Ready to Use Bread Crumbs

I have always avoided store bought packages of bread crumbs because they all seem to contain trans fats. However, I really like the idea of having ready to use bread crumbs in my pantry. A few months ago I started noticing that the ends (heels) of our bread loaves stayed in the bread wrapper long after the rest of the loaf had been eaten. One day a light bulb went off in my head. I gathered all of those rejected ends, dried them in the oven and pounded them into crumbs. (By the way, this process also works wonders on releasing pent up tension from a crazy week)

I store the crumbs in an old glass peanut butter jar and they are always ready to use. This option is healthier, less expensive and relieves stress...does it get much better?
