But in an effort to be more frugal lately, I've been trying to bake my own bread. Unfortunately, I haven't been very good about actually letting the sponge set, etc, so the timing works out to bake the bread and have it alongside soup. My answer? Biscuits and muffins! Baking powder biscuits are cheap and a cinch to whip up while the soup simmers. Muffins using pureed fruit or squash make a hearty, savory side for a thin soup, and again, they usually don't take long to make (especially if you've got some applesauce on hand.)

I buy two loaves of the whole wheat extra fiber - freeze one and make sandwiches for my son's lunch and toast 2 slices for myself when I eat breakfast at home on the weekends or when I make eggs for dinner.

I do the same thing. My freezer is like a mini bakery. Whenever I need bread or some baked product I just look in the fridge and de-thaw something. Hey Ray,

I'm able to buy bread at a 70% discount to the supermarket. When I go, I buy about a half dozen loaves and freeze them. They come out of the freezer like new. Many bakery outlets offer senior citizens discounts and have special manager's promotions. Ask the staff about their promotion schedule. I love our local bakery outlet.
