Mine too. But it depends on what kind of bread. The commercial
packaged breads contain spoilage retardants so they keep well, but
unpackaaged bakery breads like French, ryes, rolls, etc. go stale
quickly. Whole wheat keeps a bit longer as it contains more oil. I
freeze and refrigerate bread to thaw, a loaf lasts me about a week.
