Only if you put loose bread, which only psychopaths do. Everyone else keeps bread in the bag they bought it in.

You are ignorant. This is completely false. Delete this nonsense.

Refrigerating bread forms crystals which makes it hard and unpalatable

Same with freezing it

> I said, “fine I’ll pay $1 a month for 3,500 years” frustratingly

haha! that's clever, hopefully i won't have to go there lol

One time e got a bill from quest diagnostics for like $3,500 because something wasn’t covered and blah blah they wouldn’t budge.

I called customer service and was ripping them about how ridiculous it was and there’s no way it cost that much to run a test and they wouldn’t budge and I finally just threw my hands up and said “well I can’t pay it” and they said “ok well we can put you on a payment plan.”

I said, “fine I’ll pay $1 a month for 3,500 years” frustratingly, and the girl on the other end of the phone said “well we have to do at least $5”. So I paid $5 a month for like 4 years until eventually quest just canceled the debt

We buy flat round asian bread ('lepeshka') and keep them in a freezer. You may take it out half an hour before dinner or microwave a minute - it's always fresh and tasty.

Not in my fridge. Always clean spills and water immediately to prevent mold from growing.

LPT: Get out as much air as possible every time you close the bag. My bread stays fresh and soft for over a month in the fridge.

appreciate it!

Yes, details report, just ask and you can get a date and time of that $10 Tylenol pill they are charging you for and everything else. Been there, done that including calling them and negotiating (calmly)

thanks! looks like i'll contact the hospital and not the insurance

thanks! sounds like i should ask the hospital for this and not the insurance

An itemized bill would list the doctors fees and the fees/cost for their procedures (e.g ultrasound, stethoscope survey of chest, consultation) as well as cost of items(syringes, x ray photo platters poor data carriers, disinfectant, OP gown, tubes, non-reusable items) in complete detail.

This makes it less easy to bill you a 10 cent plastic piece for 100$, which they could hide else e.g. under hospital infees.

A itemised bill will be a break down of the cost of everything in detail. Like say you had surgery in will say the cost of anaestheic, post op care, food you ate etc.

The bill already says something like

hospital fee ........... $XXXXXX
physician fee .......... $XXXXXX

is this considered "itemized"? We already contacted the hospital billing dept(didn't mention the part about itemized bills, only asked if we can bring the bill down and they said to contact insurance lol) is it time to contact the hospital again to ask for "itemized bill" or it's time to contact the insurance?

thanks

A lot of replies here mention how if you keep the bread sealed it does not dry out. This is true and the more optimally you seal it in the faster you freeze it the better results you get. But in practicality you will still usually find that the moisture consolidates in the form of ice on the outside or one end of the bread, leaving the rest dry. Unless it is extremely still isn't the end of the world.

I typically keep English muffins in the freezer. Before I toast them, I put them on a plate covered loosely by a slightly moistened paper towel in a microwave it for about 15 seconds. It's almost as good as new and ready to toast.

If you don't want it to go stale you should freeze it, not put it in the fridge

Weve always (me or my family) kept our bread either in the fridge (if its going to be used withing 2-3 days) or the freezer for long time storage. Leaving it in the pantry will always get mold on it within a day or two specially if the weather is warm.

>Try half a loaf on the counter, half in fridge, and taste taste day 3.

This will show you...

Between being single for way too long and the pandemic making it more dangerous to shop, bread ain't even the half of it. My freezer has more food in it than my fridge does. Put milk in Mason jars too. Individually wrap your Steaks when you buy a pack of more than 3 of them, and take them out as needed.

Texture goes way off. Yea will last longer, but not good texture.

Try half a loaf on the counter, half in fridge, and taste taste day 3.

It is a good thing nothing ever goes moldy in the fridge.

Maybe, but you can eat stale bread. You can't eat moldy bread.
