Bakery Reduced Goods-Short Dated for a Quick Sale



Another good way to save money is to ask your butcher, bakery etc what day of the week and time they mark down their goods for a quick sale as the items approach their sell date or good by date.
You can freeze the bakery items, or store in the fridge to make them last longer if you really score a lot in one shopping trip.

Always be sure and have a Sharpie handy to mark the date you bought it and when it will "go off" or be outdated and may make you sick. Short dated cake we try and eat in 2-3 days, and yes it can give you mild food posioning if you forget how old it is and eat it past its prime!
Here are the items my husband scored today for $16. That includes full price bread 85cents and the full price tortillas.
We have stopped buying short dated meat - too many stomach issues and not worth the risk, and now love the once a month pick up of the low cost and good meat from Angel Food Ministries!!
