We had one of those guys out here a couple of months ago. The pitch wasn't quite so unpleasant, and I had the man unpack and show me all the meat, and I pressured him until I got solid $ figures. They don't make it easy, I know, including cheap items in with the expensive ones and giving you an overall figure for the lot. But with enough questions on portion sizes I was able to whip out the calculator and determine that the per-pound price was too high.
Next time you can tell them you're vegetarian (it was meat he was selling, right?)...
