Between now and the first of the year I will put 5 or so 1 lb packages on bacon in my freezer.
Bacon prices are absurd now. Minimum of $6/lb on sale.
Luckily the discount grocery here has various brands that are 2-3 weeks away from their expire date at 1/2 the going price.
I buy several pounds at a time and freeze them. Never can have too much bacon especially now that I’ve got tomatoes running out my ears.
I buy the larger 3# packs of quality bacon when on sale. I cut the strips in half and vacuum pack flat 10 Oz. packages that freeze and thaw quickly.

Yep, bacon will keep well if frozen. We prepped at the beginning of the virus and had 30 lbs. in a chest freezer. Will probably do it again if I lived there.
