I love a fresh baguette but imo bread from the supermarket can also taste good, it’s often cheaper, and it’s just a lot more convenient.

I have 3 little kids over here; they really dgaf- they just want their pb&js NOW

I buy grocery store bread every week.
Bakery would be opposite direction, plus it’s twice as much.
Two teen boys, we go through a lot of bread.
I also buy meat from the grocery store and not a local butcher.
I buy eggs from the grocery store and not a local farm.
I buy milk from the grocery store and not a local farm.

Do you wear a beret and pedal pushers when you do this?

Because I work a full-time job, care for three kids, I need to stock up the house on Sundays at a regular old grocery store. I guess the real question is why didn’t I consider artisanal bread purchases when I had 3 children?

But every time I'm in a grocery store the bread section is MASSIVE. It sort of grosses me out. Why buy that crap for $3 to 6 when a good bakery loaf is maybe $5 to 8?

Because most bakery bread is crap around here too. An $8 loaf of bread? GMAFB. Great Harvest and the like that everyone seems to brag about around here is more like dessert. For good quality rye, French, Italian, sour dough, pumpernickel, challah, etc. it’s like $3 in my major urban hometown neighborhood bakeries.

Specifically to annoy the poseurs on here who feel the need to specify "crusty bread" when making menu suggestions

Also for cinnamon toast

OP have you ever had a Thomas’ English muffin.

This week we have had:

Grocery store Pepperidge Farm butter bread for PB&J
Wegman’s Italian for turkey sandwiches
Loaf of homemade French bread
Loaf of homemade challah

We eat too much bread! But it all has its place.

Despite the implied judgement, I’ll answer OP’s question. It’s for my kid’s lunch box sandwiches. He likes “hearty white” and I’m fine with that. Sometimes, although rarely, I’ll eat some of it. By the way, I despise frozen bread. But to each her own.

Same. Hands down I prefer regular sliced bread from a normal store-bought brand to any bread that has been sliced and frozen. I mean, yuck to the frozen bread!

I think by dismissing all grocery store bread as gross you are missing out on some delicious and nutritious options.

A lot of people also buy certain types because it’s convenient, cheap, and tastes fine. That’s ok, too.

We buy Arnold whole wheat for sandwiches and bakery/bake our own for other stuff. Kids eat a lot of sandwiches!
