Seems expensive to me

My mom bought me some sliced turkey for sandwiches.
Got me half a pound, which turned out to be six slices.
At $11.99/lb the cost came out to $6.
That’s a dollar a slice.
Wow!
That’s a lot.
Unless I am wrong.
At least it tastes good.
I already enjoyed two open-faced sandwiches.
Lithuanian rye bread, mayo, turkey, Manouri cheese, and tomato sprinkled with smoked sea salt on the side.
Delicious!

Compared to Russian salami it’s cheap. Russian beef salami is either $19.99/lb or perhaps even higher. But yes it’s a lot. Next time I’m at the supermarket I will see how much they’re selling turkey for.

At my Russian store veal bologna is $14.99/lb from what I remember. Or maybe a little more than that. Ridiculous.

Cold cuts seemed to have really gone up in price.

I hope it is the best tasting sliced lunch meat you ever had, for that price! lol

It was regular turkey. Not smoked. Not honey/maple. Nothing to rave about. But with everything the taste was good.

Food costs are exorbitant, especially for healthy good.

I don't eat turjey and I think it is not that popular in our country.
But it is good you enjoyed it. God bless.

The price of meat in general is becoming cost prohibitive here too. I don’t think turkey slices are quite as expensive here as there, but it’s definitely not cheap. The price of beef is the killer here, and as a rule I don’t buy it. It was half price here at Easter, but I still couldn’t justify buying it. With the Iran war going on, it’s only going to get more expensive.
