Very much depends on the bread. I wouldn’t refridgerate toast or other super white breads, but moist, dark, kernely ryebreads are supposed to be refrigerated. They dry out super easily otherwise.

I mean it doesnt go stale that fast.

If you eat a sandwich or 2 a day you’ll go through the loaf faster than it will go stale in the fridge.

Only keep it in the cupboard if you are in low temp/humidity area. If you live in an area thats high temp/humidity and don’t run ac constantly its gonna get moldy even faster.

Mold can literally take hold overnight.

Also tortillas make a great alternative for regular bread for a majority of food. And lasts longer in and out of the fridge.
