I don't know if this tip will be new for anyone else, but it was for me. After only just recently realizing I have been cooking bacon all the wrong ways forever (which is to say, not in the oven), I opened up a larger space in my life (hooray!) and my refrigerator for bacon and finally figured out how to store it.
How I'd been doing it before, which is (for me) the wrong way: cutting open one long side of the package, removing whole strips of bacon, and then shoving the package into a gallon-sized bag that is always just slightly narrower enough than the package to be annoying.
How I do it now: cut the entire package---plastic, paper label, and bacon---in half crosswise with kitchen shears and stand the two ends cut side up in a quart-sized bag, into which they fit perfectly. Subsequent bacon half-slice removal is a breeze. This is also handy for freezing because you can take just one half of a package out of the freezer at a time to defrost (moving it into another quart bag). This way only doesn't work if cooking whole uncut slices is important to you aesthetically, which to me and the dog is not.
