How big is your breadbox?

How big is your breadbox?  We don’t have a breadbox, we have a bread freezer!  Spending so much time in Ukraine, Sam has grown accustomed to eating lots, and lots of bread. We blow through a loaf or two a week with just Sam, Vienna and I… it’s crazy!  I’m still adjusting to how expensive bread here is in the states.  I can’t understand why it’s so expensive… I suppose if I got the krummy foam like excuse they make for bread that they sell for .89cents but what’s the point.  Thank goodness I’ve found the Orowheat Outlet store.  Instead of paying $2.50-$3.50 for a loaf of bread I can pick them up for $1.29-$2.09 a loaf… that’s a pretty huge difference!!! 

I just went to the store yesterday after my chiropractor’s appointment (it’s near there so I don’t have to waste a trip).  I picked up  17 loaves of bread, two hoagy roll packages and package of hamburger buns that I got for free, should last us a good… oh… two months?  Ok, I’m sure it will last longer, but it feels like we blow through it that fast, and I think it’s close.  But I can pick up all that for $25, plus I get free tickets for Entamines dessert things, like cheese danish loaf, pound cake and the like… so that’s not too shabby.  Though I think most people thought I was trying to feed a family of 12 or something!

Anyway… just thought I’d share… I’m avoiding house work today

   When I grew up I discovered that bread actually could be made of something besides flour and water. I was raised on the stuff that gums to the roof of your mouth. Now we eat the middle-of-the-line good stuff. Not quite Orowheat but better than generic Wonder bread. Our “breadbox”–about a loaf a day. Lots of PB & J in our house.
