I am speaking, of course, of unsliced bread.
I can get a loaf from the corner shop without any packaging. It might not be quite that easy everywhere, but small bakeries can be found in most cities in North America. If you grew up on sliced bread, you might have to practice a bit before you master the use of a bread knife. You may also need to get your knife sharpened.
One local bakery does not add preservatives. This takes some getting used to as well. The trick is to avoid over purchasing. French toast is a great way to make use of day old (or two days old) bread. Look for syrup in a metal container, make your own syrup, or just use fresh fruit instead.

The purpose of this post is to just offer a word of caution, so when you are searching for your next acquisition, by all means type in ?Antique Guitar? into Ebay or the like - just PLEASE check it out thoroughly, as true Vintage Guitars are not Antiques, and a reputable Vendor would know this.

Seldom do I come across an unsliced bread. I grew up buying bread at the supermarket or our neighborhood bakery where all bread are already sliced and packaged.
Anyway, sliced or unsliced, I prefer some butter or strawberry jam on my bread.

I’ve been making the majority of the breads we eat ever since we married eons ago. Our kids are now adults and we have two grandbabies. I still make bread. It is so easy! Once you start making your own you won’t go back to buying bread. Some of my tried and true bread recipes are on my cooking blog if you are interested.
