for bread bags and similar, just twist it tightly closed and fold under to keep it from untwisting.
Twist ties don't really seal it, they just keep it from untwisting (which is what seals it.)
I see you've met my wife!
I find that mostly works fine, but is a little precarious in a busy kitchen, and I also like to compress a softer bread just a little bit when I tie it up. Probably placebo, but it feels like I'm helping it stay fresh longer.
I mean how long does a loaf of sliced bread actually last? 20 slices, give or take? two people making lunch sandwiches, that's five days per loaf. there's usually enough oil and preservatives to last a couple of weeks. (if you're wanting to bake your own sandwich bread, I highly recommend adding a some olive oil to the dough. it helps it last longer and helps produce a tighter crumb.)
I only really had a problem with sliced bread going stale when I lived alone.
