When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest? So, you "squeeze" for freshness or softness or you check the pricing.

Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday,Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I was also told that each day has a different color twist tie. eek They are:

Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow

So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie - not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)!

The colors go alphabetically by color (easy to remember) Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow,
Monday thru Saturday.

I thought this was an interesting idea. So, I started to look in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips are color coded. Check with your grocer to see if the code is the same as above!!!

You learn something new everyday!!! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread, choose the color for the day you are shopping.
