Things must be quite different here Jill. Where bacon is sold at the
meat counter it is usually cheaper than the packaged stuff and its
always a superior product. In fact, I am surprised that people buy the
packaged stuff if there is the option to buy it at the counter. I get
all my bacon fro the local Dutch butcher. No one else's bacon comes near
the quality, and it is at least $1 per pound cheaper than grocery store
bacon.
