Fans of baked goods – run don’t walk to your nearest Entenmann’s Oroweat Bakery Outlet (there are seven in the Denver metro area under the name Mrs. Baird’s, Oroweat or Entenmann’s). Owned by Bimbo (which bought out Mrs. Baird’s), the stores sell Oroweat, Entenmann’s, Sara Lee, Boboli, Thomas English muffins and more. Most days you’ll find a BOGO deal. Everything is sold below grocery store prices and nothing is more than three days old (after that the goods are donated to local food banks). Fresh items are marked down 20%, day-old items even more. Buy $8 worth of merchandise and get a FREE item. Plus, every shopper gets a Bakery Outlet Card. Fill your card (essentially spend $40) and receive two FREE loaves of bread of manager’s choice or other freebies. Note: Everything freezes quite nicely, typically up to three months.
