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.
We have a very tiny market not far from us that survives on their old fashioned meat counter. They have ‘packs’ of meat that you can buy. We buy one a month and it lasts us all month. Cheaper than if I bought meat at a regular grocery store and you just can’t beat their meat.
