I hate having to throw away bread, it really annoys me because the cost of bread is definately rising and its so easy to avoid getting moldy bread. All you need to do is put it in the fridge and it will typically extend the life of you bread for another week. Or cover in wet paper towel and microwave shortly just to warm up. And if you put it in the freezer you'll have months of extra time to enjoy it. All you do is toast it when you are ready to use it.

Make Croutons (my 2nd favorite idea)
How to make Croutons
Cut on any type of bread into pieces. Toss in bowl, drizzle with olive oil and (italian seasoning if preferred) and mix. Then transfer to baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes in oven at 350 degrees until toasted. Wait for it to cool down and store in air tight container. This can keep for weeks!
It is a lot cheaper than buying store made Croutons and you avoid food waste. I eat it alone as a snack, add it to my salads and pasta for a low cost filler, extra substance and texture.
