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

I’m very thin and can eat bread and pastries without gaining weight and never count calories. Happy to buy older baked goods at a discount sometimes. Sorry about your weight issues and calorie counting!

Bread for stuffing, pudding, bread crumbs, croutons, and toast.

Me. I grew up poor and I'm a good cook. I also cooked in restaurants where I learned to see that food= $$$. Now live in Bethesda. I refresh the the baked goods. I also buy high-quality organic meat that's close to expiration and make use of our chest freezer. I will not buy feed lot meat. If you think expiration dates on packages are real you have been fooled by the man.

Not you, apparently. Why do you care what others do?

It's tempting because they look fine... but the texture and flavor is always lacking. Why eat 500+ calories of sweets or carbs if they're not that great.

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

I lived in Brooklyn after college and made $20K. I used to shop at the really great middle eastern bakery and buy bags of their older pitas—I think a bag was like a dozen for 60 cents or something. I used them for pizzas and all sorts of things. The middle eastern grocery was also really good for cheese and bulk olives.
I also did double couponing at the regular grocery and walked around the store to figure out what was on the deepest discount. I learned the hard way you’ve got to give that discounted meat a really good smell test.

Poor people work in expensive grocery stores and buy their day old products. Open your mind, Becky.

NP
People who think it is a bargain and is good enough if you just warmed it up in the toaster.
Some people love bargains and don’t care about calories.

Because 500 calories isn’t going to kill me. Or make me gain much. That’s why.

Who said anything about doing this daily?

Day old bread is what I want for things like French toast, bread pudding, soups, etc. You must not know how to cook, OP.
