When I was in Sainsburys the other day I brought a pack of their Basics bacon to try, it was only £1.48 for a 300g pack and that's about 8 slices. The reason I thought I'd try it is because my dad's getting on my case about buying a pack of bacon for £3.00, eating 2 rashers and then chucking the rest in the bin when it goes out of date. I'll probably still do that but at least we're not wasting such a mad amount of money! lol

The bacon comes shrink wrapped but when you've opened the tight packet and took the bacon out you'll see it looks loads nicer than it did. The fat looks thicker than other bacon but the actual meat isn't full of fatty parts like I was worried it was going to. The rashers are also quite thick, they don't look the business because the edges are a bit rough and there are a few tears in the bacon but that doesn't bother me.

I cooked my bacon under the grill and it was fine, there's not a lot I can say about this product apart from that because it's just bacon but in a naff packet! lol

The fat on this bacon is what put me off because it's dead thick, I sorted this by simply chopping it off before cooking the bacon and then it was just the same as the more expensive bacon. It cooks evenly and has got a yummy meaty flavour when it's done, I had some for my breakfast this morning on a butty and once it's cooked I couldn't tell the difference between this and bacon that costs double.

You can freeze this bacon and I've stuck a few rashers in the freezer to try because that might be the way I stop wasting bacon, it's stupid throwing it away like that when it's mega expensive (not this one I mean other packs of bacon) but who can eat 8 rashers in 2 days??? Not me and because I'm the only one in the house who likes bacon enough to buy it I suppose it deffo is my fault that so much is going in the bin.

Recommended.... just cut the fat off before cooking!!!
