Price Of BACON The Year You Were Born
« Reply #-1 on: May 11, 2016, 08:33:46 AM »
Besides being an interesting look at the price of bacon over the years, there are some delicious looking pictures of BACON.  If this doesn't get your heart pumping and your taste buds salivating, you might be dead.

$0.70 for me .... jeepers

in the last couple of years here they shrunk packages of bacon down from a pound (454g) to 375g, at first without raising the price, then the price started going up. Average is probably around $7/375g pack now.

It states 42 cents for 1942 but we raised and slaughter our own pigs so it is priceless :)

Smokehouse smell still lingers in my mind.

The inflation-adjusted price for my birth year is higher than today's price. Guess there weren't as many pigs.
