Just an FYI... my wife says this is a good price for bacon at Dollar General $6.50. IDK... I don't do the grocery shopping.

Chevron station has gas at $5.15 for regular. There were actually idiots gassing up there. Both the 76 Station and Fred Meyer across the street have had gas at $4.69 for several days.

We get our bacon from the local butcher, $5.99 per pound. So much less waste from those store packages packed of water. The extra thick sliced is $6.99 per pound. So good

Oh, and a lot of the store packages are now only 12 oz

I often buy the "ends and pieces" of bacon that are packaged and sold at our "discount" grocery outlet. It averages about 2.99 / lb... usually a 2 lb pkg or so... some thick pieces, but alot of slices that are just not "nice looking".... sometimes a few pieces of fat back that works good in a big pot of baked beans... I don't care if they are "perfect slices".... I also bought bacon last year or the year before, before it went up so much and froze about 6-8 lbs; some in 6 slice pkgs so I could take out a pkg and have a couple of breakfasts or to cook and have for blt sandwiches and such.
Yes, I have noticed that often the bacon is in 12 oz pkgs instead of a full pound, at the same price; you know that alot of people don't look at that either.... just like the ice cream in 48 oz containers instead of a full half gallon....

I have been looking, but can't find those packages of odds and ends bacon. Used to use those a lot in the broke post divorce days in scrambled eggs or soups

Those "ends and pieces" pkgs are not there all the time... hit and miss. So when I find them, I will pick up a couple . But I might not see any for 2-6 months... probably don't shop on the right day and they get scoffed up by someone else that knows the value...
