Study the routine of your in-house bakery staff to learn when the in-store baked goods, especially breads, are marked down & placed on the clearance cart. This is generally located right in the bakery department - no need to shop at the clearance table next to the restrooms!
Be there first to buy items which are really fresh, just dated and store them at home in the fridge. You can realize savings of 50% a loaf.
Toast the bread or warm for a few seconds in the microwave and stretch those precious dollars.
