Oh yes, that's a great use for it. I've done that before, both with cold cuts and with meat that they wrap at the meat counter and label.

I've just discovered another use for our beloved opta. Let's see, how to explain. I love cold cuts. I don't buy pre-packaged, preferring to go to the deli counter at the supermarket, and buy cold cuts in small quantities. Recently, the meats are now wrapped in cellophane, and placed in ziplock bags. Then a sticker is applied. On a hunch, I took one such bag out of the fridge, to see if I can read it with the optacon. Eureka! It worked! I guess the stickers are pre-printed. I guess they must have a template set up. All the clerk has to do is punch in the price. How neat it was to be able to distinguish the different kinds of cold cuts I'd bought today.
