That may be true, but in my experience it takes longer to go stale in the refrigerator than it does for it to mold outside the refrigerator. So I store my bread in the fridge and everything is fine.

I've never stored my bread outside the bag in something like a breadbox though, so maybe that would make it last longer. I've never had my bread go stale in the fridge before I finished it, so I'm not too worried about changing my habits.
