I do what lodgelocum suggested - freeze it and just take out what I want when I need it.

In summer my expensive freya's goes mouldy very quickly if left out. So I put it in the fridge, lasts way longer.

Why not!I buy 4 loaves a week on a Friday.They go straight into the freezer and we remove just what we're going to use.When the weather is humid it sweats if left in the bag in the warm kitchen so it goes mouldy.I'm not going to spend over $4 on a loaf (we buy Ploughmans or Freyas) and have to throw it out for the birds after a day or so.

Yes me too sarahb5 - I buy Ploughmans and just get it out by the slice (or two).

It's best to freeze it. if it's just put in the fridge, the bread yeast keeps working and it will develope mould, especially with the current humidity. frozen will stophis and the bread is usable for much longer.

I buy several loaves at a time, and freeze the lot, but I do take out a whole loaf and keep it in the bread bin.In the past when I've had trouble with bread going mouldy after a couple of days (it's usually when the weather is very humid) it's because it was close to it's best before date when purchased.I always look for bread that has about five days to go before it's "best before date", so try to go to the shop just after they have a delivery, as they do tend to put the fresh stuff at the front, and the stuff left over from yesterday eventually gets to the front when the fresh stuff has sold out.Sometimes there are loaves there with 3 or 4 different dates on them.

We usually get 10 - 12 loaves a week and it goes straight in the freezer, get a loaf out when needed. Do the same with the milk 6 x 3L/week and straight in the freezer, take out when needed

I too freeze my bread and just take out when needed.I also make up my own milk with milk powder which works out a lot cheaper (about $0.90 per litre) and it tastes just like bought milk - no difference whatsoever.

Really - which brand of milk powder do you use!I'm all for saving money on groceries and anything I can do to cut down the grocery bill would be a help.

I use anchor milk power - trim.I use 3/4 c of milk powder to 1 litre of water - honestly you can't tell the difference either with cereal or in tea/coffee or baking.There are a lot of different brands - think they are sold in the tea/coffee isle of supermarket.

I use Countdown's Home Brand (red and white packet) - 1kg of skim milk powder for under ten dollars.

I always used to buy Meadowfresh Calci-trim, but have switched to the 1 litre sachets of trim milk.It's not got added calcium though, which I suspect my old bones should have.

I keep my bread in the fridge, freezer if I have extra.

Yeah we freeze our milk as well - buy 12 litres on a Friday, freeze the lot and usually have to buy more during the week as well but the freezer's not big enough to hold more than that
