My local supermarket (Market Basket) takes these deli 'ends' and repackages them and resells them at about 80% off regular price.
Roast beef, ham, cheeses of all types, bologna, salami, mortadella, olive loaf, chicken loaf, turkey breast...the works.
Great for snacking or slicing for sandwiches on your own home slicer.
A pound of roast beef for $1.50? It is my first stop each week.
SHHHH! I did not mention that on purpose! My dad taught me tht as one of my college survival skills without a meal plan. Sneaking into hotels with happy hour buffets was another. Just don’t drink. Local fruit and citrus trees at midnight was another.
