Seems really damn expensive. Black forest bacon = really good and a hell of a lot cheaper from the butcher counter at whole foods.

The key is using the grease to flavor the foods you cook with it. That's where the real value is.

These days I just use a spray of PAM. I miss bacon.

I pay $3.49 a pound for peppered thick slice Bacon (yes I capitalized it because I think it is that important)

a 1000% increase is a little stiff even for the good stuff

Jesda HTF can you go from Bacon grease to Pam, that just doesn't seem right.

I don't plan on living past 65 so I'm enjoying all things that are bad for me now. I figure you only live once.

With a family history, my one shot at living would only last 35 years :gapteeth:
