Do you go to local butcher shops?

Or do you just use the grocery stores? I’m thinking about this because every year we make a few special visits to some local places for meat or services for the holidays. But I don’t really go to them outside of that. We love Krizmans for sausage (best around as far as I’m concerned) and then use Bichelmeyer for getting a Turkey smoked whenever we need two turkeys and don’t want to cook two.

I don’t really buy meat regularly from them though to know if the quality is better or if the prices are better at all. I’d like to visit them more often but they are not exactly close to us. Just curious what peoples experiences are.
