Expired Bacon
It has a "sell by December 6" sticker. Will I get sick if I eat it?

Fried properly you probably wouldn't get food poisoning, but it might not taste very good. Unless you like rancid fat, that is.

The bacon is in the trash, but I still regret throwing away those 4 dollars.

Yeah, I was tempted, but I had to. Incidentally, the last time I had food poisoning was around Christmas too (from eating at the Olive Garden).

When in doubt, throw it out.
However, with meat (unless it's fowl), you can usually tell if its bad from the smell. Open the bacon (in the future, since it's bad now, having been out of the frige for a while) and smell. If it don't smell right, it's bad.
Many things can be kept for a while after the "sell by" date. That's not an expiration date, it's the point at which the store may no longer sell it. Some products, like skim milk, can be kept for weeks after the "sell by" date and still be safe. Since bacon is processed and has perservatives, you can probably be okay for a little while afterwards.
But always apply the 1st rule to everything. When in doubt, throw it out.

Also remember that ferezing can throw that SBD out the window. I had bacon in my freezer for six months before I ate it.
Remember never re-freeze meat.

That's the thing, it didn't smell or look bad. I wouldn't have even noticed it if it was oriented a certain way.

Yeah those sell by dates are only for selling by. If it had best before then yeah through it out.
Besides think of the pig that had to be killed for you to chuck that four dollars of bacon in the bin. Won't anybody please think of the little piggies.

$4? For a packet of bacon? Jesus. Or was it a supersizefamilyeconomy pack? And you didn't check the sell-by date?
