I used to stop monthly at a bakery outlet to get cheaper bread and pastries. Their prices increased and I stopped going.

Do you still find deals in places like this?

I used to find good deals at the bakery outlet being we don't do dessert very often and aren't big bread eaters most in our area have closed. I used to really enjoy shopping at the bakery outlet.

I find good deals compared to the prices at the full service grocery stores and Costco. We like sourdough bread, Costco sells it for 2 loaves for 5 dollars and I buy it at the Bakery Outlet for $1.39 a loaf. I buy my DH's whole grain bread for $1.39-$1.50 a loaf there also. At Costco his bread costs $4-5 for 2 loaves. Whole wheat buns for burgers are $1.40 at the Bakery Outlet and at the supermarket I can't find them under $4.

We use to have them and now they have disappeared... even the big well known one in San Fran. I don't know what happened?

We are lucky, we have a great one within walking distance of our home. They have great deals on bread - 2lb loaves of whole wheat/multi grain/oat bread for $1.50 each. They have deals depending on what they need to get rid of, so will be different each day. I often get english muffins or hamburger/hotdog buns for $1.25 or less.

They have a free table that you can pick an item from if you spend more than $7, fill your punch card, or other promotions.

I always spend at least $7 on the bread, so guaranteed at least one free item each trip.

We had two bakery outlets but one closed. They decided it was more cost effective for them to throw the bread away. The other one is not cheap. Babs

The bread outlet that I use to shop at closed. There is one about 1 hour away, but I haven't been there for a while. I found out that the dollar tree that is one hour away has bread. One dollar a loaf. So it has bagels, english muffins, and regular bread. It depends on the day what they have. I have cleaned out.
