A tip for saving some bread (literally and figuratively)...buy bread at a bread store or dollar store, then freeze it. Several months ago, I went to a local bread store to see if I could save money. There was a sale on Nature's Own bread (the kind I typically buy), buy one and get one free. To top it off, if you spent more than $5.00, you could get an additional bread item for free. I also bought bagels for $.95. I left the store with 11 loaves of bread and 1 bag of bagels for $10.19. After attempting to go back and get the same deal, I was unsuccessful. I learned that this can be a hit or miss deal. Fortunately, I found out that our local Dollar Tree store gets bread deliveries once a week and it's always $1.00/loaf. It just so happens that it also has Nature's Own. Yay! Once a month, I go to the store and get about 10 loaves of bread. They also have hot dog and hamburger buns. FYI: 2 loaves of bread will fit inside Hefty's Jumbo freezer bags, which I put into our deep freezer. I'm curious...where are the best places in your area to get bread for a great price?
