I use a vacuum sealer and it lasts for a long time. In an airtight bag I
have had no problem for up to 2 weeks.

I buy sliced turkey from BJ's in heavy-duty sealed vacuum bags (Perdue
Brand). I usually throw it into the freezer, because I use it only
when I don't have any nice leftovers in the fridge for sandwiches.

I notice no significant difference between the thawed-out packages and
the never-been-frozen packages. It is entirely possible that this is
because the pre-packaged stuff has preservatives in it.

Never a problem freezing cold cuts. (Sure beats throwing it out.)
Turkey, boloney, and ham.

I've used it within a month.

Some pre-sliced deli meats will lose flavor/texture when frozen. Proabaly
the best way is to shrink-wrap it with something like Tilia or some such.
W/o it, those meats with a higher water content will form ice crystals on it
and the flavor will suffer.
