Regular bacon. However, nothing's more expensive than something
on 2 for 1 sale, so I don't really know the real regular price. I just
figured $3.50 a pound is acceptable.

Whenever you see those 'how long will things last in the freezer' lists,
they always say bacon, a few weeks. Well, I leave it in there for a
lot longer than that. I stock up on sales, too. $2 a pound, I haven't
seen that.

This newsgroup is what I like to call a Bad Influence.
