Attention all Michigan Dopers, Bacon Salt will soon be arriving in the 28th St Meijer in Grand Rapids, MI. If it sells quickly enough the entire chain will be picking up the product! That is 181 store locations throughout the mid-west!
We must all do our part as dutiful lovers of bacon. When I can confirm that the shipment has arrived and is on the shelf I will post here (it should be soon) and then I will be heading up to Grand Rapids to buy enough for myself and any bacon lovers on my Christmas list. The more people that can do this the better chance we have of getting Bacon Salt to become a staple of every mid-western home (and the better chance I have of being able to buy Bacon Salt within 3 minutes of my apartment).
I suppose that I should point out here that credit is due to Captain_C for pestering a mutual friend of ours that works in the Meijer purchasing division to get them to pick Bacon Salt up.
Hm. Will the bacony goodness be coming to me? I was going to go out and get bacony goodness, but if the bacon train whisks me up and takes me on a fun, tasty, mystical ride…
Well, I just drove 650 miles each way to get some…I suppose there was that pesky visiting family in there too, but finding they were not out of Bacon Salt at City Fish was a wonderful moment! I have a pic of it there, but the camera is downstairs and I’m lazy.
“Almost nobody carries this stuff,” the guy who got it down (it was waaaaay up high) told me. And I gather it sells quite well. So now I have two containers for my very own self and I was virtuous and got one for my bacon-loving aunt here. I hope she likes it!
Mmm…bacon. Perhaps I should fix some eggs in a bit, bacony-flavored eggs…mmm, bacon!
Maybe we should all send emails to our local Meijers as a starting point for our plan of global saturation. Hell, if I can find them easily enough, I’ll do Giant Eagle and Kroger too.
Well I finally broke down and bought some from their website.
With the CDN exchange rate, it cost me less (about .03 less) than the USD amount. It was like I had to do it.
I don’t know the method of shipping - hopefully I don’t get nailed with UPS fees if that’s how it ships.
I’ve never ordered condiments on-line before. I’m already going through recipes that might have the potential to work well with bacon salt. mmmmmmm bacon
Any of the first group of buyers made a second round of purchases yet?
My sister is a bacon-hater (yes, I know, but she’s still useful alive) and she’s been eating Bacon Salt recipes without complaint. She might be upset when I tell her there’s Bacon Salt in 'em…
