looking for...

[pbg40g]

a good inexpensive (translated CHEAP) meat grinder that includes the sausage stuffing tubes. I want to be able to make my own deer bratwurst and other sausages.

I almost hate to say it, but look on ebay. We got ours a few years ago off ebay (and it is a work horse) for about 1/2 price.

Don't go with a hand cranked grinder! You'll just wind up getting ticked off!

Ebay is a good bet. Also, check out yard sales when the season hits. You could also save up the cash and get a Kitchenaid mixer. A multitasker in the kitchen is great! I use mine to grind the meat, mix the meat with the seasonings, then stuff the sausages! You can also use it for cakes and doughs and things like that...if you want. lol

I've always wanted a KitchenAid. We have a stand mixer that someone gave us as a wedding present, and it's OK, but it doesn't have the power and versatility that KitchenAid has.

I've been looking on eBay, too, but I keep getting outbid on the ones I've tried for.

Don't you just hate that?? Ugh! I hate being outbid when I want something really really bad!! (*~*)

If you do go with just a meat grinder/sausage stuffer, don't get the cheap stuff. Most of the inner parts/gears are plastic. That's why they're cheap! You'd do well to save while you look and maybe get a new Kitchenaid if you can't win one on Ebay.
