How a Butcher Shop
Owner In Scotland
Uses Barter

Krista Interviewed her friend who owns the local
Butcher Shop.

OK, they Barter Meat, Meat pies, meaty stuff for:

- fridge/freezer, hot cabinet repairs
- buying stock reduced from the delivery drivers (eggs, pie shells, pastries, sausage rolls, bridies) - gets sold for 3 times what they paid for it
- an arrangement with the cash and carry man who lends them the keys to the warehouse.
- getting the cars and vans repaired
- deal to butcher lambs for the guy that sells lamb - for resale at higher prices
- same with the chicken orders
- word of mouth sales from people who send other people to order from the shop and pay extra for the orders to be picked up. The meat market is 6 doors away and they're going anyway. They make 50% on top of salary with this one.
- people to tell them about supermarket special deals on meat (Easter, Christmas etc), they resell it in the shop at markup (double at Christmas)
- overalls, cloths, cleaning supplies

Thanks,
Glenn
