Frugal Entenmanns Baked Goods

If you live in Woodside or Elmhurst neighborhoods in Queens, and you want to save a few dollars on bread and other baked goods, you will find this post very helpful. Even if you don't live in the area, if you drive by Queens Blvd and 72nd Street, you can take advantage of the savings you can get from the Entenmanns Bakery Outlet.

I remember going to a Hostess bakery outlet years ago, in Woodside Queens, but it has since closed. I used to buy twinkies and other Hostess snack cakes from there. What can I say, I had a sweet tooth as a teenager, and to an extent I still do. So after I discovered the Entenmanns outlet, I've been meaning to drop by and see what kind of deals they had. That was about 2 years ago, and I finally had a chance to visit and buy something recently.

So what kind of deals can you find there? On my visit, I noticed they had a deal on bread loaves, three loaves for three dollars. It's $1.50 each loaf but buying more saves you more. I ended up purchasing three boxes of donuts and cakes. My daughter wanted the doughnuts and my wife wanted the cake. OK, I also wanted the donuts! We bought three boxes for five dollars. Retail price for each ranges around $4.89 to $5.49 each box, so I did save a good deal of change! I noticed a good number of customers coming in and out while we were there.

So what's the catch you ask? They usually expire within a week, in my case they expire in about 3 days. But as most people know, those expiration dates are usually sell by dates, so the goods are still "good" for several days after expiration. So if you eat a lot of bread or just feel like some Entenmanns baked goods like I did, drop by and save a few bucks! Your wallet will thank you. But your waist line probably won't!
