How long do you keep sliced deli meat?

I always buy too much, and I never learn.

Freeze half of it. It works pretty good if wrapped right.

I never buy more than a quarter pound, enough to make maybe 3 sandwiches.

I go to the store at least twice a week, no reason to buy a lot.

However long that is, I keep it a leetle longer than that.

About a week and half is as long as I'll go, and I'm generally a guy who laughs at expiration dates. After the week and a half it gets that weird slime on it, and while it doesn't smell bad, it doesn't smell good either.

Now if we're talking about the sliced cheese that goes with deli meat, hell, that keeps for a good while, despite what the package says about 7 days.
