Sometimes I buy the bread lol. The bread just gets made into other things if nobody buys it. Sliced after the first day, made into croutons the day after or a number of other bread goodness like garlic bread or used to make those pre-packed subs, etc. Or it's just tossed cause bread is cheap and making at the scale they make it makes it even cheaper.

By the way, if you have even a passing interest I recommend baking your own bread, unless you want sourdough and you don't want to spend that effort cause sourdough is next level effort. But a basic white bread is extremely easy and tastes so good fresh and lasts for soooo much longer than the store made breads.

I bake my sourdough weekly. Once you have your sourdough it is pretty much the same effort, but you don't have to use yeast anymore and you need to plan a bit more time for the bread to rise. It is worth it for the taste.

I'd love to get into it but I just don't have the time to get past the initial start up. Plus after work I am just exhausted and I definitely don't have the fortitude to make it a weekly ritual (not to mention we just don't eat that much bread). Maybe someday though.

The initial startup requires a bit of reading and then a few minutes every day pouring out a bit of starter and mixing flour and water
