This is the way I feel about it. I understand that you're not getting much from your home-cured bacon but this just rubs me wrong. I would bite the bullet and buy and cook bacon to get good drippings before purchasing it from others. If you're making your own bacon as a cost savings effort, I wonder if having to buy drippings completely negates those savings...? Just a thought.
