I was so tired last night after dinner that I could not keep my eyes open. That would be why there was no Tuesday night grocery post. Sorry about that, but I do have a Wednesday morning grocery post for you.

Old grocery budget: $1499.84
Amount spent at grocery: 28.62
Amount spent at assorted food joints: 5.43 (chicken tenders and some bottled water)
New grocery budget: $1465.79

The grocery was about half torn apart when I went. There were aisles half empty of food, bunches of stuff sitting in the middle of of the aisles on carts. I expect that they're having a corporate reorganization of some sort. Whatever. If they move stuff, I just won't be able to find it. I am currently unable to locate the bacon. Honestly. Isn't that a staple food item? Should it not be at least reasonably close to the meat section? (I think bacon is made of meat. If there exists soy bacon, it is surely unsatisfying.) I'd buy bacon if I could find it.

If I were married, I would not be having this problem. I could send the man out to bring home the bacon.

(There are likely those of you now rolling your eyes on the grounds that the entirety of two paragraphs ago was a setup for that less than inspired humor. It wasn't. I actually cannot find the bacon at my Weis. Suggestions on that front are welcome.)

In most places, bacon is normally near the hot dogs. And since the hot dogs are usually a huge display (to make the kids go "MOM!! I WANT HOT DOGS!!!"), it shouldn't be too difficult to find them. Then you just have to scrounge around that area and the bacon is usually hidden in there somewhere.

(In my Giant, the hot dogs/bacon are located at one end of the pre-made frozen food aisle. In the Genaurdi's, they are at the back of the store with the pre-packaged lunch meats and Lunchables.)

Bringing home the bacon

Despite the fact that it is my wife who brings home the bacon, I can tell you where it is located in the Weis. When you walk into the store, go more or less straight ahead. On your left will be a cooler case with bologna, hot dogs, and...bacon. Cassandramorgan is correct that it is near the hot dogs. In the Weis, the bacon is relatively concealed by having the cooler case in the middle of the store instead of along the outside wall where you would normally expect it to be.
