Realizing that you can put bread in the freezer changed my life - well, at least my bread buying habits ;-)

Based on this: > *Available in: Bengaluru, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Pune I’d begin by guessing that half loaves of bread are much more common in India than the US.
They've become more popular in Australia recently as well, I've noticed. They had a two for one sale of half breads at one point, I was like "what is the point.."
In NL every supermarket, baker or other place where you can buy bread will be more than happy to sell you half loaves, to the point that plenty of them have them pre-sliced and packaged ready to go.
Yep, i also don't quite understand what needs to be solved here. I just ask the cashier in the bakery for a half or quarter loaf. Or grab a pre-cut half/quarter one in the supermarket. There are plenty of options (types of bread, sourdough or not, based on different grains, etc) over here in germany.

Pff, wait til you discover you can freeze also sausages and butter without losing any quality, which sadly can't be said about bread, defrosted bread tastes pretty bad, which is why I don't freeze it. I mean if I would be that desperate or lazy that I wouldn't want to go to small convenience store right under my building to buy half loaf, I have always at home enough flour and it would make more sense to keep dry yea…
My mom freezes everything to save money, and there is an element of emancipation for me to be able to not do that, but generally speaking I just find it a destructive practice from a flavour perspective.

And stale or moldy bread, my alternative, is very easy to notice.
This product is so hyper focused! I love it.

It really is a game changer. Even just putting it in the fridge prolongs its shelf life. Just make sure to keep the bag sealed with a twist tie, to keep the bread from drying out. I also save the heels until last, as well. They make good end caps while you're finishing the rest of the loaf.

My wife does this. The only complaint I have is that when there isn't space, she forces it in anyway and then you end up with mangled, frozen slices that don't fit in the toaster.
If you have the space, a second deep freeze is a game changer. You can often find them for cheap or even free, the ones from the 90s seem to last forever.

Does anyone actually eat the heels?
Fascinating just to see the prices of bread in another country. In the Mumbai area, it looks like a half loaf costs between 17 and 75 INR -- with most around 22 INR, or 30 cents US. Here in Toronto, we often pay $4 to $5 (USD) for a decent loaf of sandwich bread. The difference is pretty striking.
I’ve seen the bread in most Asian countries. You get what you pay for. Only premium bread may be worth it, and still not on pair with cheap basic European bread.
