I feel like people who say their local is cheaper are almost exclusively just rich enough to not notice the prices. The quality is probably much higher, sure, but price? Nah. None of the four or so near me are cheaper.
(Also, butchers don't put stuff out on clearance that can just go in the freezer until needed)
Different prices in different suburbs. Inner suburbs fancy butcher vs outer suburbs regular butcher, or markets. (But not farmers markets. Those are often niche expensive produce) So both statements can be equally true, butcher cheaper than supermarket or butcher more expensive than supermarket.
I'd love to find a cheaper butcher than the supermarket but I've looked a little bit and haven't had much luck with it sadly.
