Is There a Crisis in Bakeries? Day-Old Pastries Now on Discount

[Astrid]

It seems that now bakeries, in order to avoid losses, are selling day-old pastries with up to a 50% discount. It's pretty clear that prices have risen so much that they’re not selling enough, and they’ve found this way to avoid losing money. By doing this, they’re trying to boost consumption. This phenomenon is especially common in the suburbs, where bakeries offer discounts on day-old pastries. Seems like a pretty smart move, don’t you think?

Honestly, I think it’s a smart move. If the pastries are still good, why not take advantage? With prices going up so much, it makes sense that people aren’t buying like they used to. This way, it helps both the bakeries and the locals. Hopefully more places start doing this instead of just tossing out food. Smart and necessary!

With the crisis, you don't see traditional stuff like cakes or chocolates in bakeries as much anymore, they’re almost a luxury now! To keep up, some bakeries have started offering more variety, like empanadas, tarts, or even added cafes to attract more customers. Even though they’re trying to adapt, the prices of basics like flour and eggs keep going up, and that’s still affecting their profits. It's pretty impressive how bakers are finding ways to survive and keep offering something good, especially in the suburbs, where you’re seeing this trend more.

The problem is some sell day old bread the next day too! It happened to me. They get more desperate. Instead they should lower the price to sell more!
