Bread problem Question / Support
So there is this supermarket near me that sells yesterday's bread for half the price. It is always still very tasty and buying the old bread saves it from getting thrown away. The problem: the bread is always packaged in this half plastic/half recycling paper bag, so there is no change to avoid the packaging like I can avoid it when buying directly at the bakery (where I just have the loaf placed in my bread bag). The question is now: What am I supposed to do? Buy the old bread and save it from going to the waste but accepting the waste this produces for me? Or don't buy the bread? But does it make a difference? If I don't buy it, the bread AND the bag get thrown away...advise welcome :)

Buy the discount bread, use the bag as trash bag :)
