Bacon!

If you'll allow me one more post about my visit to Meg's, I want to write about bacon!  (Bacon seems to be all the rage on Facebook these days, so I should be right in style!)

On the main drag right at the end of Megan's subdivision is a Piggly-Wiggly-supplied grocery store.  Butera Market.  The prices aren't particularly good, and the selection isn't as great as larger stores, but it sure is handy.  Meg goes through the weekly mail flyers to check out the sales, to compare Walmart and Aldi and Jewel/Osco...and Butera.  One week, Butera advertised a pound of Tyson bacon for $2.99, limit two per customer.

Next trip to Butera, I went right for the bacon...but there was none left.  Sold out.  At the counter, I asked for a rain check.  The gal told me that they had gone through 65 cases of the stuff, so all of the rain checks were already filled out!

Next trip to Butera, within the same sale week, there was bacon, so I bought two pounds.

Meg went to Butera next, still within the same sale week, and bought two more pounds.

The next trip to Butera was in a different sale week...but the bacon was still there and still at the sale price, so I bought two more pounds.

Finally, before I left Meg's, I took the rain check and went back to Butera to buy two more pounds.

Are you counting?  Eight pounds of bacon for just under $24.  Not bad, eh?

A better question might be "Why does this please me so much??"  Obviously, I like bacon.  Even more obviously, I need a life!!
