I received an email from our reader, Momma Bear, telling me about a great sale running at the local Oroweat Bread Outlet -- loaves of bread were just 50¢! I knew that fantastic sales like this don't last, so I ran out last night. Sure enough, there was a modestly sized display of bread priced at 50¢ and the 100% Whole Wheat variety was included! I don't know what made these loaves warrant such a low price, but I've never been disappointed by bakery outlet bread. The Oroweat Outlet doesn't typically have 50¢ loaves available, but they always have a nice selection of $1 loaves and most of the time I can find the specific varieties my family eats. Keep Reading

What’s for dinner? This week’s reader (whole ham & leftovers) menu plan (2/24)
Menu Plan by FLNW reader Ruth My father trained race horses and was usually at the track by 5 a.m. Our main meal was at lunch most days but we also ate breakfast foods for any of our meals. He liked meat and potatoes. Most of the meat dishes in my week are from childhood meals. In between I have lighter, more modern selections. Here's what's for dinner at my house this week: Monday -- Baked Ham: Choose a cheap one that is not pre-sliced and then score the tough rind with a sharp knife, down to the meat. Put 2 T mustard in a bowl and stir in as much brown sugar as you can. Slather this on the ham and bake according to instructions. Save Keep Reading
