Do you put bread in the fridge?

I've just moved in with a couple of friends, one of which stores bread rolls in the fridge. 
I've never done this before and it seems to take up a lot of space. I've always just kept bread in a bread bin.
What do other people do :question:

Hi there
i always believed that puttin bread in the fridge would make it go mouldy, so i have never done it, but i have just been flicking through a household tip book and that says " wrap bread in foil, and place in the fridge on a low shelf and it should keep for 3 weeks".. would like to know if anyone has tried that !!!!-6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.50 -
Living on my own and only using 4 slices a day for my sandwiches, I keep it in the freezer.The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.0

I don't have space in the fridge, so it lives in the breadmaker (or the microwave). Sometimes I forget where I've put it though.

Bread goes stale in the fridge faster, I freeze bread and then it goes in the bread bin.
From this site http://www.cooksillustrated.com/foodscience.asp?foodscienceid=198&bdc=2376&enotes=yes
While a couple of the bread keepers did a good job at minimizing moisture loss, within just three days all of the artisinal loaves were shrunken, discolored, and firm - in other words, they staled. The bread stored in the refrigerator fared even worse, hardening within a day or so. Why? According to food scientists, the major reason that bread stales is not moisture loss, but rather a process called retrogradation, in which the starch molecules in the bread crystallize. Retrogradation occurs about six times faster at refrigerator temperatures (36 - 40 degrees) than at room temperature, thereby making the refrigerator the worst choice for bread storage. However, the retrogradation process does slow down significantly when bread is stored below freezing temperatures.The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head. Terry Pratchett
