Cache in on fabulous and frugal factory finds
There were two big "deep" freezers, the first piled with individual Creamies "seconds," for 15 cents each. In supermarkets, a six-pack box of Creamies is around $2.59. The second freezer contained 3-gallon tubs of ice cream for $10.
Pepperidge Farm Outlet Store
The thrift store is north of the company's administration entrance. Near the cash register there are free samples of broken cookies and Goldfish crackers.
Several rows of shelves were stocked with Goldfish crackers (40 cents for a 2-ounce carton), and 6-ounce packages of cookies, such as Milano Mint and Chantilly, for $1.25 each. In grocery stores, these packages of cookies are around $3. Big plastic bags of mixed cookies, some broken, are $1.75 each.
In the freezer case against the wall, 16-ounce Pepperidge Farm pot pies are $2.59; tubs of vegetable and Italian lasagna are $6.60 each; and Dessert Classic cakes, $3.59 each.
Casper's Ice Cream
Casper's is a couple miles northwest of the Pepperidge Farm plant (look for the Casper's Malt Shoppe sign). This is home to the square, squat FatBoy ice cream sandwich and nut sundae-on-a-stick.
The store also offers shakes, malts and sundaes with comfortable-looking booths and tables to rest at after a long day of bargain-hopping. There's also a drive-through window. Individual FatBoy sandwiches are 49 cents, and a box of 12 is $4.52. Grocery-store prices are around $6.99 for a 12-pack. According to the sales clerk, "seconds" must be bought in boxes of 50 ($11.26 for a box of 50).
Other notable purveyors
