Where would I find that bread? I've never seen it at the Aldi I shop at but I'm usually in a hurry with a long list of stuff to grab so I probably miss a lot.I store my extra loaves of bread in the freezer, but it's only for short term use. In a grid down/long term situation, I would make my own bread. Not necessarily loaf type bread, but biscuits, corn bread, and fry bread.
Also, at Aldi's, you can buy German pumpernickel bread vacuum sealed with a shelf life of one year. Cary loves it.
I buy 2 loaves, and then put one in the freezer. We go through a lot of bread during the summer eating a lot of sandwiches. Those 2 loaves last us about 3 weeks, so the second loaf isn't in the freezer long enough to get freezer burn.I’ll keep one or two loaves now, maybe

Thanks for the info! That's where the bread is in the one I shop at...will definitely be picking some up next time I'm in the city. I'm so glad you mentioned it because I overlook so many things at Aldi. Sometimes I watch videos on Youtube where people list their favorite Aldi items for ideas since I usually go in with a list and see how quickly I can get out.At our Aldi's, it's at the far end of the left wall just as you walk in the store. That's where all their bread is kept. Ours is always in a large basket with other European breads. It doesn't look like a regular loaf of bread, either. It's smaller and is vacuum sealed into a brick form. Once opened, it fluffs out and is very moist.

Thanks, I will.Just make sure you check the expire date on each loaf. I always buy the loaves that have the furthest expire date, usually a year out. They stack and store really well on a shelf, since they are in solid brick form.
That’s Walmart shopping here. We used to have a friend living here and when he and I would go to Walmart, we’d split the list and see how fast we could get out of there.I watch videos on Youtube where people list their favorite Aldi items for ideas since I usually go in with a list and see how quickly I can get out.
Care to share a recipe?My favorite recipe for using old or dried out bread is Scalloped Peaches. It's like a cross between a bread pudding and a peach cobbler. Delicious with ice cream.

Also nice to see bread pudding brought up. Beyond the drying mentioned above I don't know how to preserver the bread without power either, but I know how to use it fast.

I haven't made french toast in ages. Always delicious.I throw it out. My household buys only the cheapest bread - so it’s not made to last.
Actually, I don’t throw it out, but won’t eat it because 9 times out of 10, I can smell mold on it after about 3 days. But I do give it to friends who have chickens. (Because otherwise it was a “perfectly good loaf of bread!” Cough, cough.
Summer is right, about all you can do with it is dry it. Make croutons and breadcrumbs.
You could treat yourself and make French Toast. Lol. Not an answer to your question of course.
Thank you.Here is my recipe for using old sliced bread. This recipe works great with pineapple chunks, too.
Scalloped Peaches
1, 20 oz can of sliced peaches or pineapple chunks
3 eggs
2 sticks butter, melted
2 cups sugar
8 slices of old bread
Drain peaches but keep the liquid. Cut peach slices in half. If using pineapple chunks, you just use the chunks. No need to cut up. Pinch up the bread slices and place in a bowl. Add peaches and mix together. Spread out in a 9x13 baking dish. Cream eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well. Add the reserved liquid and mix. Pour over the bread mixture. Bake for 1 hour at 350.
It's so simple and is a good way to use up old bread. Serve with ice cream.
There's one in Slidell.There is no Aldi in Louisiana that I know of, although at least 80 miles away in east Texas.
I lived in Slidell before I moved to the woods in northern Louisiana. There are several things in Slidell that weren't there when I moved almost 13 years ago. I'm glad to be where I am now.There's one in Slidell.
Butter, honey...and start eatingis there anything I can do to preserve the bread?
Right now I have several loaves of store bought bread, if the grid goes down, is there anything I can do to preserve the bread?
TIA
