Can you buy Honey Baked Ham slices by the pound at the Honey Baked Ham store? ---

As far as I know, no. My brother worked at one as seasonal help once, and they basically just glazed the various hams (put some sort of sugar/honey stuff on them and blowtorched them apparently), wrapped them and sold them. According to their current website, they have bone-in and bone-out hams of various sizes along with sides, but you’re buying an entire quarter-ham or half-ham, not just 1.25 lbs of slices. ---

The last time I went to one of their stores, the smallest quantity I could buy was 1/4 of a ham for about $30, I believe. That’s still way too much for two people. ---

They operate a deli in some of the stores - meaning you canbuy sandwiches - maybe its a per store decision? ---

I googled and found [HoneyBaked Ham store locations](http://locator.honeybaked.com/). Would you consider calling the nearest store and asking them? ---

When I was grabbing the half-ham at the Northridge California franchise, they did have a freezer near the door loaded with 1lb and 2-lb vacuum-sealed packs of slices for people to grab as they wound their way back-and-forth through the store before getting to a cashier. There were also freezer-packed ham bones for those who wanted to grab one for soup stock (or a gift for the puppy?). Their quarter ham is just over 3 pounds; it seems they encourage patrons to get one of those rather than multiple pre-packs out of the freezer. When it’s not Thanksgiving, Easter, or Winter Holiday prep season, they’re a regular restaurant. So was the one down in Clairemont Mesa California, so I figured they all operated that way. Do some of them just closed between the holiday rushes? —G? ---

My local HBH sells sandwiches too. But since that’s not that overly helpful or interesting; I’ll add this… Do yourself and go to Costco and pick up $100 of HBH gift cards that only cost you $80. It’s a great deal. Your Welcome.
