I only wish I could buy half loaves of the breads I like.
I can't get through a whole loaf alone to save my life unless I eat the same thing for 3 meals a day and I'd prefer not to.
I had enough nice bread go bad to come up with a strategy.
Freeze half the loaf if you can. With a Toaster you can defreeze and toast at the same time. For my toaster i vary between full blast for whole grain like spelt or rye and mid/high for softer types like multigrain with more wheat, may even go lower on those soulless wheat loafs that don't taste like anything except empty calories. Leave the rest out and it will be ready to eat the other day or next meal. I mean, the bread is stale by day 2-3 anyway so toasting it is kind of a no brainer for me.
Buy the loaf, slice it, freeze the excess. Take out only what you need. You can microwave it to unfreeze it quickly (but it does take some practice to not overdo it and ruin it) or just leave it out and be able to eat in like 30 mins. Comes out fresh and you don't waste it ever really.
Do you store it in the fridge, btw? And also you can additionally place bread paper bag (with bread inside, of course) into a plastic bag after a couple of days. That will keep the correct level of moisture
