I love how well sourdough bread lasts. To get the best amount of time out of my bread i "sour" the dough in the fridge for up to three days before I bake the loaf. Then I store sourdough bread in a clean,re-used commercial bread plastic bag on the counter for a few days. Note that I NEVER touch the loaf with my hands. I use the bag as a glove for the loaf. When I forget and do touch the loaf, even with freshly washed hands, that is where the mold spots begin. I have kept my bread for a good 10 days this way.
