| Thank you Very little  |
Debate here centers on the method of tying up the loaf of store bought bread which all come with twist ties. This of course leads to conversations regarding who's method is correct and why I should be doing it her way... | ||

Do both and everyone gets a trophy. Btw, I remove mine from the bag and put it into a Tupperware container that seals relatively air tight.

Spin it and sit it. This method is superior as the twist tie method always comes partially unraveled and creates an inferior seal. That's my logic at least. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

Either way. If you then put the sealed bag in another sealed plastic bag before throwing it back in the fridge, though, it will stay noticeably fresher for longer than would be the case if you only relied on your tie-off method and the original bread bag. | |||

We do it all in our house, never any complaints as long as stuff doesn't get stale. Life's too short to worry about such things!! _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

BTW, you forgot the old bread tags…. Plastic tags with holes in them? _____________________________ Pledge allegiance or pack your bag! The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. - Margaret Thatcher Spread my work ethic, not my wealth | |||

I do both, but in a world of picking and choosing battles, if an SO/roommate wanted the bread closed a certain way I'd just do it and conserve that ammo for a different fight ________________________________________________ | |||

You have to use the twist tie. With the tuck, one bad move and things can go horribly wrong.  These go to eleven. | |||

If you're worried about it going stale, you're not eating it fast enough! Buy a smaller loaf (or cut it in half, and freeze a half). This for good bread, the non-artisan stuff, why would anyone car what you do with it? | |||

| Back, and to the left  |
A girl I once lived with (who is no longer around) once chastised me for spinning the bread. Said I was 'crushing' it. 'What a bitch, I thought and I told her she was nuts. Some years later I have to admit, she was actually right. I'd never tell her that of course.  | |||

Twist and apply a plastic clippy thing. Looks like an alligator clip but for bread bags. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I use a twist tie, AND a Ziploc bag. I hate stale bread. | |||
