When refrigerated the bread lasts in the fridge for 5 to 7 days after expiration.

Although bread can become stale in the refrigerator but it's still safe to eat.

Bread does last longer if you put it in the refrigerator.

However by last longer this means that the bread does not mold as quick in the refrigerator but the bread does actually go stale much quicker in the refrigerator.

So it's not really a good idea to keep bread in the refrigerator.

It's best to avoid refrigerating bread as the refrigerator makes the bread go stale quicker.

You should not refrigerate bread as refrigerating bread makes the bread go stale faster.

Bread is best kept on the counter or in the pantry.

Bread Typically last about 7 days in the pantry although sometimes the bread may last a bit longer.

Bread goes bad quicker in damp locations.

Store bought bread has a shelf life of about 7 days in the pantry before it goes bad.

So it's best to eat the bread within 7 days and only buy enough bread that you can reasonably eat within 7 days.

Keep the bread stored in a cool dark place to help keep the bread from going bad and keep the bread sealed in the plastic bags they come in to prevent the bread from drying out.

It's also best to never refrigerate the bread as it can actually make the bread not last as long as it can cause the bread to dry out or become more soggy.

I always just keep the bread in the pantry and eat the bread within the 7 days and most times the bread I have is eaten well before 7 days so it's not usually a problem.

I only buy enough bread that I know we're gonna eat within that time and not buy too much.

Then I buy more bread when needed.
