I just use a large pyrex lasagne size glass pan. No need for foil, just
pour the drippings out (save for use or dispose of) and scrape the pan
crusties with a spatula before washing in the dishwasher. No foil to buy

I try to avoid this by buying the ones called 'thick sliced'.

I just wish we could get back to a full pound, be it bacon, coffee, or whatever. And oh, those shrunken cans of tuna.

I buy coffee in 12 oz bags for ~$5, which works out to about $6.66/#. No
wonder why they don't use 1# bags.

I sometimes buy coffee that's $8 for half a pound, so what you're
paying is cheap no matter if it's in 12 or 16 oz bags.
