I’m sure somewhere like Whole Foods would have it, but so any local stores carry it regularly?

Also, anyone ever cured a whole pork belly and smoked their own bacon? I want to do it soon if I can find some

Every winter for the last few years I buy a case of bellies (no Costco on the No. Shore). I cure and smoke them for bacon.
Check out SMOKNGMEATFORUM. Great site for learning how to cure and smoke foods.

I thought about them, but I just had a feeling they’d be a good bit more expensive

The wife and I have the Executive Membership that costs somewhere around $120 a year for the both of us.

Near the time you need to renew your membership, Costco sends a check for a percentage of what we've purchased during the year and it always works out to be enough for our membership and puts about $75 in our pockets.

Hell, if you just get the cheapest membership for a year, the gas savings alone will usually pay for that card.

Tramontes has these sometimes too. It will be more expensive than Costco for sure.

Well call and ask.

Last time I checked with them, it was a decent price. Costco i think didn't have them whole, its already cut into 1 inch strips.
