Spotlight on Savings: Flowers Discount Bakery Store
UPDATE: (June 2009): A reader has informed me that they are no longer doing this deal, but I have not yet confirmed it for myself.
Flowers Discount Bakery Store sells “day old” bread for $3 and $5 a cart (supposedly divided by the amount of bread in the cart)! We estimated that at a low cost, it would be at least $100 worth of bread. The bakery mentioned that the bread truck comes every day except Wednesday. The types of bread will vary from day to day, but I have gotten some very nice bread, bagels, and buns this way. You will not see the carts when you go into the store, so you will need to ask for them. (Unless you have a lot of freezer space (and even if you do), you will definitely want to split a cart with someone!)
Directions:
8110 White Horse Rd, Greenville, SC 29617
(864) 246-1380
Going from the downtown Greenville area, take Cedar Lane/183 towards Pickens until it intersects with 25 (White Horse Road), and take a right. Continue past the Hamricks/Save-More shopping area and it is on the right.

You can also buy day old Pepperidge Farm bread at the flea market in Pickens for $1. BTW, I bought the $5 bread cart last week. Oh my gosh, I have never had so much bread. My freezer is full, I shared with my mom, and I sent a box of bread to my husband’s job to give away. We also have tons lying in the garage to feed the ducks. Thanks for the tips. Love your new blog.
