I don't buy special bacon at this point in my life. As it is, a pound of bacon is barely enough with 3 growing boys, my wife, and I. It's, at best, $3.99/lb, normally 4.99 or 5.29 a lb. UGH, too expensive.
However, I must give props to my wife for a great purchase she made. Hyvee had some bacon that was rapidly going to expire, so they put it out for 99 cents/package. She bought 42 pounds of bacon and its all sitting in the freezer. Should be enough to last us through February.
