The main reason is that all jerky is costly to make. Beef is about 60% water, so when it is dried most of the weight is evaporated. It takes about 2.5 Lbs of quality beef to make 1 Lb of jerky. Secondly, many jerky companies use expensive chemicals and preservatives when making their jerky, and they have a lot of waste just based on how they make it.
I love beef jerky too, so here's the secret: Go to Walmart or Bass Pro Shops and buy a $40 dehydrator. Then go to your supermarket and buy meat ask the meat department to slice it super-duper thin for you. Marinate it overnight in whatever thrills you in the fridge and the next day put it in the dehydrator, give it 12 hours and voila! - you have a much healthier and better tasting jerky. I make my own out of chicken, turkey, salmon, beef, etc....
because, a 10 oz cut of beef yields about 2 oz of jerky, add the marinade and spices and time and it becomes an expensive process
