- * ["Bruegger's"] is a goldmine for free ["Bagels"]. They're usually tossed in a clear twist tie sealed bag. Old bagels are worthless to sell directly, even after a few hours. You will not be finding week old product, always seeming same day finds (in the experience of the editors of this article). The clear sealed bags allow quick and easy inspection to see if anything else has been tossed in with the bagels that might contaminate them (coffee filters, empty beverages, half eaten food). Even if mixed with less than desirable refuse, you'll almost always find the majority of bagels in a bag untouched... and for those who will not except any mixing of trash products with their bagels---it isn't uncommon to find bags exclusively containing bagels. Great '''free''' way to walk home with thirty or so perfectly edible bagels.	+ * ["Bruegger's"] is a goldmine for free ["bagels"]. They're usually tossed in a clear twist tie sealed bag.

Vendors at the market often trash produce left unsold at the end of the day, produce they were only moments before selling as fresh. You'll also find better deals toward the end of the day, and reportedly you will be occasionally able to convince a vendor to allow you to walk off with what produce they're moments away from dumping.
