Keep looking. The day old bread stores where I used to live sold their specialty breads at really good discount. The bread was much better than white or wheat.
A local grocery store here sells a store brand specialty bread for about half price of the name brand. Selection has been cut back from what it used to be.
Big Lots near my house sells the better brand for a very low price - they have a sign up explaining that the bread is returns that were not sold at the supermarket and that the expiration date is sooner than you'd find at a regular store.
I don't eat much bread myself but my 4yo likes peanut butter and jelly/honey. I generally make the entire loaf and sandwich and then pack it back in the bread bag and freeze it for later (I throw one in a tupperware when we're out running errands)
I think Vons has one of the better tasting store brand breads
When I lived in NJ 10 years ago we had a Hostess brand thrift shop. They sold other brands too, you could normally get 7 or 8 snack cakes or pies for $1. On Holiday weekends when they closed for Monday they would have a special that week where you would get 12 or 13 snack cakes for $! too. Decent stuff like Twinkies that came 3 instead of 2 to a pack, Chocodiles, Drakes fruit pies, they sold white bread for 49 cents and had a lot of other good deals. Now I'm shocked that 1 snack cake or pie is $1 at Walmart.
I found a local thrift bakery in Florida that looked similar but they didn't have anything that good and prices were only about 25% off retail. They closed within the last year.
Our local Jimmy John's restaurant sells their day-old bread for 25 cents, starting about 10:30 the next morning. The loaves are not full size, but it is delicious bread.
There is a neighbor and he is a senior citizen and I think he gets free day old bagels and bread from Panera. He offered them to me once to twice and I said no because I was walking my dogs and didn't' want to carry them. I should have taken them.
I got spoiled going to our local bread store that has regularly sold bread at 1/2 of the price I'd pay at Wallyworld. They just closed. Any suggestions. I don't have a Costco/Sam's membership. Can you save money there?
I try to get the day old bread for $0.50 per loaf at Jimmy John's, it toasts really well, is obviously great for sandwiches, makes excellent garlic bread in the toaster oven and is very tasty and very cheap.
It isn't available all the time for us though since we live near a college town, a lot of time the college kids get there before we do but summer is coming up so I will be able to get more bread than normal and stick it in the freezer.
99 cents? really? The closest market to me has an off brand for about $3.50. Brand name/specialty breads are about $7/loaf. Aloha.
That's the price for living in paradise. The large scale efficient farms and bakeries all on the mainland, everything needs to be shipped. But don't you get great prices on pineapples?
