Money-Saving Tip: Freeze Close-dated Bread for later!!

When it comes to saving money, no amount is too small. When you find a money saving tip that works for you, run with it! All those little savings add up.

Today’s tip is to freeze bread when it’s close to it’s date to keep it fresh until you need it!

Here are some tips for freezing bread:

• Store bought bread can be frozen for 2 weeks in the wrapper from the store.  Longer freezer storage requires better wrappings and removing all the air from around the bread.
• A 1 pound loaf takes about 3 hours to thaw at room temperature.  Leave the loaf in it’s wrapper until thawed.
• You could thaw in the microwave.  I use the defrost setting for 30 seconds at a time.
• Slices can thaw in 5-10 minutes at room temperature uncovered on the counter
• Sliced bread can be toasted without thawing.
