I know making it yourself is best but I still end up using plenty from the store too. Local meat shop had #2 quality natural hardwood smoked no liquid smoke cases on sale. 10 lbs for $20. Grabbed 20 lbs. Roughly 17 lbs of slices albeit some really wide and 3 lbs pieces and ends. Super happy with it. May go buy more lol. Broke it all down into 1 lbs packs and vacuum sealed. Here’s some of it. Bags were a tad short so I curled it and made them work. Didn’t feel like messing with the sealer rolls

Heck of a score! I been buying at braums lately. They dropped there price to $4.5 lb. I need find reason to drive south again. Trader Joe's still had $3 eggs last time down there and they where really good. That is where that Champion juicer is for $85 but not sure I ready to jump down that rabbit hole yet!

I buy at GFS often. At $2 a lbs I’ll buy this every time it’s available for sure.
JC222, Nice job getting some decent priced bacon !!!!
Thanks I was happy.
Now that's a whole lot of bacon weaves right there. Yes it is.

Nice score Jeff.

Point for sure

Probably not good for weaves or poppers but darn near everything else.

Nice score Jeff!

Nice price! Bellies this morning at Costco were $3.99 lb.
I still buy store bacon to use for wrapping meats. It's usually thinner and more stretchy than what I make at home.

Wow! Great price! We still buy some store bought bacon if we find a deal... wife likes making bacon bits to have in the freezer.
