Say you’re hosting a holiday dinner for ten people. A typical Honey Baked Ham weighs around 7 to 10 pounds. At $8.50 per lb, that’s about $60 to $85 for the whole ham. Now, compare that to buying ten individual steaks from a nice steakhouse—you’d be out a mortgage payment. This ham feeds a crowd and leaves you with legendary leftovers for days.
And leftovers aren’t just leftovers; they’re a victory lap. Think ham sandwiches with a little mayo, ham and scrambled eggs on a sleepy Saturday, or even ham in your mac and cheese on Tuesday. That cost per pound gets stretched into three more meals.
The "I Only Need a Little" Strategy
Maybe you’re just feeding you and your partner, or you’re the friend who brings the main dish to a potluck. You don’t need a whole ham the size of a toddler. Honey Baked Ham sells half-hams and even ham steaks or individual servings. A half-ham (about 5 pounds) will still cost you maybe $35 to $45. That’s less than a nice dinner out for two, but trust me, it feels like a lot more fun when you’re eating it in your pajamas.

Pro tip: Check their website or call ahead. Sometimes they run a "buy a full ham, get a free gift card" or a "spiral-sliced special." Those deals make the cost per lb feel like a steal.
