    You obviously never lived by yourself. A full loaf of bread for a single person can take a while to eat unless you eat nothing but sandwiches breakfast, lunch and dinner.

      I have been living alone for years, I buy a baguette in the morning and it last the day, or maybe the next day, never longer. Though in France we eat bread almost at every meal. But even If I ate less of it, there are smaller breads available, just need to scale the quantity you buy based on the quantity you eat.

      I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m not judging people who buy large quantity and freeze or refrigerate it, everyone does what they want, I was simply surprised to see so many comments of people having mold on the bread.

        I can very rarely get mould on bread. Buuuut, I tend to buy 2 loaves of cheap bread that sit in a bread bin. Maybe if i have been out on the bike a lot and have not had lunch at home for a few days, do I maybe see the some mould near the end of the 2nd loaf.

        But like you say, living by myself, I have found that 2 loaves pretty much perfectly align with when I do shopping, and very rarely do I throw out bread from mould.
