Usually by the 1 pound or 1 1/2 pound package I believe. These packages have slices
of bacon about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide, not 3 inches. I thought you might mean a
slice, but it didn't seem like enough bacon. I guess it isn't in our slices. 

Ours also come either thickly or thinly sliced. They also vary in how much fat
there 
is. I prefer to get those packages that have lean and fat in lines rather than
in globs.
For this reason I avoid the packages that don't let me see the back side or
all the
bacon. Most of the "brand-names" seem to want to hide the bacon behind the cardboard
packaging.
