You should not refrigerate bread because it ruins it via the process of starch retrogradation (re-crystallization).
It is far better to plan your bread usage and store it in plastic at room temperature, or freeze it.
Very much agree on the expiration! Those are more a notification to the store when to get them off the shelves… There’s tons of wiggle room! Things like cheese will last forever anyways or can be frozen, sour cream stored at the back of the fridge to extend the life. Lots of money-saving there!
