You don't have to go to those bulk food chains to buy in bulk. Many small mom and pop operations will cut you deals if you buy a large amount and will come down more as the order increases! Yup.....the old fashioned way still works 
My one friend used to go to the Mar-Lin meat market and ask about prices on for example chicken legs. He'd start at 10 pounds then ask well what about for 20? 30? 50? until he hit a plateau or what he could store. At the time legs were going for .99/lb average and he sometimes could get a deal for .49/lb!
I can't imagine $10/lb for anything under a prime rib or fillet mignon cut. You're really getting whacked hard there Twitch!
