Its a shame that you can buy bacon for almost the same price. I have found belly for $3.99 but why bother going thru all the work when there is no savings but the flavor would be better.

In general, one buys pork belly to cook as pork belly, not to make homemade bacon.  If one makes bacon the goal isn't saving money but to get a superior product compared to the supermarket stuff.   You need to compare price to the fancy gourmet stuff.

You referring to the burnt ends moon lake? Ours turned out tasting almost like ribs, don't get wrong they were good but I'll stick to makin bacon out of the bellies.  Not sure what a # of bacon is worth in the store, it doesn't matter I'll stick to doing my own slabs, more tastier, more better and more importantly more funner . :lol:

It's what I stated back in April, as my butcher buddy said pork was going to be sky-high by Spring. Forgot why, it's posted somewhere on here. Prices rose 20% in January.  There was a huge sell-off of bellies and loins in the last week or two, which should bring prices down, as they typically do, around Labor Day. He just told me that this afternoon. (Picked up some pork roasts for $1.89 lb.) I guess ya can dig thru the archives on here if ya want for my butchers reasons why the price hike in January.  Nothing works properly on this site for me anyway, and takes forever.
