Hi Dave,


 RH> My parents used to hit up the used bread stores in towns about an hour
 RH> away when they had to go for medical appointments. They did more so
 RH> after all of us kids had left home, usually buying a lot of common,
 RH> sandwich type bread and a good amount of things like rye, semi wheat,
 RH> etc. They also bought a lot of doughnuts, coffee cakes, etc and stowed
 RH> it all in their freezer. We (Steve and I) never had a bread outlet

But when you have to travel some distance to get to it, it's no longer
thrifty. I used to bake all our bread; don't do it as often now but it
was still a cost savings over buying the kind of bread we like. The home
made 100% whole wheat is the only one I use for my general use bread
crumbs also.

It can be found in both the fridge and pantry.

Three guesses, then it hits the trash. (G)
