The reason they are in packs of 8 rather than in smaller packs is because they assume that you will eat about 2 pieces and most households have 4 people.

... by way of fact we the clientele want it pumped full of water, interestingly. whether I on no account keep in mind being asked or pointing out my selection everywhere. the greater 15% is water glazing. that's a con that they paintings over on us the shopper. It will boost the load of the 1st baron beaverbrook so it reduces the quantity of meat easily bought via weight and it additionally makes the beef seem shiney interior the packet that's meant to be the way we like it, or so the supermarkets let us know. Mike L, the supermarkets are rather influential interior the processing and production of many foodstuffs considering that they're such vast efficient clientele, the providers supply them what they call for on the fee they call for or they have not have been given everybody to sell to.

Because they want to rip you off.
I love to shop at my local butcher, if I only need 2 x slices of GOOD bacon - I can have it.
I know they are a bit more expensive. But you will never beat the quality or taste.
Stuff Tesco and the likes. Fresh is best.
With compliments of the season to you and yours.....xxx

They do 6 or 8 rashers to make 200 or 250gm, but buy 2 from the Deli counter

goes back to pounds and ounces,we used to ask for half a pound of bacon and this was always cut so that it gave you 8 slices unless you asked for it to be cut thicker

Interesting...never seen it done that way, so I really can't answer the question.
Here in the U.S., it's sold by the pound.
