Is it possible/good idea to freeze sliced meat (ala bernard matthews type ham or turkey etc but not bernards as his tastes like yuk!)?? The ones where u have like 5 slices of ham in a packet... could i just bung it in the freezer then get it out when needed and let it defrost in fridge???? I always find when i do a tesco delivery shop, the 14year old spotty 'erbert who "Deleted_User" my shopping always finds me the shortest dates in the warehouse, especially on these sliced meats! As i only use them for my sons sandwiches etc, i dont always manage to use up all the packets before use by date and *shock horror* sometimes have to throw them away! Then it occurred to me, maybe i could just bung the excess ones in the freezer.........
So...? Anyone do this?

I regularly freeze pre-packed meats with no problems. Obviously you can't do this if it's been previously frozen.
There's an earlier thread with more advice:
Can you freeze prepacked Ham ?
I'll add your thread to it later to keep the replies together.

i tried this because my granny freezes hers, but i found the ham to be very wet and abit tough after so i only do enough for quiche,omlettes and toasties because it's just not as nice in sandwichsDEC GC £463.67/£450

I also freeze pre-packed meats regularly and have had no problems at all. In fact, we have only recently finished all the reduced meats we bought at Christmas (£2.47 down to 30p) - OH used them for his packed lunch.

OP, I freeze all my pre-packed meats and not had a problem, I even freeze the Aldi Italian Ham slices which tend to be covered with herbs again without a problem.0
