I don't know why normal people would get bent out of shape over cold
cuts being pre sliced on those big movers. This place has great sale
prices on their weekly specials. The places gets pretty busy so they
slice up a few pounds when things are slow so they aren't holding
everyone up slicing when it gets busy. People are going to take it home
and out it in their fridge for at least a few days before they use it.

When you buy sliced cold cuts do you use them immediately, or do they
sit in the fridge for a few days? What difference can an hour or two make?

In the cities around here they sometimes have some pre-sliced cold
cuts, but usually only the big sellers like ham, chicken and turkey.
It is usually very thin sliced. You can always asked for fresh sliced
and specify thickness.

Yes, but not self service, it is packed by the deli people and it is
kept in a case. In spite of that, I'd still prefer fresh sliced to
order. It does save them time when it gets busy.

About 30 years ago I used to go to a small deli/grocer store for
sandwiches at lunch time. They were made to order and quite good.
There was always some older retired person in the midst of the lunch
rush buying four slices of bologna.

Because it's not sitting in open air, sliced already. Drying out.
Whatever.

I'm fine with everyone else buying it pre sliced. I only speak
for what doesn't appeal to me.

We had a place like that just down the road from our office. They had
sandwiches made with quality cold cuts and cheese on a nice fresh rolls
for a ridiculously low price.

I can't say that I aw that at the above deli. It was more typically some
older German or eastern European buying their cold cuts for the week and
they took forever. Thank goodness for the pre-made sandwiches.

It is sitting in the cooler. The meat is stacked up and it is covered
with a paper. It is not drying out any more than it would be at home in
your fridge.

I suppose unsold pre-sliced meat (where I shop) is packaged and goes
into the refrigerated case when the deli closes up. Deli workers go
home hours before the store closes, so late shoppers that want deli
meat would have to pick it up in packages. Same with the unsold
salads. They would be packaged and go into the deli refrigerator
case. Stores are pretty good about judging how much product will sell
in a day, so I rarely see any of either one in the refrigerated case
the next day.

Of course, Steve Wertz claims to be an expert on everything and thinks
he knows better than I do how my grocery stores operate. So (wait for
it).... here comes his pontification on the subject:

That's what Winco does. They package it and put it out in the cold
cases. It is clearly marked as to what it is. No mistaking it for
anything else. It is bargain priced. It always appears to be gone in
the morning.

He is known, by many government insiders, to be an openingly unabashed
(doesn’t hide it among friends) pedophile, specifically referring to the
Franklin Community Credit Union scandal in the 1980s which was a major
national scandal that was covered-up by White House officials during the
time GHWB was vice president to Reagan and later.

He is also a practicing satanist by many accounts (now very popular
among the elite with their hand signs and T.V shows with satanic symbols
and themes – Beyonce, one among many); a coward (during World War II);
authorized the assassinations of democratically elected foreign leaders,
as well as American citizens – most notably Ross Perot who ran against
him as president – and used the CIA as a front for drug smuggling into
the United States using military transport aircraft and ships, a
practice that started with the Iran/Contra Scandal and later blossomed
as a major source of black operations funding outside the congressional
budget appropriations process where Congress controls the purse.

The going rate for bananas in Canada is about $.78/lb. Why would a
deli/butcher, who are NOT in the produce business and don't get bulk
produce discounts from distributors, carry them for $.28/less per
pound than the regular grocery stores?

It just doesn't add up, Davey.

Look at how old her daughter looks so you know sf must be old as dirt.
A couple online sites put her at 100-115 years old while her husband
is a mere 69 [here's to you, Mrs. Robinson!] If you look around the
rest of her daughter Melissas travel photos shes got some jugg's on
her that you may like.

They are not the best quality bananas. They tend to be small and quite
ripe and are always cheap there. I stop by several times a week on the
way home from the gym and pick up a 2-3 at a time.

There are a few dullards here who seem to have trouble with the fact
that she checked the price..... 50 cents... and when questioned about
being sold individually instead of by the pound she checked again,
realized she was wrong and weighed them. I ended up paying by the pound
like I usually do several times a week and have been doing for years.

There's a lot of loss with produce, what doesn't sell rots... makes
more sense to sell bananas at cost or even less to minimize losses. I
see reduced price produce offered every time I shop

Often stores carry merchandise called "Loss Leaders", sold at a small
loss in order to attract customers into the store who will then buy
high profit items. There's an ice cream store near where I live that
sells ice cream made on premises that gives customers free toppings
when they buy bulk hand dipped, including free bananas. Their ice
cream is very good but expensive, they don't lose by offering free
toppings when it increases sales. Do you really think the fast food
joints would sell nearly so many fries if not for the free ketchup...
it's not really free.

Many stores sell bananas priced at cost in order to attract customers
to buy the high profit seasonal fruit. The market in town advertizes
bananas in their weekly circular every week at 49¢/lb, probably still
more than they pay but attracts folks to buy the expensive seasonal
fruit, like cherries, peaches, plums, etc... and the bananas are
placed so people have to traverse the entire produce department to get
to them.

This particular butcher/deli always has a number of great deals. They
have a sign board out in front with their weekly specials and their
deals are hard to resist. While the bananas are cheap.... and seconds..
the cold cuts and other specials are outstanding. They specials get
people into the door and believe me, they get it back in spades. Their
regular meat prices are high and they always give huge portions. Ask for
a pound of regular ground beef and they give you more like a pound and a
half, and then they try to charge for extra lean.

Many stores offer complimentary items for free but make up the small
loss by selling high markup merchandise... bananas are cheap relative
to beef.

I was actually believing you until this.

Believe it. It is the reason I tend to buy only stuff that is on sale.
The meat counter tends to be busy and they prepare your order and then
bring it around to you when it is all packed up so you don't have the
time to check the weights and prices, and then it is too busy to go
back. You just want to get out. It has happened too many times and with
too many different staff.

Since my Dutch butcher closed I have been going to another place that
has great meat and good prices and they give me what I order and there
are no little tricks going on.

Who knew that ground poodle was so popular in Canuckistan?

That seems high for this time of year. When local produce hits the
market in the spring, banana prices drop considerably. Right now, they
are 39¢ to 49¢ in the US. Would Canada be that much higher?

They are typically in the 60-80 cent per pound range here. This place
always has a lower price, but they also have lower quality bananas. They
tend to be ripe and on the verge of overripe, so I only get a few at a
time. However, as I pointed out before, when I questioned selling by the
piece instead of by weight she checked and I was right.

Of course you were right...I can't believe this discussion is still going
on. The vast majority of retailers sell bananas by the pound.
I know of a small corner store with no scale. The proprietor sells them by
the banana...$1.00 each.

Erik and I have discussed it and we don't approve of the way you're
carrying on here. I don't think we can allow you to see your
