I realized today that I’ve been wasting tons of money on bread.

If you’re not aware already, Jimmy John’s sells one-day-old bread for less than a dollar (I remember it being around 49 cents back at home, and it’s 50 cents in Madison). This is the full-sized 16-inch bread, not the 8-inch pieces they use for regular sandwiches.

If you go to a grocery store around here, buying a loaf of bread costs about $3 or so. That means that for the price of one loaf of bread, I can get 6 massive sticks of bread from Jimmy John’s.

Now you might be saying that the one-day-old bread from Jimmy John’s isn’t fresh.

Which, in that case, you would be correct. But once you buy your loaf of bread, you’re not going to finish all of that in a single day, and it will sit on your counter for however long it will take for you to finish it. On top of that, it has most likely been sitting on the store shelf for more than one day anyway to begin with. So basically, a loaf of bread is much less fresh than one-day-old bread.

So yeah. I’m never buying loafed bread ever again, and whenever I want bread, I’m walking to Jimmy John’s (which is just across the street).

No, this isn’t a sponsorship, I’m just really glad that I remembered Jimmy John’s had one-day-old bread.
