My volunteering has been impeding my chance to make the pickup window for the local bagelry selling their bagels cheaply that are leftover at the end of the day. As I'm getting better at the jobs though, now I'm finishing closer to on time and had a chance to grab some.

Normally the deal is $5.99 for a mystery bag, which will typically have 18 bagels made that morning and I freeze them and eat them for breakfast with some homemade honey walnut cream cheese. Tariffs or something have bumped it up a buck since last I purchased, but it is what it is.

I had no service at the clinic, so I couldn't see if they were even open with the holiday, but at the end of my shift, I saw I had more than enough time to get there. I debated grabbing 2 bags since I've had a hard time getting there and have been paying full price for lesser bagels from the grocery. Didn't know what flavors I'd get, I don't like all of them, so I opted for a single. That's still like 3 weeks of breakfast and I just have a small freezer.

Got there a half hour before pickup but was hungry from work, so I thought I'd grab a bite to eat, but I saw they were closing right then! Didn't score a breakfast sando like I had wanted, but they gave me the biggest sack I'd ever gotten—thought it was gonna tear through the bottom of the bag!

They offered me another bag, but I didn't know if I had room for all these as it was.

Hopped in the car and hit up the market to grab stuff for the 3 last minute things I got invited to yesterday and today, and snacked on a fresh bagel on the way there. Guess I still got my sandwich, it was just plain instead of pork roll, egg, and cheese.

Got home and sorted out my haul, and I had a grand total of 47 bagels! My cyphering tells me that's less than 15 cents a bagel!

Sorted then evenly into a bunch of ziplocks and hit em with the vacuum sealer to get some of the air out, and I finagled the stuff in the freezer to get them all in there. I'm sitting pretty for quite a while! Not the hugest variety, and none of the seedy ones I like best, but not bad flavors.

I can tell you the app for the discount stuff if anyone wants it. I didn't want to just come out with this and make it look spammy or something. I heard about it on How I Built This with Guy Raz. It's a European company, so not a US only thing. It's kinda hit or miss where I am in the far 'burbs, but if you're in a major city there can be a good variety of businesses hooked up with it. Lemme know.

Hope this was properly dull, I don't follow this community often, but I was proud of this score and felt like sharing it!
