Why? Yoder's is upwards of $20 for 9 oz whereas regular bacon is $3 lb.
Each can of Yoders Canned Bacon has 40 to 50 slices of fully cooked and drained bacon. Between 2-3/4 and 3-1/4 pounds of raw bacon go into each can.
MRE Depot Price: $159.95 for 12 cans which works out to $13.33 a can about $4.45 a pound.
Learning to use what you intend to store is a very valuable lesson about those stores. Anyone thinking prepping is about hoarding then if the SHTF opening those preps is in for a number of surprises since they never learned about them and adjusted accordingly.
Besides, Yoder’s Bacon is awesome, especially for a BLT! For the cost, consider the cost to cook and clean up after regular bacon and you will find the cost nearly equal.
