Storing bread correctly helps keep your loaf fresh for longer and reduces food waste. Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your packaged bread:
Store at the right temperature: keep bread in its original packaging, a paper bag or a bread box in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight.
Check the label: packaged bread typically features a ‘best before’ date, which indicates peak quality rather than food safety, meaning it can still be enjoyed past the date if stored correctly and showing no signs of spoilage.
Avoid the fridge: storing bread in the refrigerator accelerates staling, causing the loaf to dry out faster.
Freeze for long-term storage: slice your loaf before freezing and store it in an airtight bag, allowing you to take out and toast individual slices straight from the freezer.
Find more information in our guides to bread and use-by and best-before dates.

Our classic Woolworths mudcakes make for an easy, budget-friendly foundation for custom birthday and celebration cakes. Explore our favourite mudcake hacks or try these simple decorating techniques:
Double-tier stack: level off two mud cakes, sandwich them together with buttercream or chocolate ganache and cover the outside for a bakery-worthy layered cake.
Wafer or chocolate border: line the sides with chocolate fingers or wafer biscuits, secure with a decorative ribbon and fill the top with fresh berries or sweets.
Drip cake effect: spoon melted chocolate or ganache around the top rim so it cascades down the sides, then finish with personalised toppers or edible flowers.
