I am spoiled—never even thought of doing that.
The point is that bread has to be restocked often, is produced domestically.
Panicking over bread just makes no sense imho.
(Of course, I never understood why people bought out the bread before snowstorms, either—the last time the roads were inpassable for more than two days around here was the Great Blizzard of 1978!)
When bread is sitting on the shelf, it goes moldy in a few days so has to be restocked to avoid that.
Ours gets shelf bread frozen and when it thaws so customers don’t know, it goes on the shelf. Yes, that’s straight from the meat dept. gal.
