It reminds me of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". The part where Francie goes to buy the week's supply of stale bread, and all the things Katie makes from it.
We have a local bakery that has outlet sales on Fridays, and their bread is so frigging good. Then again, they make lots of grainy things, I have a chest freezer, and the place is full of hippie-types, rather than sanitarium-dwellers.
Yeah, there's a couple Merita outlets around here (or were at one time). For most breads kept sealed up there's little difference if it's day-old, especially now. I guess then you'd still buy fresh bread daily and it didn't keep as well.
