Only problem is you can never really stock up on meat, unless you freeze it, but even then it rarely turns out good. You usually have to eat it the same day you buy it. You can sometimes let it sit in the fridge for one day, but usually that's it. After that it's rancid, and you have to put it in the garbage.
I guess that's probably a good thing though. Raw meat isn't supposed to last 5 days.
Smoked meat or dried meat has been the way the preserve meat for ages. Get some dried or smoked lamb for example, very tasty.
