You can always freeze it.
USDA Says it only good for a month frozen.
What crapolla.
I did that last year when I bought some meat market fresh bacon on discount (7 days already ticking). Cooked half of it all at once and froze the other half (since used).
Nothing wrong with it and it was CHEAP.
I’ll eat bacon but don’t normally buy it.
Just eat the whole package and the problem is solved.
I will buy it on sale and freeze it. I have some frozen slabs that are at lease 5 years old.
Tastes great when fried—just like the bacon it is.
The article claims bacon can be frozen a month but I know it can last much longer than that in the freezer. When a butcher shop a few towns over runs bacon on sale we buy 30 to 60 pounds at a time. Once we get it home we vacuum pack it in packages of a couple pounds each and put them in the freezer. Over the course of 3 to 6 months the bacon is all consumed. When we get down to a few pounds in the freezer I start watching for bacon to go on sale again. Buying bacon like this we pay a little under 3 bucks a pound, plus whatever the vacuum bags cost. The best thing is the bacon is far superior in quality to that found in our local supermarket.
I buy 3lbs bulk at a time. 1lb. vacuum sealed and into the freezer, 1lb. vacuum sealed and into the refrigerator. and finally 1lb. into a zip lock for immediate use. Never had it go bad.
We have found the thick cut bulk bacon at Food for Less (kroger) to be very good and only $3.99 a pound in the Butcher shop. It is often sold out.
Bought 4lbs of Apple wood smoked thick cut Farmer John’s at Sam’s last time shopping, decent not great. Apparently Sam’s stopped caring Wright brand bacon which is what I was looking for. Hopefully that is a temporary situation as I hear Wright is first rate.

Yup. Freezes well with no change in texture. Lasts for months that way.
