Early bird catches the worm...

Yes, the old adage is true that the early bird catches the worm and bargains are no different. Supermarkets tend to mark items down during morning quiet times, so this is a fantastic opportunity to beat the crowds and grab yourself a deal.

This morning, my 15 month old and I headed to our local supermarket to grab some nappies - EMERGENCY! But to my surprise, after stocking up on the necessary supplies we strolled through the bakery aisle. Half price bread and baked items still fresh but at a fraction of the price. A pack of six scones baked yesterday and still fresh, marked down from $3 to 68c. Perfect for afternoon tea, or if you've got room in your freezer, to store, thaw and enjoy later.
