Rant: That day-old bread rack at the bakery down the street is my secret weapon

I noticed my local bakery puts out a rack of day-old goods every afternoon. I buy a baguette for a dollar and turn it into garlic bread or croutons for salads. This small change has saved me over twenty bucks a month on food. How come more people don't do this?

Depends if your local bakery even has one. I mean, mine doesn't, so maybe it's just luck.

Yeah that "maybe it's just luck" thing is so real. I got tired of wasting trips, so now I just call my spot before I go. Like, right when they open. The person who answers the phone usually knows what's actually on the shelves that day. Some bakeries are just bad at keeping popular stuff stocked, which is annoying. It's not really luck if you can just ask first.

Three Oaks near me never has them either, @mason_knight.
