Here in the US jerky has centuries of history, the cheap supply of beef helps keep prices down too. The modern product is obviously far removed from the traditional preparation methods of Native Americans.

This is why you make it yourself. Also the best method to make it IMO is using paper air conditioner filters and a box fan. God bless Alton Brown.

Commercial beef jerky isn't cheap here, either, although cheaper than in Germany, it seems.
About $5-6 for 4 ounces or so.

Momo finds Dale's and Marigold's bad diet utterly shocking. She must have a dietician app, as well as a social protocol database.

You can certainly buy beef jerky in Australia, and South African style biltong too. Obviously I never buy it, but online it seems to cost about A$10 for 100g.
Emoroffle:
Back in my grandmother's village we used to make our own jerky. After a cow was slaughtered, which was rare, we'd take the really tough cuts as well as the smaller bits and pieces of meat out to dry. This simply involved salting them then hanging them out to dry in the sun. Once they were dry we'd hammer it until it was easy to chew and pack it up to use in various recipes or eat it on it's own.
