Post by: ACW3 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.

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.
