When Frugal Gets Absurd--A "High-Value" Lunch Meat Coupon

From the Cheap Chick blog at the Salt Lake Tribune. Bologne...YUUUUUUCK! It's not even real meat, but the LEFTOVERS of real meat butchering, like rendered pig snouts.

I can't copy-and-paste it, but apparently there's an Oscar-Meyer page over at Facebook with such a coupon. The blogger in question is making a big fuss over this coupon, like she hasn't ever seen such a deal on bologne, of all things.

Want a better deal on lunch meat? Invest in a meat slicer, and go to a warehouse store and buy either a pork loin or a beef eye of round, cook it, and slice away. Some warehouse stores will even slice the raw meat for you while you wait.

UPDATE: I learned yesterday that Kraft is selling off its Oscar-Meyer unit. I wonder why. :P
