The last sale that our grocery store had on canned veggies was 2 cans for $1, and that was the store brand.

I was just wondering about the price of bacon in the store. Around here it's running about $5 (for 10-12oz pkg) to $7 (for 1 lb pkg), how much for anyone else?

Koxxx, that is what I was paying here about a year or so ago. I can't believe the jump. I did find a store that would occaisionally sell it in bulk (10lb box for $20=$2 per lb) and I took a chance. The first time I bought one, it was great with a harwood smoke & I was sorry I hadn't bought more. I recently found it again and bought two. This time I was disappointed that it was way too salty (atleast one of them were, I'm hoping the other isn't so bad) I wonder if I soaked it in some plain water if it would draw out some of the salt.....

I do that too & have noooo problem with it as they are still bacon just in smaller pieces than strips & much cheaper too. I'll do whatever it takes to fill our baconholic need :lol:

NOT Southern, Ca. :)
Bacon went up for us in early spring. You can get some of the lesser quality stuff on sale 2 for 5 to 6 bucks. But anything with meat on it or thicker than paper runs 5 to 7 dollars and I don't think the package is even a pound any longer.

My husband is in love with the medium thickness bacon we got from our fair pig. I averaged out at 3 bucks a pound on that.

Here it's 7.98 for a 1 lb package... for a decent brand.. I did find one brand for 5.98 and bought it.. but most of them were 7.98.. If I find any on sale in the future I'll have to pick up a few extra and freeze..
