I have been thinking of joining a warehouse club which I would visit infrequently (too far away) and am wondering how long I could stockpile bread in the freezer before it starts suffering from freezer burn.

Thanks.

I’ve probably kept bread in the freezer in it’s original plastic bag at least 6 months without serious effects. Dense whole-grains bread of course does better than white bread.
