Bacon

The other day I decided to buy a few packs of bacon. Bacon is a hot commodity at our house. To save some cash I went with a less expensive brand. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, I have boys, they will eat it. WRONG, they thought it was gross and wouldn't touch it. 

It got me thinking about my desire to save a few bucks compared to having the boys actually eat what I buy. I suppose that sometimes a cheaper food will work, but not for bacon. What parallels does this relate to at your house? As for me, I'm still pondering that question. Meanwhile, I continue to buy less of the premium bacon.
