You can store the bread in the oven if you don't have one. Eggs that have never been refrigerated store the best. What you need is to prevent air from getting through the shell. Diehards cover them in vaseline. Bananas store longer in the fridge though (but if things get critical, there's always banana bread). @Debbie M - Bread boxes work.

I'm much more likely to hear that things I store in the pantry should be in the fridge and that things I store in the fridge should be in the freezer. The latest? Batteries should be stored in the freezer. I also hear that things go bad much more quickly than I think, so really, I should barely store things at all! I did learn about eggs from a friend: so long as they aren't cracked, they store well outside the fridge. And I've heard of breadboxes but never tried one--my bread stays longer in the fridge or freezer than on the counter. I'll be checking out that book soon.
