spin the bread so that the excess bag is twisted up, then fold underneath. upon next visit, if furry then toss.

In the fridge. It doesn't really help with staleness, but it helps stave off mold.

A loaf of bread is 99 cents, so I just buy a fresh loaf every week and don't worry about long-term storage.

Fridge takes all the moisture out, so I don't do that. I twist the bag to make sure no air gets in and fold the twisted part underneath when I set the bread down. Usually, bread stays on top of the refrigerator.

Freezer for several weeks of reserve bread. Defrosted on the counter in its bread bag when being eaten.

This.

At Sam's Club, you basically buy two loaves for the price of one. One on the counter, the other in the freezer.. when counter loaf is gone, freezer loaf comes out.. when last counter loaf is gone, buy two more loaves.

You buy truly crappy bread. You lose.

Seriously! You lose at life and being Zaphod's psychologist. Good bread is a good life.

This is the right answer:
eat it...why would you want to leave any?
/loves (and makes) good bread
And as long as the bread is not 50p a loaf:
in my belly.

Thawed out bread tastes awful.

Que?

I've never noticed a difference in taste, and I would notice something like that. I'm picky about my bread.

Then again, I keep an impeccably clean fridge/freezer. No odors to soak up in my ice box.

I've noticed the bread is not nearly as soft and looses a little flavor when it's thawed out, that's my main gripe. I like my bread very fresh.

fridge and freezer should not be combined in the poal. fridge accelerates bread being ruined, while bread freezes just fine.
