Hey all.

Just wondering how long deli meat can be expected to store in the fridge?
I'm talking about meat (in this case salami, pastrami, and pepperoni) sliced
and purchased from the deli in the local supermarket. This deli in
particular wraps the meat with some paper, and then puts it in a zip top bag
with a slider zipper.

I'm thinking in the long run it will be cheaper to buy these meats from the
deli on a regular basis. I'm trying to figure out how much to plan to buy
on a weekly basis, half pound, full pound, etc. Normally, I'll have at
least six sandwiches a week using these meats. In the past we've not had a
problem with the meat going bad, with buying only half a pound of each.

Just looking for a little guidance here is all. Many thanks!
