We buy Hillshire farms and then sometimes our stores equivalent to that, and there isn't a noticeable difference. We buy another brand sometimes too but I can't think of what it's called.

I buy it at the deli. It's more expensive but tastes much better than the pre packaged.

I don't eat deli meat (not my thing - I roast a batch of chicken breasts/thighs at the beginning of the week and use them in salads for lunch throughout the week), but DH does. We have two stores close to us that roast their own whole turkeys in store and then sell the sliced meat. Might be worth looking into places around you to see if any stores offer the same thing?

Pre-pregs, I prefer Boars head, since it's nitrate-free. I'm not a health-nut *at all* (sadly), but my granddad worked in a lunchmeat factory in his 20's and wouldn't eat it for the rest of his life because of what he saw.

So now I try to just eat the nitrate-free, to at least cut down on the cancer chemicals, since I can't control what else might happen in the factory.

The deli counter for DH, Boar's Head. I usually will buy the prepackaged stuff but my doctor told me get from the deli while pregnant. I usually will get Publix unless Boar's Head is on sale. I just hate that the deli meat doesn't last more then a week, feel like I waste so much.

Usually we'll get turkey from the deli counter.

@Thehistoryofus: Really? I never knew that. I buy 1/2 lb thinking that is good for lunches all week and then I end up bringing leftovers, so I had throwing it away.

I only buy Boar's Head. The other stuff?....I can't do it. I just can't. Boar's Head is too good. I like the ovengold turkey, the buffalo chicken (drool) and salami. Sometimes I will snack on salami and cheese straight out of the fridge.

Turkey-avocado-cucumber roll ups are good snacks.

DH is very picky about his lunch meat, only boars head for us. Honey maple turkey.
