Affordable meat?

Newish to Abbotsford. How the HELL do you afford to eat meat around here? We don't like pork so that's not on the menu, and somehow no other land animal is less than $16/kg. I understand birdflu making eggs and poultry expensive, but beef or lamb or goat are just as bad. It's been a lot of rice and beans or tofu since we moved here. Am I missing something or do you all just deal with meat being egregiously expensive?
