You’re right Ray I actually found items at my bakery outlet to have a more current sell-by date than those at my supermarket. And like you I haven’t found any real difference in taste with the bread I have stored in my freezer.

Its funny how much money you save at the bakery outlet. I really really have trouble now paying full price at the grocery store.

I think people owe it to themselves to visit a bakery outlet at least once. I’m lucky enough to have one a few miles from our home. Talk about fresh, the bakery is in the back and sometimes the bread is still warm on the shelf. My favorite bread is oat nut which can run over $4+ a loaf at the supermarket and costs as little as $1.25 a loaf at the bakery outlet. I walk around our supermarket watching people with loafs of bread in their baskets thinking they could have saved $3 if they just went to the bakery outlet down the street.

A couple more tips:
- Get friendly with the staff and ask them about their schedule for specials. The bakery outlet where I go to has a managers special weekly with unbelievable deals.
- Many bakery outlets also offer a seniors discount of around 10%. I go with my parents.
- I know some people complain about the taste of bread coming out of a freezer but I’ve never noticed a difference between off the shelf and out of the freezer.
- Another way to find outlets: check the plastic wrapper on your bread at home for a phone number. Call it and ask them where the nearest bakery outlet is.

The bakery outlet I go to is owned by Bimbo (strange name) they have outlets in OR, CA, WA, TX, AZ, NV, NE, MO, AR, LA, and OK. Here’s a link to their directory:

You’re so right. In addition to the bread I always love picking up cheap treats like donuts, cakes, and pies.
