As far as bargains go, there is a shelf of crystallized honey sold on discount. Crystallized honey is opaque rather than clear, but this is easily remedied by melting it over low heat. An 8-ounce bear-shaped bottle, regularly $2, is discounted to $1.60. In comparison, an 8-ounce jar of Miller's honey in Salt Lake supermarkets sells for around $3, and generic brands are $2.39. A notice on the door lists bulk honey specials: three 7-pound pails for $37.50, a 12-pound bucket for $22.80 and 60 pounds for $104.

Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread

About 800 to 1,600 loaves are baked here daily, using organic flour and natural "starters" instead of commercial yeast. In Salt Lake City, the bread is found in upscale restaurants, farmer's markets and specialty shops, such as Wild Oats and Caputo's. (You can also find it in Logan supermarkets.)

If you're used to Wonder or Sara Lee, you may find this bread a tad crusty, chewy and pricey. But it's carb heaven for those who love European-style baguettes, ciabatta, pumpernickel and so on.

Fun food find: Daily signature breads are $4 a loaf: Monday and Tuesday it's a caramelized onion with asiago cheese; Wednesday and Thursday, polenta jack; and Friday and Saturday, Kalamata olive in sourdough.

You won't find bargain "day-old" bread here. Sales manager Dave Oblock said the company is strong on the old-world philosophy of fresh bread bought daily. Also, since the bread contains no preservatives, it has a short shelf life.

But there appears to be a price break: The Decker Five-Seed loaf I bought for $4 at the bakery sells for $4.79 at Wild Oats in Salt Lake City. The loaf's thick crust (as well as the chewy interior) is studded with pumpkin, poppy, sunflower, and light and dark sesame seeds. The clerk at the counter gave me a slice of fragrant walnut-raisin-cinnamon bread for the road. The shop has tables both indoors and on the patio, where customers can enjoy a slice of quiche, a croissant or sandwich. Hurry, though, this place closes at 1 p.m.

Aggie Ice Cream

Utah State University students are well aware of the dairy-sciences building on campus. On a summer weekday, there was a long line to buy cones, shakes and sundaes from the approximately 28 flavors offered. There are a few tables and chairs to cool your heels while enjoying the creamy confections.

Fun food find: Aggie Blue Mix, which is mint-flavored ice cream mixed with Oreos and white chocolate.

A single-scoop cone is $1.70; a half-gallon of ice cream is $5.25. In the supermarket, a half-gallon of Dreyer's is around $5 and Snelgrove, $5.95.

Bluebird Candy Factory

There are actually two "Bluebirds" in Logan that sell chocolates. The Bluebird Cafe on Main Street sells candy made by the local Alvey's Candies, although the gift boxes say "The Bluebird Song's Candy." Bluebird Candy is a separate company, and it's around the corner on Center Street.
