I bake bread every week and buy the jars of Fleischmans instant/bread machine yeast. Keep it in the fridge. FYI, one packet is 2 1/4 tsp yeast. Most recipes you can cut down the amount of yeast by quite a lot and do a longer rise and you will actually get tastier bread (exception is sweet breads and cinnamon breads--use the full amount).

I buy jars, whatever brand is available. Here's my trick that makes it work: no matter what recipe you use, when mixing, add salt last. Bread will rise beautifully.

I buy Saf yeast via Amazon. It keeps for about 6 months.

Weiss markets carry a large selection of the King Arthur flours, not sure about the yeast

OP, I've been making my own bread for a long time. I get the Fleishman's jar, which you can get at Wegmans -- it's usually in the refrigerated shelves in the back where hummus/cheese blocks are.
In my experience, it's better than the packets, and it lasts a DAMN long time -- just be sure to store it in the frig at home.
Happy baking!

I also use the jars of Fleischman yeast. I keep them refrigerated and use them by the use by date and I've never had a problem.

I use the jars and have never had a problem. Just the regular Fleischman that you get at the grocery store. Keep it in the fridge and you won't have an issues.

I've gotten bulk packages of yeast at Costco. I just keep them in an airtight container and it seems to keep fine.

So far I have only found it online and the shipping cost negate some of the advantages. Please let me know if you see it anywhere in a store!

I have started to make my own bread in addition to pizza dough. Currently I use the small packets of yeast at the store but I guess something else may be more cost effective, now that I seem to be using a lot more of it. Do the jars last okay once they are closed tightly? Any particular brands better than others? TIA!
