[font size = 5]Bacon Prices Plummet After Hitting All-Time High
[/font size = 5]



Bacon price rose consistently for nearly five years, reaching an all-time high of $6.11 a pound in June 2014. But now they've finally started to drop.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest Consumer Price Index report, released Friday morning, showed that the price of a pound of bacon averaged $5.21 in U.S. cities in April 2015, the lowest level since May 2013. That means it fell by nearly 15 percent between June 2014 and April 2015.
