It spoils so fast because of all that excess water they pump into it,
and because it's wrapped in plastic.

It *might* have a chance if you transfer it to unlined butcher paper
(not freezer paper) so it can breathe a little -- keep the anaerobes
from taking over.

Or just cook the whole package since a pound of bacon is only about 11
ounces now (and most of that is water, see above)
