I don't eat bacon fast enough to thaw an entire pound, so this is my strategy. I have been doing this for 10 years in Korea.
I buy a package, put it on my cutting board for 10 minutes, just enough to thaw SLIGHTLY. (actually, its ready by the time I get home from HomeEver) Then I take my cleaver and cut it in half. I put each half in a ziplock freezer bag (quart size) and toss into my freezer. I take one out when I want.
It takes me about 2 - 3 weeks to finish a thawed half. Remember, this meat has lots of nitrates, esp. salts, it won't spoil easily.
Put it in the back/top of your refrigerator, where its coldest.

Word to the wise; the honkin' packs of bacon at Homever are frozen solid; so unless you eat bacon like Elvis used to (ie, a pack at a time), you won't be able to re-freeze it.
