Keep sliced bread in its plastic bag in the freezer - will last for 3 months and makes great toast if the popup toaster is set just right for it - has to run longer of course. Some toasters now are made with a special 'frozen bread' button to get the extra time without adjusting your normal setting. If I buy bread at the (Coles/Woolies/ big chains) I pay nearly twice the price I can buy the same brand I can get elsewhere - so I buy a few loaves at once of the whole grain type.

From time to time, I put a couple of slices in a plastic container in the fridge to thaw overnight so I can make a Jaffle, which can be made with the frozen stuff, but is easier to do with thawed.
