That you're poor/cheap has no bearing on the discussion at hand.
And you exaggerate, where do you live that Boar's Head is $9/lb...
Boar's Head is no more expensive than the other top of the line cold
cuts... I pay between $5-$7/lb for most Boar's Head cold cuts here in
NY. I think Oscar Meyer is exhorbitantly expensive, their turkey
balogna is $5/lb... sheesh! In fact Boar's Head balogna is only about
$4/lb... their all beef balogna is typically like 50¢ more. But those
1.99/lb "Deli" cold cuts are the most expensive, because after buying
them they need to get tossed in the trash, they are inedible for all
except those afflicted with CTAD. This discussion ain't about your
welfare budget.
