shop smart in the deli aisle
A weekend meal can last as leftovers all week.| Food | Size and Price Per Package | Cost/Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Deli, roasted turkey breast | 1 pound, sliced, $7.99 | $7.99 per pound |
| Turkey breast, boneless, whole | 8 pounds, $11.92 | $1.49 per pound |
| Deli ham | 1 pound, sliced, $8.99 | $8.99 per pound |
| Ham, lean | 2 pound, $10.98 | $5.49 per pound |
Tip: Think of the deli as valet parking. You can pay to have someone park -- I mean cook -- your turkey breast or ham, or you can do it yourself. Buy an entire boneless turkey breast and/or ham, and cook it on the weekend for dinner. The leftovers can be used for weekday sandwiches or frozen for the following week.
