I haven't had a problem with the last pieces being stale. Either that or I'm just not very picky about how stale bread is.

You're not very picky.

Refrigerating bread makes the yeast crystals break down and go stale faster. Heat can fix this, but only once or twice. This is why toasting stale bread brings it back a bit.

Freezing bread is the correct way, as it stops the yeast crystals in their tracks, rather than breaking them down. Reheating frozen bread gives you almosy fresh bread.

Think about how bread is stored before you buy it. Unless it's only partially cooked, it's not refrigerated.

You’re not very picky.

I will agree with that statement. As long as I'm not eating anything dangerous (I am picky about that!), I prefer it that way.
