I will be the first to admit that the bagels available for sale in the bakery (usually in bins) are tasty. They are usually soft and large in size. The only problem is their cost, as they can get pretty expensive.

If you or someone in your family enjoys having a bagel for breakfast in the morning, I recommend visiting the frozen food section. The store brand, as well as Lenders, is usually available for $1 a package or even less.

Since you may not want to give up quality for taste (at least everyday), consider mixing it up a bit. One week you can purchase bagels from the bakery and the next buy the cheaper frozen bagels.

This approach allows you to still save a little bit of money, while still being able to occasionally enjoy the products you love.
