📗 Save Over $1,000 on Meat With My Butcher’s Money-Saving Methods: https://salpetralia.com
The price on the deli sign is the price of whatever lands on the scale, and some of that is water, paper and the slice you never asked for. The real price per pound of meat is printed on a label, and almost nobody reads it.
In this video, I show you how to find the real price of lunch meat at the deli counter, in seven checks:
The name on the label: ham, ham with natural juices, ham water added, and ham and water product, and why the cheaper one can cost more per pound of meat
The solution line on a turkey breast label, and how to take it off the price
The zero on the scale before the first slice
The little over, and the one word that stops it
The pre-sliced pack, and where I was wrong about it
Roast beef from a $6.49 a pound eye of round, about $8.65 a pound sliced, roasted to the USDA 145 degrees with a 3-minute rest
Turkey breast at about $4.15 a pound, roasted to the USDA 165 degrees, and a holiday ham at about $4.53 a pound
The arithmetic: about $13 a week and about $630 a year for a house eating 2 pounds of lunch meat a week

This is not a promise that the deli is overcharging you; most counters weigh and label exactly right. The deli is a fair deal on prosciutto, soppressata, aged provolone and a party tray sliced paper thin, and a sealed water-added ham is a fine buy if you like it and buy it by its name. Prices here are examples, about $13.99 a pound for deli roast beef and $6.49 a pound for eye of round; yours will differ.

What does roast beef cost per pound at your deli counter, and what town and state are you in? I read every one of these.
Read the name, watch the zero, say under.
