I haven't seen it in my area. I very rarely eat bread, but now and then I just want a couple slices.

Freeze it. I grew up upper middle class, so the idea of freezing bread was mildly repugnant. Now I'm poor as fuck, and I can promise it doesn't make the slightest difference. Thaws quickly too.

I got a standup freezer and it saves me so much money in wasted food and store trips. I buy like six loafs of bread at a time, split them up and freeze them. I just put a loaf in my kitchen cabinet before bed if I use the last slice of bread that day. Maybe my taste buds aren’t refined but I can’t tell the difference. I buy a lot of sliced turkey when it’s on sale also and just put them in the freezer. If I use it up I put another bag in the fridge and it’s ready the next day and tastes completely normal. I ended up getting a really nice chamber vacuum sealer from money I saved in groceries a couple months after the freeze paid for itself. Ended up getting a Sam’s membership and do the same with steak, hamburger, and all kinds of stuff really. It’s just me and my two boys full time but I cut my grocery bill from $1k+ a month to $600-$700 a month, making breakfast and dinner every day (they eat lunch at school). I know not everyone has the space and deep freezers are more efficient. I use the standup freezer daily and I always dreaded digging in the deep freeze I had before. It’s been a huge life improvement for us.
