Oops-- I forgot to explain: places that don't sell day-old bread marked 
down, in my experience, are not baking on a daily basis for daily 
purchases, so their breads will have more preservative agents, etc. In 
my opinion, places that mark-down day old bread have better bread. (I 
also watch for manager's markdowns in produce sections-- if the manager 
has the authority to reduce for quick sale, the produce type and 
selection is often much better.)
