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.
This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.
I tuck and put in breadbox. Naked in breadbox doesnt last long and it dries out. Tuck is easy to do, to undo and gets the job done as good as anything else when combined with a breadbox.

Yes, my family uses it to store spatulas.
We got one like a year ago and I love it. Cheap plastic thing. It’s airtight. No more arguments about me not using that useless bread tie and the bread lasts longer.
At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I’m unsure.
Breadbox should be chaotic side
I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn’t “out.”
I got mine on the side of the road. Sanded it down and painted it up.
I love it. Bread goes in. Stays fresh.
I never knew that I am chaotic neutral
Guess I’m lawful neutral because I rarely lose the bag clip. I will use a clip when that happens.
Twist and tuck has never let me down
always using a bag clip. Reusing the bag clip if it needs to be eaten soon (e.g. at a party) since it’s less of a fuss to remove it.
I’ve been making my own bread for like 3 years now and I don’t really crave storebought bread at all any more. Mine is just better.
Lawful good for homemade, lawful neutral until my gf throws out the thingy and forces me to go with chaotic neutral.
What in the world is the bottle hack
Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.
Hmmmmmmmmmm microplastics in my bread
TBF those are already in there. They’re in the water supply!
Bread that’s in a plastic bag lol
I do not think you are ripping apart the plastic bag everytime. The joke is on everyone else, ours come in paper bags and you cut it with a machine.
Wouldn’t want to get those inside its plastic bag
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 am lawful neutral (use clip it came with) until about halfway through the loaf, then I become chaotic neutral (twist and tuck) at the back half.
There isn’t enough bag to properly twist and tuck until that point anyway.
I’m lawful neutral until I lose the bread clip and go chaotic neutral. Sometimes I’m lawful good the whole time, but I’ve been chaotic at the start and that’s fun!
I tie a knot AND twist and tuck. Where does that leave me?
It is inarguable that anything but twist/tuck is ok. Bread box is a whimsical idea from when material science was advanced enough to make horseshoes. Everything else either requires more plastic/steps or wrecks the bread.
There’s really no argument here.
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).
We have a bread box but keep the bread in the bag inside the box.
Better put the bread box in the cupboard, just to be on the safe side.
Might do.
