I'm new to buying bacon as I have been making leek and bacon pies. Those pies are the most expensive to make. No idea how expensive bacon is meant to be. The bacon bits, while convenient, didn't seem to be good quality so I buy big packets of Aussie rashers. $11 for 400 g, . I think that's $2 a slice πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But those pies are real good and I make about 8.

I bought 1kg for 12 from Aldi today. Short cut variety.

Going to be using them in sandwiches with eggs. Maybe onion too but I need to keep the onions for the curry.

It’ll be all worth it though.

Mmm if you can pie you can quiche. Tomato basil quiche is of the divine. You can also get more bang if you use those leeks with tarragon and chicken for delish pies. (I use thickened cream in the gravy, numnumnum)
