Jasper Meats

What a great little place!
I got about $ 18 worth of meats and fish today including boneless, skinless chicken breast, 6 veal sausages, 5 smoked sausage, cod filets and smoked bacon! If you like cured meats and fresh meats, this is a pretty good place to find good deals. I appreciated their little tasting station where they had cheese, sausage and ham. It does get a little crowd-​y since it’s open only on Saturdays. Check their website for deals before you stop by :)
I will be back when I crave sausage once again!

For the life of me I can’t understand these other reviews. I went there for.the.first time to see what it’s all about. I knew that they were a wholesaler. I expected a lower. then normal price for «choice» or «prime» beef. When I picked a NY strip I noticed thatST it was a touch more then COSTCO down the street.
I checked to see if it was marked «prime“beef but nary
A hint of the grade. Nothing! Not good. If it was choice
or prime they would be proud of it and make sure that anyone who picked it up would see the grade. I asked one of the help, replete with butchers apron and hat, what the grade was and he immediately barked «ITS all angus beef». I replied angus is a type of cow not a grade. Heming and hawing he would not give me an answer of either «choice“or «prime» beef just «all angus». Which means it’s neither one. Hence it is «select» a grade just above «utility «which is not fit for human consumption.
End of story. Still buying great CHOICE or PRIME at Costco.

Store review:
Whole sale meat etc. I am so there. This place loses a store of course because it is only opened for limited hours on Saturday which drives up the demand. Also a lot of items are first come first serve once they are out that is it… The selection of meat are top notch. Prices on some items are amazing others are okay as the price of meat has gone up. You can get salmon belly and cod loins for low prices. Get there early to get the best selections and deals!
Pros: bulk purchase of produce at good prices
Cons: limited inventory, once sold out they are out. Only open on saturday. Prices have climbed up and no longer as cheap as 3 – 4 dollars for ribeye and strip steak fyi

Jasper Meats is a wholesale meat market that, happily for avid carnivores, decides to go retail once a week on Saturdays.
In practice, this means you get some absurd deals on bulk meat. $ 1.69 /​pound for boneless skinless chicken breasts, for example. The last time I saw chicken going for that low, it was the 1990s.
Today was cod day, for something like $ 2.59 /​pound. There is something of a minimum (~5 pounds) which is what explains the prices, but I’d be paying a whole lot more elsewhere.
Post-​cooking, the meat seems to be of pretty high quality. They also sell stuff to cook with your meat at less-​insane prices.
It’s tucked away in an industrial park just north of Carol Stream, but Jasper is worth checking out if you want to stock up.

Wholesale meats open to the public on Saturdays from 8am. If there isn’t something you’re looking for then just ask & they’ll go get it for you such as boneless pork shoulder.

I found this place by accident last year and am glad I did. My only regret is I live in the coty and they seem to put their ads in suburban papers, so when I go it is always a surprise what is on sale! I wish it was on theor website.
This weekend I went just to get polish sausage. I prefer a different brand but this is less expensive and my 2^nd choice. I was pleasantly surprised to find they had ribeye and strip steaks for $ 3.00 and $ 4.00 lb! They looked great so I got 2 ribeyes. They were almost 3 lbs total and cost me $ 8.90!!! They were very good when I cooked them. I am looking forward to catching a special like that again.
A month or so ago I caught a great deal on salmon for just over $ 3 for a 1 lb filet. I stocked up on them for my roommie who eats salmon for lunch almost every day at work. I was paying $ 4.99 at the grocery store for a 4 oz portion before that! He is ona pork strike, so I have ot been able to take advantage of their pork specials.
If you are in the area you should give them a try. They are very friendly and helpful.

Impressed by the quality and price of products available. Was able to get ribs at 2.39 a lb, prok tenderloin at 1.50/lb this weekend and the meat was high quality. Hours are quirky but definitely worth the trip.
