Your personal page does not say where you live (or anything else for that matter.) So I do not know if this will be helpful.
If you are anywhere in the Upper Midwest (MN, MI, IL, IN, OH, KY) then you can patronize a hypermart called "Meijer's."
They carry a house brand of beef pastrami that I buy regularly.
Flavorful and tender, it is reminiscent of the stuff I had on several occasions in Manhattan. (The only bright spot of any trip to that hell hole.)
I left out aromatic. My wife can tell when I've bought it while it's still in the bag as I walk in from the store.

That is beautiful...
I knew Publix was screwed when they moved the braunschweiger from eye level to the top shelf and put some chorizo (Mexican, not Spanish) in its place. At that moment, I joined the rebellion...
Thanks for the tip. I’m not in the Midwest but recently had occasion to remotely order a deli platter for relatives in Minneapolis. I spent a lot at a specialty place but probably could have done better at Meijer’s.

I'm glad you offered that because I'm sitting here eating a sandwich with pastrami I purchased from Meijer's yesterday.........LOL!
