Greetings from Jimmy @ My Jerky Shop!

I love this time of year. The houses are decorated with beautiful lights and joyful festivities happening everywhere. But before I go on about that, I would like to share something dear to my heart that I wanted to share last month, my “November Leftovers”…

November was National Adoption Month. Not every family is able to adopt a child into their home, yet most everyone has room to “adopt a needy child” into your family’s heart by sponsoring an orphaned child in another country or right here in the States. I am a volunteer translator for Vision Trust International (VTI). They have an awesome sponsorship program with high integrity helping orphaned children since 1997.

You can choose a child from any one of 12 countries (and growing). I sponsor a child, Charley, in Brazil where I lived 10 years, working with very poor families and street children. Brazil needs more sponsors and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about VTI. You can sponsor a precious child at VisionTrust.org Sponsor a child with VTI before Christmas, send me your name and the child’s name & country that you sponsored and I will send you a FREE BAG OF JERKY as a Thank You!

Recipe of the month
  As you are planning for your holiday parties, there are many hor deurves and dishes you can make with jerky. Our Shredded beef or buffalo jerky can be used on salads (healthier than bacon bits and just as delicious), added to a sauce or mixed into cheese like this recipe below. If you stopped by My Jerky Shop Thanksgiving weekend, this is what we served on Ritz crackers. It’s delicious!!

Greetings from Jimmy @ My Jerky Shop!

Yet another month is past the halfway point and soon we’ll be saying goodbye to 2011. Can you believe it? I’ve been challenged and am already looking back over the year and forward to 2012. This has been a good year as far as meeting new friends and seeing My Jerky Shop grow as we have added many new flavors and types of meat.

Thank you for being a part of this year at My Jerky Shop!!!

I have produced my first video for My Jerky Shop. Scroll down to watch it now.
I already recorded my second video with a group of singers – you just got to see it… It’s funny, fun and the ‘kids’ did a fantastic job. I will send that out before Thanksgiving.

Greetings from Jimmy @ My Jerky Shop!

              Do you know the song, The 12 Days of Christmas? Would you come help us sing? We are looking for children, teens and adults of all ages who are willing to sing The 12 Days of Christmas with a twist – a jerky twist. We have changed the day from Sat to one day next week. If you would do us the honor of singing with our group, you will receive some FREE JERKY and we will be serving refreshments too. RSVP ASAP and we will send the specifics to you. Bring the whole family!

 Jumpin’ Jerky – look what’s happenin’!
             You may already know that buffalo meat prices have soared the past six to eight months. There have been many adjustments across the board in prices and package sizes. We have been able to maintain our prices (we even lowered some) but our manufacturers (all of them) have adjusted the quantity. We have some stock with the larger quantity which means you’ll get more for your money by ordering now. Quantities are limited, so order now to take advantage. In some cases the adjustment was so slight, you may not even notice.

           Some of our packaging, for example our Jerky Direct brand has gotten smaller to be more “green” yet the quantities are the same on some of the meats. The whole meat snack industry has been doing the same thing for months now. Most companies do not even tell you about the changes, as this happens so gradually, most people don’t even realize when it happens. I wanted to let you know ahead of time.

  • Jerky makes a fantastic Stocking Stuffer You can shop now as all our jerky is good through late in 2012!
  • You can now see the Jerky Journal on our web site under the Jerky Journal tab! You can even leave your comments on-line if you like – it’s a Blog.
That’s all for this week. Enjoy your weekend and I hope to see you soon.

Greetings from Jimmy @ My Jerky Shop!

We have a winner in the BLOG NAME CONTEST. Jerky Journal is the final name BUT I will also use some of the other popular choices for columns or sections of the Jerky Journal. So even though the name is not changing, what I have  called "News Briefs" will now be called "Jerky Jabber". I am also going to use The World of Jerky & Jerky Jive - stay tuned to see how.

The WINNER of the drawing for voting on our blog name is Dawn from Calhan, CO.

BE A CELEBRITY FOR A DAY! We are forming a one-day Christmas Carol Group. WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE! On Saturday, November 5th we are going to record the "12 Jerky Days of Christmas". Children who can read and adults are all welcome. Each one who participates will receive FREE JERKY along with some other cool items. Refreshments will be served. You must RSVP so we know how many to expect. Please send an e-mail to jimmy@myjerkyshop.com or call (719) 482 8302 today. Once you RSVP, we will send the specifics via e-mail.

Ms Carol, from Ms Carol's Studio (instrumental & voice lessons), will be coordinating the music and voice. If you play an instrument and would like to play on that day, let me know. We'll be recording right here at My Jerky Shop (well actually a room just down the hall). Come join the fun. We appreciate your participation.

Have you visited our UPDATED WEBSITE yet? Did you know you can order right from the site? I have been hard at work, yet there is still more to go. New LOWER Prices too. Yes you read that correctly, I have lowered many of the prices. And that's not all...

FREE SHIPPING on orders over $25.00 now until November 4th. And new lower shipping charges for smaller orders. 


Jerky Jabber
  • New lower prices - on-line & in store
  • Free samples always available at My Jerky Shop
  • Extended hours from now until the end of the year -
     more convenient for holiday shopping.
  • Christmas Shoppers - Extended Hours on Black Friday - tba soon
  • Free Shipping on all orders over $25 placed on line.
  • Gift Baskets - Gift Boxes - Gift Bags  & Buckets too
    We will have some pictures and combo gift packs very soon on the site.
  • Jerky makes a great Stocking Stuffer! You can buy now as all our jerky is good well into 2012.
  • Give a healthy gift to your children instead of all the sugar filled candy at Halloween or Harvest Festivals. Jerky is the healthy alternative snack!
That’s all for this week. If you were wondering if you missed a copy of the Jerky Journal, you didn’t. I have been sick for the past two weeks and in a conference all week, three weeks ago. That all set me behind a little bit, but things are getting back on track. Thanks for your time!

Have a fantastic week!
Jerky never tasted this good,

Jimmy
