I'll follow this up with a recommendation to buy your bread and freeze it. We never go through a loaf or a pack of buns before it starts to go bad. Just grab a few right out of the freezer and pop it in the toaster. Comes out great. Will eventually get freezer burn and have soft spots, but we can usually work through a pack before then.
We put our bread in Ziploc bags (which we reuse) and then into the fridge. A loaf will last at least a month in there. Then it's easier to eat since you don't need to toast it as long
I freeze bread. I go through loafs too slowly otherwise, and they go bad.
Note: If you REFRIGERATE bread, it'll go dry and stale. You actually have to freeze it. I'm sure there's some sort of bread science behind "why", I just don't know what it is.
