Nothing wrong with a bargain, of course, but as a meat eater, I
wouldn't buy it if it was industry meat, for instance. Bargain or not.

It was industrial meat. I normally get real smoked bacon and eschew the
prepackaged stuff that is pumped full of liquids and chemicals. That's
not as much a problem with back bacon because it is all brined.
Apparently the regular price of that stuff was $5.99 a pound, so 25
cents a pound was the deal of the century. I guess the idea of chipotle
flavoured back bacon did not appeal to shoppers, but it was delicious.

You are generalising - I don't care for the treatment of animals,
suffice to say I eat far less meat than I ever did but I would find it
difficult to go veggie, too many years as a meat eater. Are you
telling me you deliberately buy the most expensive stuff in the
market? I certainly don't, love to find specials or bargains.

I doubt it. He often talks about Suffolk. So no, he is not a pretendy
Canadian, unlike someone else who is a pretendy Scot.

No, I don't usually talk about people in my bin, but if they want to do it
....
