I rarely purchase lunch meat at the deli. Instead, and especially after large holidays when grocers have turkeys and hams at great sale prices like .99 a lb versus the $5.49 and up prices per lb. at the deli, I buy whole turkeys or hams and ask my butcher if they can cut them into half, thirds or even fourths!
They have usually been happy to do so for free so I can take advantage of some of the cheapest per pound meat prices and they even package them up individually (saving me on time and packaging too) for me to freeze for individual use as meals and/or lunch meats later!!
Great for smaller families who can't use up all that meat at once but still wants the cheapest per lb price!
Time and money saved!
