Meat slicer/lunchmeat

DH is really into lunch meat for his lunches. We do ok with it, try to buy it at Costco and freeze it, but I was wondering if I might be able to get it down to a less costly endeavor. I'd like him to take more leftovers or other dishes (he is going it more), but we infrequently have enough for both of us and I rely on them for my lunches because I detest lunchmeat more than just occasionally. I could do a big cook; I know that - that is not the question at hand.

Does anyone make their own lunchmeat, have a slicer, etc.? It is going to be his fallback, always, and that's fine (I'd rather it be lunchmeat than the wife tending to his lunch every day), so wondering how we can arrange it to be cheaper while still being healthy.

I could just use a knife but my wrists do not like too much cutting with a knife, so it's not a savings if I wreck my wrists on it! Are there manual devices that would do the same thing as a big slicer (something I do not want to store)?

Anyway, ideas welcome.

When I think of lunch meat, I thing of bologna and such. If your talking taking a ham, or a pressed turkey breast, that is a different story. More so when you start talking thinks like brisket and such. I have access to an automatic commercial slicer. My brother bought a home version at some point. He is afraid of it, after getting his finger cut good, cleaning it. Either is NOT something you want someone distracting you, when your cleaning them. The automatic feature is good for some things, like slicing green peppers or onions in quantity, but not used often in cutting meat (it also is a different attachment). A home slicer, you must start with breaking the meat down into smaller portions.
I have bought and sliced up a ham (can't use bone in), into thin slices, a bit thicker slices, and a large chunk for ham and beans. A vacuum sealer is good to go with these, otherwise, I am sure I would have lost some to freezer burn.
For bologna and the like (if you meant minced type of meats), I am not sure where you would even buy them whole to save money on them.
