..... so feckin expensive ?
i am not talking luncheon meat, corned beef, bernard matthews or the type of 'ham' that is 50 % water, i am talking something that actually resembles a sliced piece of actual meat.
£3.50 to £4.00 is not unusual to pay for 3/4 average slices of beef or turkey
think i need to start buying joints and cooking / slicing them myself |

Or going to Lidl or Aldi or even Asda where there are some really good cooked meats for half that price.
I try NOT to buy cooked anything. I like to buy nutrition not just a filler which is why I buy very cheap fresh veg and not the humongosly expensive prepared veg. |

thats what i do, buy joints and cook and slice them myself, pork is cheap at moment a kilo joint of Belly or Shoulder is about £3 a kilo in Morrisons.
Lamb is very expensive though

From time to time, I would treat myself to a few slices of medium rare roast beef from the deli counter, to be eaten with a sauce made of dark soya sauce, chilli oil, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and freshly ground pepper, yum!  |

"I bought a gammon joint for under £8 and have had meals and sandwichs from it all weekend. Far cheaper to buy a joint of meat and nicer"
.
I prefer to have a variety of cold meat in the fridge, ready to eat when I feel like it.
Hence I seldom cook a joint. |

Talking of cold meat.
I discovered sliced garlic sausages are great pan-fried, to be eaten with a chilli mayo with sesame seeds!
And my local supermarket often have them on special offer! |
