Buying in bulk
The last time we went to Costco, I wanted to go down the baking/spice aisle. I didn't have delusions of buying 50 lbs of flour, but I was curious to see if I could find something that I could use for bread baking in reasonable quantities.
Score!
Buying in bulk
On the right, a 4 oz jar of active dry yeast that I bought at the grocery store on sale for $6.99, regular price $8.99. It lasted about 6 weeks.
On the left, a 2 lb brick of active dry yeast for less than $4. If I bought 2 lbs of the jars of yeast on sale, that would be $56. $56!!
Apparently you can freeze yeast and it lasts a long time--but even if I only used 4 oz of it, it would still be less than half the retail price of the jar of yeast.
I sure hope I like Red Star as much as I like Fleischmann's. I'll know soon enough.
