    Bread outside the fridge spoils fast. Bread in the fridge lasts longer but is less fluffy. In this household we refrigerate our bread and then toast it lightly if we’re going to eat it straight. Most of the sandwiches I make are toasted anyway.

      My parents used to keep bread in the fridge and I hated it. It always sapped the moisture from the edges and made it stale. I don’t know what kind of bread you buy, but mine stays fresh for a very long time on the counter.

      Imo, freezing bread is the better option if you want to preserve it for long periods.

      In my household, all toast goes into the freezer the second it gets home. The toaster brings it back to life.

        It was a particular issue when we were getting fresh bake from the local Nugget. It didn’t have preservatives so it was stale after a day or so. At the time we got small quantities and enjoyed it for the day or two after shopping. But we also have other bread used as a stable, say, for sandwiches or morning toast.

        Now we live away from Nugget, but still occasionally get fancy bread.

      This man breads. (So do I)

      I don’t always want bread when I buy it. But on the top shelf, unopened, and partially frozen, it doesn’t have mold!

      After it’s open it doesn’t last much more than another week…
