I'm picky about the quality of the bacon I eat.  I consider
$16/pound and having to cook it myself to be well worth it.

 
I get excellent bacon for $4.79/lb.

 
That's what I just got but it was a BOGO offer.
 
I also got some Turkey bacon for a recipe to try (uses them as
crumbles).  The Turkey bacon was 2.99lb and a friend says it's
actually good for crumbles.  We shall see.  It's a store brand.

 
IMO, turkey bacon is odd.  It's turkey that is ground, seasoned,
packed with preservatives pressed to form into slices.  Sometimes
smoked. Anecdotal evidence by looking at the grocery store, some
people must like it.  I suppose it is because some think it is more
healthful.  I have tried it a couple of times over the years and
sorry, it is not bacon.  The texture is weird, too.

Thanks!  I don't really expect perfect 'bacon' but decent crumbles for
use in things like topping a baked Mac-n-cheese casserole.  Looking for
'acceptable' where Don doesn't eat it all up.  Kinda like homemade
bacon-bits?
