We tend to add a leafy green in there to mimic the fibrous veggies/grass that a wild dog would get from the bellies of prey. As for cheap meat, I'm not sure what's in your area, but we have two favorite options. There's a "Rural Pet Meats" store nearby that sells minced beef, turkey, chicken, lamb, and roo, including ground bone, and the prices range $3-5/kg. They also sell organ meat. Elsewise, we head to our nearby butcher, one of whom sells ground chicken carcass, so it's all the bone/meat/organs left over from butchering the prime cuts. It works really well for dogfood stews and mealoafs. He sells us 5kg for $5! Good recipe!

The next week talking to my local butcher about it - he actually makes a pet mince which is left over meats and liver minced up and frozen. At $3.50 per kilo a bargain. From that 1 kilo I get two kilos once I add the vege. Broken down into 200gram lots we get 10 servings The verdict from the dog is yum yum yum.
