At Rouses, the last time I got some Chisesi Ham, it was almost $8 a lb. and a little over a year ago is was just over $4 a lb.
Among everything else listed this one gave me sticker shock. For health reasons I cut way back on consumption of deli meats but decided to cheat a little recently. There were very few choices for less than $10/lb! (Zuppardo's) I also don't understand the large increase in bread prices. Maybe as a necessity they feel they can gouge, but milk hasn't skyrocketed like bread.
On the plus side chicken wings are as cheap as they've ever been ($1.29/lb recently) so there's that.

In the past I would head to Rouses a few times a year when I had a hankering for a muffaletta and they sell the large seeded bread in a pack of 2, so I'd pick up one of them and then head to the deli counter and buy the following:
1 lb. Chisesi Ham
1/2 lb. Mortadella
1/2 lb. Genoa Salami
1/2 lb. Provolone Cheese
Then head to the aisle with the olive salad and pick up a small jar.
Once home I could make 2 large muffs that fed 4 people easily and although it was not cheap, it was still way cheaper than buying them already made from Venezia or Liuzza's.
NOW, it's break even if you're lucky.

But restaurants keep jacking their wing prices up. It’s ridiculous out there now.
