    I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something

        I have a queue: one loaf at the front gets stored on the counter, the next two loaves are in the fridge (generally replenished from the store, so most bread goes through my place unfrozen), then any others in the freezer.

        I toast most bread I eat and find the difference between kept in fridge and not is unnoticeable.

        I do similar with hot dog and hamburger buns, though they don’t have a counter space due to being used less frequently.

        Haven’t had to throw out moldy bread nearly as much since I started doing that.

      Then you are just doing it wrong. Bread goes stale faster in the fridge due to easier crystallization

    I feel like this alignment chart doesn’t consider how evil you could get. Leaving the bag open seems pretty tame for CE. I suggest the following:

    • Lawful Good: bread box w/ the bag
    • Neutral Good: bag clip
    • Chaotic Good: twist and tuck
    • Lawful Neutral: bread box w/o the bag
    • True Neutral: original bread clip
    • Chaotic Neutral: twist or tuck, not both
    • Lawful Evil: bag is tied shut
    • Neutral Evil: bag is left open
    • Chaotic Evil: bag is torn open in the middle

    I’m just saying twist and tuck is the best because it seals well enough and it’s fast and requires no additional equipment. If you have a breadbox that’s peak convenience, but I’ve only seen one family that had one ever, and they had the counter space for it.

      Also worth noting: a bread box generally isn’t sealed that well, I would still recommend keeping the bread in a bag (depending on what type it is and how quickly you plan to eat it).

    Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.

    Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.

    I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn’t matter.
    I guess it means I’m in Pathfinder universe or something
