I refrigerate bread. It's much better and more effective than a bread box. My parents did not refrigerate bread because they live in a different part of the country where it would not mold over as quickly.

Refrigeration slows down development of molds, but at the same time expedites starch retrogradation, leading to the bread going stale quicker.

Rather have slightly stale bread then molded bread 🤷♂️
Can't even tell its stale when you toast it a little and make a sandwich or something with it.

Didn't know this. Makes sense now why the bread is so much not crumbly. We don't eat out bread quickly enough and with the humidity where I am in Aus it just started making sense to refrigerate.

I honestly freeze almost all my bread. I don't go through a loaf nearly fast enough to finish it off before the remaining slices start going fuzzy.
In the freezer I can take out slices as and when needed.
But if my tiny freezer box is full, the fridge will also buy me several days.
