Budget Tip->Loaves of Bread

Store loaves of bread in the freezer and take out only enough pieces for a few days to help keep it fresh. Simply take the loaf out of the freezer to defrost when you need more pieces. Also, if there is a discount bread store in your area, stop in and buy "day old bread." I find 2 for $1 loaves of name brands of bread at the store in my community. Believe me, you can't get that deal in major grocery store chains. I think this tip is especially useful for singles where a loaf of bread takes awhile to eat. Plus, families can't afford to let bread get moldy either. We have to find ways to stretch our dollars as food prices continue to climb.
