Big Lots:

Our nearest Big Lots is 20+ minutes away so we don't go there often. However, we discovered several months ago that they carry the bread we like to eat at 1/2 the price we can normally get it. We usually pay $2.49 a loaf at our local Kroger. Sometimes I can get it on sale for $2. I'm usually over by Big Lots once a month so I try to stock up on bread when I'm there.

I bought:
4 loaves Natures Own 100% Whole Wheat bread $4.80
1 Garlic Powder $1
Total OOP: $5.80

2 boxes Kellogs Mini Wheats Strawberry Delight $5.48
