[flash]

I often buy at the Pepperidge Farm or Hostess outlets. Another thing local bakeries do is either have a "closeout" at the end of the day (great in grad school, when we were out at 11 pm anyway). Our local bakery also has day old sales -- Donuts are 50 cents to a dollar each fresh, but the day old are five dozen for $5. I've purchased and frozen, brought them in to work, etc. They aren't as fresh, though.

My DH and I work out 4 - 5 hours a day, and protein and fresh veggies are the main event. I buy sales, and look for every discount. I also keep a large pantry and freezer stocked with sales and basics. Stockpiling a sale of things we would buy anyway (key point) is one of the best ways to save money. Buying stuff we wouldn't normally buy just because it's on sale is usually a waste for us.
