Honey Baked Ham

Doing a little happy dance because I will be having reimbursed ham for Easter :-)

Does anyone know why some locations are shopped and others are not?

No, the MSC cannot be named, because the Client is named in the Title of the Thread.
That's what I figured. So the franchisees are the ones being shopped?

I didn't see this round of shops so I'm not sure. There are a couple of MSCs that have shopped this client so I'm not sure which locations but I believe they're corporate stores that are shopped typically.
I don’t like spiral-sliced ham. Too dry. The ham shop was on my board, but I passed. I’ll grab a grocery shop and get a semi-boneless for .99/pound.
Have you ever cooked them in the slow cooker? I do a spiral-sliced ham from Aldi's - on sale for 95 cents a pound. Delicious and never dry. Below is the link to the recipe I use, although I cut down on the sugar for family dietary restrictions. Slow cooked in pineapple juice...yummy.

I have not used a slow cooker for ham. Don't really use my slow cookers often. I like messing with the food when I'm cooking. Stirring, tasting, adding a pinch of this or that. I'm no good at not taking the lid off a slow cooker.
I did get one o the Ham shops. They are located about 20 miles from me and I am supposed to order online, But have not been able to do so. If I can't order on line I have to stand in line and explain why I could not order online. The website will not complete the order.
I'm legitimately surprised these are going so fast. In my area it's a $4 fee + reimbursement for the ham. I guess people like ham a lot more than I do - I see it requires 7 photos and in that tiny stores seems like a real pain.
Delicious as it is, I can't believe the general population spend that much money on a chunk of meat and sugar. Blows my mind.
Most of the photos are of the ham itself and taken when you get back home.

I agree. The only time I get them is on shops.

Only shop email I saw was for $70. Is that the one? How big are these?

I usually buy mine for $13-15...not sure of the exact size. I like ham with breakfast, but not much else. smiling smiley Bagel/muffin + egg + ham + cheese = heaven
I was really surprised when I completed the shop yesterday. There was no line and only 4 people inside. This morning I was in The Fresh Market and they had lots of Sprial Hams with brown sugar for $2.99 a lb and Aldi had them for even less. I can't imagine why people would actually pay $7.95 a pound for them. Maybe that is why there was no wait.
There is another store very close to me and this afternoon,, no line. Guess people are finding other options.
I can beat that-my store only had three customers other than me!

I think I can beat that - I was the ONLY one in the location at the time of my entry until I left - and it was the Friday before Easter, around noon.
I had a walk-in shop.
