I buy one lb. of bacon a month. I pay $5.99 a pound for it but it reminds me of the bacon I had when young. Thick. The local meat market sells it and I just can’t help myself and buy a lb. every month when I go to pick up my months meat order.
I like the thick bacon, too. I’ve been buying Wright bacon as it has a good flavor and the price is decent, it actually dropped in price from what it was running last spring—18.99 for 2.5 lbs.
I bought some right before Christmas and I know it was cheaper but I don’t recall the exact price (we were going to have bacon over the holidays!) hahaha! I *think* it was 16- ish, though it was on special.
I thought about trying a meat market but shortly after we moved here I read a news story about the one nearest us having some issues and when I further researched it on the net, it didn’t have any good reviews.
I think I need to look into this again— there’s bound to be a good one around here. When we were stationed in NC there was a fantastic meat market. It would also be nice to find good soup bones, it’s a real chore to find them at the grocery store.
Meat is getting too expensive and now China is getting into the mix—ugh.
