The "Net Price" comparisons shown here between fresh bacon and precooked bacon is the only known apples-to-apples, or in this case, a 'yield-to-yield' bacon price comparison being made anywhere on the Internet.

All other price data reported here is a compilation of the USDA's source data and it's derived from publicly available sources that includes sampling thousands of retail stores, their circulars, newspaper ads, and retailer's websites.

The "Net Price" shown in the far right column for "Fresh Sliced Bacon" was calculated to consider a 30% yield as if you cooked enough fresh bacon to end-up with a pound of cooked bacon. It is the only way to accurately compare pricing of fresh and precooked bacon. This computation was not made in the "National Summary" portion of the report.
