Store bought deli meat is so expensive.

$4.99 / 100g of roast beef.

Aside from the price, store bought deli meat makes me feel very unwell if I eat it.

Sandwiches are my favourite thing to eat. If I could pick only one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it would be sandwiches.

I decided to invest in a meat slicer and let me tell you… it was the best idea.

We had a roast for dinner and the next day I shaved the rest of it for beef dips and still had enough left for lunch sandwiches today.

Stay tuned to see what I’ve got planned for this meat slicer!

Have you ever made your own deli meat?
