cases and the gentalmen showed me how to read the Julin date. The meat was canned 10 days ago.

A follow up to this post...I was in the Huntington Walmart on Saturday night and found Grabill canned meat on the shelf. The prices were:

Chicken: $3.68 for a 13 oz. can (I ate it tonight and it was yummy)

Beef: $6.18 for a 27 oz. can

The man who owns Grabill meats goes to our church. He says the "official" shelf life is 10 years, but unofficially the meat is good as long as the cans are intact. That could be a very long time. We have a few cases and will be getting more.

Very competitive pricing. I went to the company store last week and they were $3.75/$6.00.

Simple meal: 1 can beef, drain liquid, nuke to desired temp. Pour on some ranch dressing, eat.

they are very careful with their process. (One of the salesman/family is on the FD with me) They do make a good product.

wife and I tried about six differant meats from Grabill (beef pork chicken) ground and chunks all was very good, ordered cases and will order more. Well really three meats just processed diferantly

Dang, I don't remember. I think it was with the other canned meats...towards the front in the grocery area. I'm not from Huntington, we were visiting family, so I am not familiar with the store layout. Sorry!

I tried the Noblesville Walmart and they didn't have any, fwiw.

Maybe it's just a local deal with the Huntington one, since they are close?

Good luck!

p.s. I cooked up the can of beef with some onions and a dried cayenne pepper, it was super.
