I use to have that problem with my old freezer. Tying the bread tight in a plastic grocery bag when freezing it seemed to help a little. It mainly happened with white bread (which I don't buy anymore, except for buns). If you ate it as soon as it thawed out, it would be soggy. And, if you thawed it and waited for it to dry, all the moisture had went to the bottom of the loaf and made that part dry/hard. So, what I did was take it out of the freezer the night before I planned on using it, and stand it up on it's back end to thaw. That way the moisture went to just the last piece of bread (and made it dry/hard) and the rest of the loaf was fine.
My Dollar Tree has Nature's Own whole wheat bread, too. If you can get it before it's gone.
They only get bread like once a week and some people go in and buy up every loaf.
It sells for around $2.70 at my W-M. W-M brand whole wheat is $1.57 here, and they have Arnold whole wheat - double fiber for $1.86. If I have to (no ad match, coupon or sale) I just splurge the .29 and get the Arnold bread. I think it tastes better, too.
Bananas were .44/lb last night here at W-M. My IGA has them for .35/lb on Wednesdays. Guess I'm lucky.
