How to Store Bread, keeping it fresh!

From Russel in Wales:
When storing bread, put it in a plastic bag. Suck the air out using a straw and then seal the bag. 1/3 of all bread bought is thrown out so this will keep your bread fresher for longer - Vacuum packing at home!
And an update from Moira: keep your vacuum packed bread in the fridge for even longer freshness....but not next to the onions apparently!
