It tends to be a bit of an upscale market, which scares the thrifty away. But I did notice a few weeks ago, the scratch and dent bin went from 33% off to 50% off.

I make a whole big fat pot, have leftovers for lunch and future dinners for pretty darned cheap.
A friend also sent me a sourdough starter, it's like a miracle grow food!
