I was addicted to this recently:
Freihofer's Product Detail

Then I read the nutritional information. It has 110 calories PER SLICE.

Sigh...

This morning I had toasted rye bread. There ain't nothing like rye bread toast with butter. Yum, yum, yum!

I buy an unsliced still-warm loaf of wide french bread at the supermarket, keep it in the fridge wrapped tight. It lasts nicely a couple of weeks, and I slice it as I need it, to desired thickness. I also buy fresh-baked bolillos, for sandwiches, I keep them in the plastic bag in the freezer, they take a couple minutes to thaw when I want one.

Not a daily bread eater, but I won't buy "factory loaves".

I like the Sara Lee 100% whole wheat, 70 calories per slice with 10 calories from fat. It can be found here for under 2.50 a loaf, well worth it IMO. Noticed it contains corn syrup and some sugar. Corn syrup is no more harmful or better for you than sugar, and because sugar has to be imported to some extent, I lean twards corn syrup. I wish they made granular corn syrup.

Aren't the supermarket loaves baked from frozen factory dough?

We buy whatever I feel is good balance between nutrition and value.

Currently I have two loaves of Milton's Whole Grain bread. Produced in SoCal sold at Costco. That's the everyday sandwich/toast bread.

We also buy made daily French/Italian bread from a local baker that's been in operation since the early 1900's. Usually three to four times a month.

We also get two loaves of sourdough from Boudin once a month.

Safeway has a 7 whole grain that is great.

Raisin bread is one of my favorites.

Maybe, but at least it was baked today within 100 miles of here, and I can get it unsliced.

Probably depends on the supermarket.

first choice, but rarely can get it (we have no TJoes near us) is trader Joes whole wheat sour dough. Otherwise we eat: 100% whole wheat, 7 grain, pumpernickel or rye. The brand isn't as important to me, usually I get it from the bakery if I can.
