About time to raise hogs-Price of Bacon

Quit buying that prepackaged garbage. All we buy now Hemphills applewood smoked. Best bacon we have come across is years.

Google is not helping me find it. Where do you get it?

We get it at Safeway stores in the deli case.

Price should come down. Caught this on the news yesterday. Makes me wonder why?

7.99 for 12 ozs. Sheesh! I can buy NY Strips for that.

That works out to over $10.50/lb EEK!
And currently I can buy an untrimmed filet mignon for 8.00 bucks a pound.
Yeah. I know what we are having for Christmas dinner as part of the main courses and and it's not bacon....

We don't buy bacon pre-packaged any more. We buy from a local grocery store (Mom and Pop's) that gets their meats locally. They have bulk bacon, and it's FAR less than pre-packaged AND much better! (Smoked or Sugar Cured). Neither one is drowning is salt like their counterpart pre-packaged big name cousins.

Have you ever purchased a slab of bacon.... NOT sliced! And sliced it yourself.... If not, you don't know what your missing!

We buy ours at the meat counter as well but it is already sliced. Much leaner than the pre-packaged and goes for about $3.99/lbs at our place, occasionally on sale for $2.99/lbs.

I don't care how much bacon cost I'm buying it!
