We’ve done the math: those quick trips to the grocery store cost more than you think. Between gas, vehicle wear, and the time spent navigating traffic and aisles, the expenses add up fast. For Tulsa residents, a simple grocery run can easily cost $27 or more when factoring in the true costs. That’s why we believe our $5 delivery fee for custom meat bundles is a smarter, simpler choice.
Our service delivers USDA-inspected, custom-cut meats straight to your door, covering a 50-mile radius from Cleveland, Oklahoma. No traffic, no impulse buys, and no hidden fees. Just high-quality meats with convenience built in. Let’s break down why this $5 fee makes sense – and how it saves you time, money, and hassle.

Why Choose Delivery Over Grocery Trips?
Let’s break it down: a 10-mile round trip for groceries costs about $7 in vehicle expenses and eats up 50 minutes of your time. Using the 2025 IRS business mileage rate of $0.70 per mile, that drive adds up to $7 just for wear and tear on your car. Add the value of your time, calculated at the U.S. median hourly wage of $23.80, and those 50 minutes are worth nearly $20. Altogether, you’re looking at $27 – before factoring in parking headaches or those tempting impulse buys.
Real-life examples make these numbers even more striking. Take Ethan Thompson, a Tulsa resident. By skipping his 5-mile round trips to the store, which cost $3.60 in vehicle expenses and around $31.45 in time per trip, Ethan saved $378.24 annually and reclaimed 20 hours of his life. That’s a lot of time and money to put toward things that matter more.
Here’s the kicker: when you drive yourself, you’re already paying for delivery in hidden costs. Marc Wulfraat sums it up perfectly:
"The incremental time and money required for grocery companies to fulfill online orders is significant. Shoppers should expect to pay more for their grocery basket as a result because the convenience of online shopping has a steep price tag."
With a flat $5 fee for bulk meat delivery in Tulsa, you’re not just saving money – you’re outsourcing the hassle. The costs are clear, and the convenience is unmatched.
This is especially true for specialty items like custom-cut, USDA-inspected meats. Delivery eliminates long, expensive trips and brings high-quality products straight to your door. For us, the flat $5 delivery fee is a no-brainer: it’s simple, transparent, and lets you focus on what matters most.
1. Saves Time and Avoids Traffic
Our shop is based in Cleveland, Oklahoma, about 40 miles from Tulsa. That means a round trip can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on where you’re coming from and how bad traffic is. Add another 30–60 minutes for walking the aisles, waiting in checkout lines, and loading up groceries. And let’s not forget Tulsa’s traffic, which only makes things worse.
A 2025 TRIP report paints a clear picture of these hidden costs: drivers in Tulsa lose an average of 42 hours each year sitting in congestion, waste 15 gallons of fuel annually, and rack up around $829 in extra costs from lost time and gas. With nearly half of Oklahoma’s major roads in poor shape and 12% of Tulsa’s bridges considered structurally deficient, even a quick grocery run can turn into a frustrating time sink.
That’s where we come in. Our bulk meat delivery service in Tulsa eliminates all that hassle. For just $5 on qualifying orders, we’ll deliver USDA-inspected, custom-cut meats straight to your doorstep within our 50-mile radius (including meat delivery to Owasso). No traffic, no crowded aisles, and no wasted time sifting through endless products.
"I’d make that hour-long drive for more."
That’s how one of our happy customers, Tracy Reich, put it, but with our service, she doesn’t have to. Just place your order a week in advance (delivery takes 5–7 days), and we’ll take care of the driving, selecting, and transporting. All you have to do is enjoy the convenience.
Skip the traffic and save time with home delivery for just $5.
2. Reduces Fuel and Vehicle Maintenance Costs
Every drive to the grocery store adds up in ways we might not immediately realize. In the U.S., the average cost to operate a personal vehicle is $0.72 per mile. For those traveling longer distances, like a trip to our meat market near Tulsa, these costs become even more noticeable.
Since we’re located in Cleveland, Oklahoma – about 40 miles from Tulsa – an 80-mile round trip to visit us could cost up to $57.60 in vehicle expenses. Compare that with our $5 delivery fee, and the savings are clear.
But it’s not just about fuel. Every mile driven means more wear on your tires, more frequent oil changes, and a drop in your vehicle’s resale value. By cutting down on unnecessary trips, you save on maintenance costs and extend the life of your car.
As Chelsee Lowe from Business Insider pointed out:
"We save on gas as well… If, like the average family, we went to the market twice per week, we’d use about $11.75 per month on grocery store gas alone".
By skipping those biweekly trips, you could save around $141 annually on fuel alone, not to mention the added savings from reduced maintenance.
Our $5 delivery fee doesn’t just offer convenience – it’s a way to protect your car, save money, and simplify your life. Why spend more when you can save both time and wear on your vehicle?
3. Provides Fresh, Custom-Cut Bulk Meats
Our service isn’t just about saving time and money; it’s about delivering top-notch quality. Choosing bulk meat delivery in Tulsa means you’re getting premium, custom-cut meats prepared by skilled butchers. Our beef is aged for at least 21 days to enhance tenderness and flavor. It’s USDA-inspected, graded Choice or higher, and vacuum-sealed immediately to lock in freshness.
Every cut is prepared in-house in Cleveland, Oklahoma. Whether you’re ordering a half cow, half hog, or chicken packs, our butchers tailor each cut to your preferences. Want thicker steaks or specific roast sizes? Just give us a call at (918) 885-6758.

For just $5, we’ll deliver premium, custom-cut bulk meats straight to your door. These aren’t mass-produced packages – they’re fresh, handcrafted cuts made just for you.
4. Prevents Impulse Purchases
Delivery services do more than save time and cut down on vehicle costs – they also help curb those unplanned shopping splurges. We’ve all been there: you head to the store for milk and eggs but leave with a cart full of snacks, frozen meals, and items you didn’t even know you wanted. On average, U.S. consumers spend $5,400 annually (or about $450 each month) on impulse purchases. Imagine redirecting that money toward quality essentials, like bulk meat or other staples.
These unplanned expenses quickly add up. By ordering meat delivery online, you can sidestep these temptations entirely. With a clear list and a running total in front of you, it’s easier to stay focused. No colorful end-of-aisle displays or checkout lane temptations to throw you off track. Research from 84.51°, Kroger‘s data division, reveals that 36% of delivery app users feel the service helps them avoid unnecessary purchases they might have made in-store.
"Online shopping allows shoppers to avoid in-store marketing tactics, which encourages us to add items to our basket that we didn’t plan to purchase." – Laura Zatz, Senior Adviser, The Behavioural Insights Team
One family shared that they save at least $104 each month by cutting out impulse buys through online grocery shopping. For just $5, you can stick to your essentials, like premium, custom-cut meats, and keep your budget in check.
