That had better be some mind-blowingly awesome bacon. Like orgasmically good.

How much bacon do you actually get? $30 a month seems like a good price for bacon to me. I spend about double that much now.

I would suggest they skip the toy pig, the T-shirt and the ballpoint pen and replace that with more bacon!

I was thinking the same thing... I checked the site but I don't see how much bacon you get. If it's a pound or more, I'd seriously consider it!

On the site it says "one package each month", and the standard package is 16oz. That's a poor bacon/$ ratio.

Edit:
the $375/year one is two packages.

All of the "*** of the month clubs" are like that. That value proposition is in the quality, rarity and variety. If you want LB's/$ spent go buy store brand bacon on sale at your local supermarket...

That's what I do. I couldn't imagine spending $30/month on bacon. I spend $6, tops.

...or buy the individual packages for $10+shipping each on their site.

1 good package of bacon costs that much. you're either clearly buying inferior bacon (corn king sucks) or you're not getting enough bacon.

I usually go with Tyson or Hormel.
