“Re price of bacon....”
I’ve tried a lot of different brands of bacon over the last few years. I don’t normally buy meat at Walmart, but they carry Farmland bacon which we really like and the price is hard to beat. I put a bunch in my freezer. Also, I found it’s a myth that bacon won’t last more than 6 months in a deep freeze without going rancid. I’ve thawed and cooked bacon frozen over 2 years and it was still fine.
I think 6 months is for pork (uncured). Bacon is cured so it will keep a good long time.
I buy BJ’s brand bacon (box of 3-1 lb packs) works out to about 3.30 a lb I think. Expensive but still way cheaper than the grocery store.
