There are many possible reasons why you need to get a meal quickly. Maybe you only have an hour for your lunch break and your boss gets on your case when you’re even a few seconds late. Perhaps your office team is having an impromptu meeting. Maybe you’re already on your way home from work and the football game is coming on soon, and you so don’t have the time or the energy to prepare something nice.
Or maybe you’re just hungry. That’s always a good reason why you’ll want to stop by the Albertsons (no apostrophe) Deli. Albertsons is primarily a chain of grocery store, the first of which was set up way back in 1939. The mission of the company back then was to give customers what they wanted in a price they can afford, complete with tender loving care. That’s the principle that still applies to Albertsons today.
And since the Albertsons grocery store offered fresh items every day, it didn’t take long for a deli to crop up. After all, some people just wanted a meal quickly, and the Albertsons folks can do that flawlessly with all the fresh ingredients they have available.

Meals To Go
So what are you in a mood for? With Albertsons Deli, a lot of different moods can be satisfied with the wide variety of treats available here.
Of course, you have the sandwiches. By definition, a deli ought to have some sandwiches to offer. The Albertsons Deli offers freshly baked breads every day, along with fine quality cheeses and meats. Combine these items with the Albertsons special mustard, and you have yourself quite a sandwich in your hands.
But not everyone is a meat lover these days, and sometimes you can develop a conscience and go for the green stuff for your munchies. That’s fine, since every day the Albertsons team put together a special selection of veggies that’s a healthy snack you can take on the go.
If you’re jonesing for fruits, your preferences are covered by Albertsons as well. Some, such as the apples, are just waiting for you to get in a bite. Others, such as the bowls of pineapple and watermelon, are already sliced so you can just fork them and eat them.
But if you’re in the mood for something that’s a bit more sinful, then there are cookies here too. The cookies are simply awesome, and both adults and kids will love them when you’re plonked down in front of the TV.
For something that’s a bit more “sophisticated”, you can get a tray of premium cooked shrimp. Each tray of shrimp comes with 23 to 30 shrimp pieces of various sizes. Get some cocktail sauce, and you have some simple shrimp cocktail for guests to “ooh” over.
Other options include a guacamole tray (always a perennial favorite), chicken wings, and a dip platter in which all the dips you need are in just one convenient tray.
All in all, if you’re in a hurry then these meals will give you instant satisfaction. They’re all affordable, and more importantly they’re all scrumptious too. Fast food may have a rather unfortunate rep in the food industry, but you can’t say that Albertsons is guilty of offering tasteless food.
Party Treats
On the weekends, Albertsons Delis do tend to be quite popular as well, even if offices are closed and everyone’s home relaxing. That’s because they also offer party trays too, so you can really relax at your party. You can call first and discuss your options—Albertsons Delis are famed for their excellent customer service—or you can just drop by.
These Albertsons Deli party trays offer quick bites that your guests will truly appreciate. The rotisserie chicken is always popular, and so are the Take n’ Bake Pizzas.

Conclusion
So is it perfect? Well, not really, but then again no such deli is. The main problem with Albertsons Deli offerings is that you don’t really get a lot of info about the ingredients, so if you have an allergy to black pepper for instance you may have to wait a while to find out if the deli chicken has black pepper in it. On the Albertsons website, the info wasn’t posted, but emailed to the customer who asked the question.
Meanwhile, the nutritional info for the deli items should be available at your local Albertsons if you ask. That’s always crucial for dieters, which in the US is probably everyone we know. But for the most part, you have healthy options here, and even the sandwiches and the meat platters should suffice for your nutritional requirements.
In any case, it’s all about quickly served food that’s very tasty and delicious, and Albertsons succeeds admirably indeed.

I have moved to El Paso, TX from Birmingham, AL and am looking for the grocery deli that sells Boars Head roast beef. I am used to buying it at Publix in Birmingham, but they don’t have that store here. Thank you for any assistance.
