We found some excellent whole wheat bread that sells for about $3.50 at
Costco. It's over $5.00 elsewhere. The loaves are smaller than a cheap
bread loaf but it is fine for us when there are just two of us in the house.
We don't always finish the loaf so I freeze the extra and make stuffing with
it about once a month. But now that my husband is home we go through two
loaves in a week, easily. He is a big sandwich eater. Daughter and I are
not.
