Alligator jerky

Question

Where is the best and cheapest place to buy alligator jerky?

Answer

Good question. There’s no single “alligator jerky store” that’s universally cheapest, but there are several solid places in Florida (and online) where you can get reasonably priced, real alligator jerky. Here’s a breakdown + where to look, plus some budget-friendly options + tips.

Where to Buy Alligator Jerky in Florida or Online

St. Augustine Alligator Farm Gift Shop — Their gift shop sells Cajun alligator jerky for about $4.99 per stick or flat.
Florida Cracker Candy Jerky — Their 100% gator jerky (no filler) runs about $15 for a Cajun flavor.
Buffalo Bob’s / JerkyNSpice: They have “Alligator Cajun Chopped Jerky” for as low as $2.84 for a small amount. They also offer a variety pack that brings the per-stick/portion cost down.
Gulf Coast House of Jerky: Their exotic section has alligator jerky (Teriyaki + Cajun-style) — around $26.99 for 3 oz.
Lees Market Jerky: Their Cajun-style alligator jerky is around $23.49 per package.
Florida Cracker Candy (Teriyaki): They also offer a teriyaki-flavored alligator jerky for $15.

Best / Cheapest Option (Based on What’s Available):

- For the absolute lowest price, the chopped Cajun jerky from Buffalo Bob’s / JerkyNSpice is the winner. - For a more “pure” gator jerky (no mixing with beef or other meats), Florida Cracker Candy’s alligator jerky is a very good value. - For a larger “traditional” jerky pack, Lees Market’s Cajun alligator jerky is solid for the price.

Tips for Buying:

If you're in Florida, check local gift shops, animal-themed parks (like alligator farms), or souvenir outlets — these sometimes have cheaper jerky than online.
Order online if you want more variety or better pricing — many retailers ship from their Florida or southern distribution centers.
Check for deals or “variety packs” — you can often lower the per-stick cost by bundling.
Pay attention to shipping costs: lighter jerky packages may be cheap, but shipping can eat into the savings unless you order more.

In summary: The cheapest real alligator jerky tends to be the chopped Cajun jerky from Buffalo Bob’s. For a better-quality “pure gator” product, Florida Cracker Candy offers very good value. If you're in Florida, hit up local gift shops or alligator-themed attractions for even better pricing or unique flavors.
