A little while back my wife got some off brand bacon that was cheap but looked good thinking it was worth a try. It turned out to be great bacon. Last week she was at the store and they had it for $2 a pound (actual pound packages) as the date wasn't too far off, but the freezer doesn't care.

Today she was in the store again and they had a large amount of the short dated bacon of that brand for a $1 a pound. We now have 15 more pounds of it in the freezer and I wished she had got a lot more as we eat a good bit of bacon.

Bacon is one of the few meats you can judge from appearance. I buy some really good bacon cheap by looking at the sample slice windows on the back. Gwaltney is one of the brands...

Opsec. We're going back in the morning to see if we can get some more. We have plenty of room in the freezer and it will used.

I am skeptical of the cheaper bacon. I have tried it on occasion and it was crappy. If you found a good cheap brand, kudos to you, ya lucky dog!

That used to be GTG store-bought bacon. That's what we would buy till we started buying the Kirkland brand at Costco.

I just snagged some Giant Eagle brand thick cut for $1.50/lb. In store special; it was close to the expiration date.



It must be bacon overstock season

DC Burbages, It's Lee's brand bacon that has a thin layer of skin on it and it doens't taste very good.

My wife and I were just talking about this and we're thinking that Bacon is so high now that it's not selling well and a lot more of it's getting close dated, especially the off brands. Whatever the reason though, we now have a LOT in the freezer.

Not very OPSEC you're in Texas, of course it's at HEB.

I've never seen an HEB anywhere but Texas, also never seen anything but HEB in Texas.

It's like it's a state owned store or something!

Pretty sick and tired of bacon...

BUT... It's pretty much the one food that'll boost my ketone level, and bust me out of a stall on my weight loss.



I just buy 3lbs packages of bacon, once a week at Sam's Club

No shit... I have to do a "Health Risk Assessment" every year for my Co.'s health insurance...

My Blood Pressure, Triglycerides, HDL (and LDL), and Glucose levels all improved significantly from the prior years assessment... And that was only 2 months into the Ketogenic "Diet"

Next time I go to the real butcher, I'm going to see if they have any pork bellies. Going to cure and cold smoke them myself.
