Family butchers and deli counter. Know your farms, and use the whole animal.
A butcher's margin comes from skill: buying carcasses well and using every part of them, because the difference between a good bone-out and a careless one is the profit. Everything in the window has days, not weeks, so what does not sell fresh has to become sausage, burgers or pies. Trade accounts with local pubs and restaurants steady the week, and Christmas week can be worth a month.
