D'Orsogna Chorizo From The Deli per 125g

Is this one worth buying?

D'Orsogna Chorizo From The Deli per 125g is currently listed at $1.63 at Woolworths, against a usual price of $3.26. The dollar saving is small, so treat it as something to add to a shop you were doing anyway rather than a deal to chase.

Almost everything here is cured or smoked, which means it lasts longer than fresh meat but not indefinitely once the pack is opened. Sliced ham keeps only a few days after opening; sealed packs keep to their printed date. Most of it freezes acceptably if you separate the slices first, though the texture of very thin-sliced product suffers.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
