Who buys the day old and 50% off items at the bakery?

I don't care if it's free, if sweets, bread, or a pastry are borderline stale I personally don't want to waste the calories eating it. And it's not like you're saving a hundred dollars, it's just a few bucks.

Um, okay?

Really useful post here.

I buy the bread sometimes to make croutons.

Some people do not have a lot of money and even a dollar or two is too much.

I do if I am there early and freeze it for things like cookies or dense muffins that are very unlikely to be stale. But I want my baguette fresh

[Anonymous]

I do! I just check how long ago they were made - a few days? Sure. A week? No.

When you bake in your own home is everything consumed immediately or over the course of a few days?

Stale , but high quality, bread is great for bread pudding

[Anonymous]

We have. We prefer fresh, obviously, but we've been through some lean times. Not sure why you are so oblivious to the lives of others.

[Anonymous]

I do. Plenty of others do too. Not everyone has oodles of money or is wasteful.
Stop being such a snob, OP. You sound ridiculous and frankly stupid.

[Anonymous]

Great for making strata, bread pudding, croutons, bread crumbs….lots of reasons OP!

I bought bags of day old bagels on college.

Is it that hard to imagine being poor, op?

[Anonymous]

My old money, 86 year old mom only buys day old bakery items.

Of course I buy them. It’s one of many things I do to save money and avoid waste. I was raised by parents who lived through the Depression. Waste not, want not.

Poor people don't live in affluent neighborhoods and shop at expensive bakeries.
