I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers do have different colored twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday!!
When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness.
Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
So today being Thursday, I wanted a red twist tie - not white which is Friday (almost a week old?)
The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday thru Saturday. Very easy to remember. But I put a post-it note in my wallet when I first found out about this so I would not forget.
Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

You have a very good point. It seems like the last couple of years they have been camouflaging the date on my bag. It might just be my old eyes.

I used to have those but now it's great to be retired. Mondays now mean everybody's back to work.

When I want fresh bread, I bake a loaf.

Baking your own bread is a lot easier than most people think and I don't use a bread maker. Been doing it for the last forty years.

The grocery store we shop in has all the bread left at the beginning of each day replaced and it goes back to the bakery where it's sold in their own day old outlet. This is not the policy of the store but that's the policy of the various bakers. None want anyone buying bread that's not fresh. I guess that's why we see countless bakery trucks running all over at the wee hours of the morning.

You're right, but there are bakeries and then there are "bakeries." Even in Paris, not all boulangeries are equal. In South Central PA you can forget about buying good bread, at least where I live, although I heard that you might be able to find it in Gettysburg. That's why I taught myself to bake my own bread and make my own bagels too.

New York Times no-knead bread takes about an hour a loaf spread over two days when I make two loaves which is all that will fit in my oven.
If you want real bread from real bread-stores, move to Paris.

I think there may be some good bakeries in NYC. Didn't the developer of the no-knead technique have a bakery in NYC?
