No matter which store you shop at these days, food prices will cause your eyebrows to raise. But some stores are bucking that trend and making money because of it at the food thrift stores. You can't buy all your groceries there, but you can buy something and a penny saved is a penny earned. Thursday we stopped by Mr. Bread Bakery Outlet where they mostly supply bread to restaurants. But the bread that they don't sell goes to the thrift shop in Flint near the corner of Dort and Davison roads. They sell to the public and you can get really good deals. Story continues belowAdvertisement "This section here is all fresh bread," said Mr. Bread's David Hartley. "We sell it for half the price and we sell it every day. It's fresh. We get it in every night and put it on the shelf every day." They have different varieties of bread and other products to like cookies and things. There's one wall where you can get six items like buns and sliced bread for $3. As you can imagine, business is up over last year because people are looking to save money wherever they can, so they're stopping by the thrift stores." There are also 3 thrift stores (Vincent Depaul, Savation Army and Goodwill) in my area and many good restaurants on Davison rd. (Luigi's, middle Eastern food and great tacos at the Mexican restaurant) We'd probably have some professional garage sale businesses/jobs in my neighborhood as well where people could save money but Flint has a ban on those.

Pushing buttons sure can be fun. When a lion wants to go somewhere, he doesn’t worry about how many hyenas are in the way. Paddle faster, I hear banjos.
