Best out there
We love this bacon in my house. The flavor is great and it crisps up real nice in air fryer! It’s always out of stock or limited stock at my store if that tells you anything. 50 cals for 2 slices of bacon? Always yes!

Slab o'salt bacon
If you like salt and nothing else in your bacon this is the one for you. Also the amount of grease that cooked off was as if this was not center cut. Choose any other brand if you like flavor in your bacon.

Best bacon for the price out there
We buy this bacon all of the time and it’s so good! Can’t beat the price either for the same quality of bacon. My family notices when I get the cheaper brands and complain.

Oh so good
Love the Market Pantry center cut bacon from Target. It my favorite new find in the grocery section. The bacon cooks evenly and taste oh so delicious. Glad I discovered it. I’ve made breakfast tacos, and bacon cheeseburgers so far and it adds tons of flavor.

Changed.
This used to be decent bacon and I bought it regularly. The last 4 times I purchased it (over the course of about three months) the flavor has been off. It's got this nasty bad pork aftertaste. And I'm not sure what is going on where they cut it, but it's not even strips anymore. It's a mangled mess. Won't be wasting anymore money on it.

Used to overlap, now so small it fits perfectly smh
To show how much Target is disrespecting its loyal customers with SHRINKFLATION, this is 3 strips of bacon, cut in half. Using the same pan that I've always used, they used to be all bunched up and overlapping. Now the portion of meat has shrunk so drastically that as you can see in the pic I attached, they fit perfectly with more than enough space in between them. This is ridiculous and I'll no longer be purchasing. This is nothing but excess profit and I've had it with corporate greed. This last time was THE LAST TIME!!!!

Worst. Bacon. Ever.
Cooked it to make it crispy and it was still gummy. Can not crisp this bacon. You get what you pay for. Pay the extra dollar and get the Oscar Mayer.
