So we have reached 52 straight weeks of “Goin’ to the Market” updates.  One full year of bacon deals at Michigan grocery stores.

I’ve changed the post title to reflect that change.  Instead of starting “Week 52″, it’s now “1.0″ with the one standing for the number of years the segment has run continuously and the number after the “.” denoting the week. So next week will be 1.1, then 1.2, 1.3, etc.  Sort of like magazines do with volume/edition.

Enough with the nomenclature…where can I buy some bacon this week??
