Jack Link's DUOs Beef Jerky 8-Pack: Is the Bulk Deal Worth It?

An 8-pack of Jack Link's DUOs in Original and Teriyaki works out to about $1.66 a bag — here's who should stock up and one thing to keep in mind before buying.

What you're actually getting here

Jack Link's DUOs bags split the pouch between two flavors — in this case Original and Teriyaki — so you're not locked into one taste the whole time. Each 3.25-oz bag is a solid mid-size portion, better than a gas station single but not quite a meal-replacement brick. At $13.30 for eight bags, you're paying roughly $1.66 per bag, which undercuts what most convenience stores charge for a single. If you go through jerky regularly — road trips, desk snacking, hiking — buying in bulk like this is a straightforward way to spend less per bag.

The one thing worth checking before you order

Beef jerky in general runs high on sodium, and Jack Link's is no exception — worth a glance at the label if you're watching intake. Also worth noting: the DUOs format means you don't get to choose your ratio of Original to Teriyaki; it's a fixed mix across the pack. If you strongly prefer one flavor over the other, a single-flavor bulk pack might serve you better. But if you like variety and want a shelf-stable snack that keeps well, this is a straightforward bulk buy at a price that makes sense.
